Cory Highlander
height 7'5''
weight 270
Age 20
position C
school: Manchester University
Projected BBS ratings B+ B- C C C B
Cory Highlander is England's greatest basketball prospect ever. Towering over many at 7'5'' Highlander is a dynamic offensive player with great quickness and touch off the glass. He avg 24 ppg and was MVP for Manchester University in this year championship run this season. The BBS hasnt seen footwork from a big man this good since Yao mIng. And his inside post moves use of the bank shot also remind many scouts of Ming as well. In interenational play Highlander was considered a solid defender but he has alot to learn before he'll be able to play solid "BBS style" defense. He should be a high foul per minute player early in his career. With his height he's a good shot blocker but he needs time to adjust to the physicality of the american game. Ealry on he's likely to get pushed around. But If he does make the right adjustments he will be a multi-tool wonder in the Yao Ming/ Tim Duncan mold. If he busts he'll be Shawn Bradley or sadder. Either way the team who drafts him should have an interesting project player roller coaster ride for years to come. Highlander has been a fan favorite in Manchester for his surprising agility and ability to make trick shots. Rowdy english fans would hold up signs that read "Highlander: There Can Be Only ONE" at home games.
