Sam Hyde
"Caricature"
position: Center
age: 22
height: 7'1
weight: 282lbs
Current Team: Maryland (committed to Senior season)
Prospect Grades:
B D- D- B B A
Strengths:
Old Fashioned center. Big and strong. Has a good post up game that continues to develop. Extremely difficult to handle when he establishes good position. Draws a ton of fouls. Excellent rebounder, especially on the defensive end. Is a defensive presence. Strong post defender with above average shot blocking ability.
Weaknesses:
Size limits his quickness and leaping ability. Not a good shooter. Has very limited range. Struggles at the FT line. Passing ability is sub par. Gets exposed guarding the perimeter. Will leave shooters open, preferring to hang around the lane. Exclusively a back to the basket player. No face up/perimeter game. Not made for the transition game.
Notes:
Wasn't highly recruited out of high school. Was considered a mid-level prospect until this year. Really broke out and established
himself as one of the top talents in college basketball. Improved conditioning and a higher commitment to the game made a huge difference in his performance. Will it continue? Says he's committed to staying for his senior season in Maryland.
