Mathew Bryan-Amaning British Draft Prospect

  • Birthday: Unknown
  • NBA Position: Power Forward
  • Class: Senior
  • Ht: 6-10
  • Wt: 232
  • Hometown: Surrey, England
  • High School: South Kent (CT)

Representing Britain in the Olympics and Eurobasket with Luol Deng and Ben Gordon alongside him Mathew Bryan-Amaning is looking like one of the best British prospects in a while (Not that there are many anyway).

 
Strengths: Mathew is a very athletic and physical power forward. He is a great leaper and loves to dunk the ball. His offensive post moves are decent with his back to the basket but hes better when facing up. He has a good first step for a big man and knows how to get to the free throw line. He is also very agile for his size. He has a huge, muscular chest that protrudes from his body and long arms.

Weaknesses: Defense is the biggest question mark for Mathew. He often seems desireless on defense and  does not make as big of an impact on this side of the floor as compared to offense. He needs to focus specifically on his aggressiveness and toughness defending the paint. His core seems strong, but he is skinny and should add another 15 pounds of bulk to be able to guard NBA power forwards.
