Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan0307, post: 1637780, member: 1743"] Malachi's strengths and weaknesses as described by Draft Express. Strengths: -Decent size for a shooting guard at 6-5 ½ in shoes -Excellent frame that will fill out nicely -Very long arms. 6-10 ½ wingspan -Nice scoring instincts -Good in transition -Gets to the free throw line at a good rate -Can get hot from outside. Capable of knocking down shots in rhythm with feet set or off the dribble -Very good lateral quickness Weaknesses -Good, not great athlete. More smooth than explosive -A little undersized for a small forward -Not a great ball-handler in the half-court. -No left hand -Shooting mechanics are unorthodox. Has a very rigid stroke. Sometimes just flings ball at the rim. Other times shot looks very good. Needs to become more consistent with his stroke -Relies very heavily on outside shot. Over half of field goal attempts Outlook: Streaky scorer who can get hot quickly and knock down a barrage of outside shots. Talented prospect missing a good amount of polish and experience. Reclassified and is now much older than most of his classmates. Will turn 20 during his freshman season in college. Lydon's Strength and weaknesses as described by draft express. Strengths -Has a nice frame that should fill out in time. Big shoulders -Good wingspan -Solid athlete. Fluid and mobile -Decent skill-level on the perimeter -Very nice shooting stroke. Can make catch and shoot 3-pointers when left open -Can create off the dribble a bit in straight line -Rotates for blocks -Crashes offensive glass. Competitive guy -Intelligent player. Plays within himself Weaknesses -Still filling out physically. Lack of strength affects him in every facet of the game -Cannot utilize his size inside the paint -Struggles to finish around the basket -Poor defensive rebounder -Lacks a degree of toughness -Little bit upright on perimeter defensively Outlook Stretch four with a nice skill-level. Still raw in many facets of the game but shows a solid framework to improve as he gets stronger and matures. Was not particularly productive in this year's EYBL. May be better suited in more structured settings playing alongside other good players. Plays a coveted position in today's basketball. Looks likely to outplay his current recruiting ranking.
