Defensive rebounding is a real strength but, he is oddly enough, a poor offensive rebounder which says that he does a good job of putting a body on a player at the defensive end but has trouble getting boards when he himself is getting boxed out.
#2014 dallas mavericks roster free
He’s not a terrible free throw shooter with just under a 60% clip but should never average double digits in the NBA. He is best out of the pick and roll, which is good in the Maverick’s scheme, and above average in transition thanks to his elite athleticism. He gets better the closer he is to the basket.
He mainly relies on his teammates to make things happen for him or cleans up missed shots.
In the post he shows a decent hook shot but that’s about it. With his array of talents Young was able to haul in the SEC defensive player of the year as a senior. He has incredible agility and quickness which allows him to keep his body between his man and the basket. He also makes up for his lack of height with his elite athleticism. He is a bit short for the center position but has good length with his 7’1” wingspan. and uses his size to win all physical battles. He looks more like a defensive end than a basketball player until you realize he’s 6’9”. Patric Young– The former Florida Gator is an absolute monster. Perhaps the Mavericks coaching staff and Dirk can take him to the next level. Powell has always shown promise and many expected him to grow more than he did at Stanford. The added strength would allow him to become more aggressive as an offensive threat and would allow him to not just rely on his quick feet on the defensive end. Both his offensive and defensive game would benefit greatly from the added weight and strength. He has the length to play the power forward position but lacks the strength. He will never have the 7 foot size or the ability to make circus shots like Dirk but, he could learn enough to become a very effective pro. His future will depend on his ability to knock down jumpers and take advantage of his size much like Dirk has. For these reasons Powell is a great candidate to learn from Dirk and become his apprentice, so to speak. Where he shows a well above average jump shot for the position which stretches all the way out to the three point line. He seems to favor a hook shot more than most but many would like to see him work with his face to the basket more. Powell is a tall lanky 6’10” power forward with a bit of an old school back to the basket game. It is due to this that his draft stock places him somewhere in the second round although somewhere in the late first is not completely out of the realm of possibilities. Since then his game has grown at a pace much slower than many expected it would. Potential 2014 Draft Targets Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sportsĭwight Powell– The Stanford standout came to California from Canada as one of the most promising in the high school recruiting rankings. In my last article I offered up Glenn Robinson III, Mitch McGary, and the long shot Kyle Anderson as potential targets. I also mentioned that I believe the Mavericks will take the best player available with both second round picks, number 34 and number 51, with a possible exception at the point guard position due to the depth of players on the Mavericks roster who can handle the ball and run the point. In this year’s draft, talent can be had after the initial thirty which in some years would be gone in the first twenty. Although, it is unfortunate that the Mavericks lost their first round pick due to the Lamar Odom trade it could be worse. In the article I discussed a few things but most importantly, how the 2014 draft was the deepest in recent memory which meant that first round talent would fall to the second.
