Sammy Carter
6'11"
C
250lbs
21
Salve Regina
Potential BBS Ratings: C+ C+ D C A B
Strengths
Sammy was just an ordinary man, just like me and you, until something changed his life. Sammy had just turned 18, and was struggling to find direction in life. Bulimia had kicked into full gear, and his senior prom didn't turn out the way he was hoping. Things were looking grim for Sammy, until one day, he made THE call to Flynn Fitness. Soon afterwards, Sammy accepted a scholarship to play at Salve Regina, where he averaged 15ppg and over 18 rpg. His biggest strength is his strength. He's a very strong guy who loves to hit the boards. He's only a junior in college, and he still have some upside.
His size is also a big upside for scouts. You don't see too many solid 6'11" 250 big men anymore (As you can see he is almost as tall as the basketball hoop in the background).
Weaknesses
His defense has always been a liability for him. Even Flynn Fitness couldn't work with him in that area. He's definitely built strong enough to become a post presence, but his lack of shot blocking skills and determination are detrimental.
His offensive game could also use some work. Although there's no glaring weakness on the offensive side of his game, there's really nothing that positively stands out either.
Outlook
Look for him to be a very servicable big man who will be a monster on the boards. If Sammy has enough potential and is able to work on that defense of his, he could be a serious threat. His defense is gonna hold him out of being a lotto pick, so I'd say: 16-24 range IMO.
