Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1207726, member: 652"] Chad Ford just released this. McCollough is gone. [B][URL='http://insider.espn.go.com/nbadraft/draft/tracker/player?draftyear=2010&playerId=20163']Chris McCullough[/URL], , Syracuse[/B] No one has seen their stock rise more in the first two weeks of the season than McCullough. McCullough is averaging 15.6 PPG, 7.6 RPG and 2.6 BPG in his first five games for Syracuse including two very strong games against Cal (12 points, 7 rebounds and 5 blocks) and Iowa (20 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks). Those are impressive numbers for a freshman. But what intrigues scouts is what's behind the numbers. McCullough has a 7-foot-3 wingspan, is an explosive leaper, and is the rare big that can protect the rim on defense and stretch the floor on offense. He needs to add a lot of strength, but virtually every scout I spoke to who saw him play last week in New York came away feeling like he'd be a lottery pick. [/QUOTE]
