NBA Comparison: Mike Sweetney
Strengths: A very established post player...Has the muscles, the strength, and the tenacity to get
to and finish around the basket...Finishes well with turnarounds, hook shots and simple layups...Establishes position real
well, backs down and has an array of spin moves and pump fakes to draw contact...Gets to the line frequently...Will dunk he
has the opportunity...Uses both brain and brawn...Rebounding is superb...For his height, really boxes out of his man and uses
simple fundamentals to corral rebounds...Has a nose for the offensive rebound as well, gets lot of putbacks...Always plays
hard as the self-proclaimed "garbage man" of the team...Very tough player....Will do his best to contest shots...Has a solid
understanding of the game...
Weaknesses: Has decent but not great height for the PF position...Plays like the underdog, and in
fact, is pretty much so; gets it done, just not flashy....Doesn't have too many physical tools besides pure strength; athleticism,
leaping ability and explosiveness are all subpar...Needs to develop a mid-range jumpshot; he is so advanced in his post game
that he literally does nothing else...Rebounding might suffer at the NBA level...Isn't an extreme defensive presence due to
lack of physical tools, but effort is there...Not a good perimeter defender in rotations...Footspeed is subpar...Ballhandling
skills need work...
