First name: Adebayo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outlook:
Bayo is long, athletic, quick, and runs the floor like Scottie Pippen. He is a defensive master, blocking shots, position defense in the post, and perimeter defense on smaller players. He has great lateral quickness for a big man. He has a 7'1" wing span so he plays even bigger. Offensively, he can score on the low post and has 15-17 foot range on his jump shot. All season he made open jump shots when available. Bayo is a very good worker who wants to improve and make it big as a pro.
Comments:
Bayo graduated with a business degree from Bradley University (3.2 Grade point average). He is an intelligent person and very mature for a rookie. Bayo comes from a wonderful family. His mother is a teacher; his father is a minister and real estate investor. Bayo is very well grounded and ready to play professionally. He is realistic about his position. He will be in the NBA some day, but he wants to make money and learn in Europe.
