Clifford Sutton
position: Forward
age: 18
height: 6'10
weight: 210
Current Team: Alabama State
Prospect Grades:
B C+ D C+ C A
Strengths:
Has a knack for scoring. Can finish in a variety of ways at the hoop. Excellent leaping ability allows him to sky for some impressive dunks. Has a silky touch from the mid range area. Deadly on the catch and shoot. Has even shown the ability to take a pull up jumper and shoot a fall away shot along the baseline. Has quick post moves and knows how to get his shot off on the block. Is a presence in the lane. Will alter/block shots on a consistent basis.
Weaknesses:
Thin frame. Lacks bulk and isn't very strong at this point. Is turnover prone and tends to hold onto the ball too long. Will often miss the open man, throwing wild passes into the 10th row. Poor rebounder. Shows the effort but doesn't have the strength or awareness to be a presence on the glass. Good shot blocking ability but probably not elite. Overall defense needs work. Tends to pick up fouls in bunches. Better perimeter defender than post defender at this point.
Notes:
Intriguing prospect. Has an advanced offensive arsenal for an 18 year old. Future position is uncertain. He needs to add a significant amount of muscle mass in order to become a consistent interior player at the next level. May be forced to develop a more perimeter oriented style of play.
