Cullen McMurtry
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 185
Position: SG
Age: 22
College: South Florida
Bio: Cullen McMurtry's story has made waves on every major news program. It all started in his sophomore year in high school when 60 Minutes produced his story. McMurtry suffers from Asberger's Syndrome, which is a form of autism. In the story, they profiled McMurtry, then 15 years old, as the kid who hit 1,000 three pointers in a row. McMurtry is a shooting virtuoso. It's all that he does. He's in the gym for hours a day shooting. He won't leave until he hits 100 straight three pointers and shoots to the point of obsession.
Strengths: His strength is his shooting. He has perfected his craft. He can shoot with a defender in his face, he can shoot off the dribble an he is a master of working around screens to get a good look. He can shoot from any range. At South Florida, he shot 58% from the field and an outrageous 66% from three. His FBB ratings for mid-range and outside shooting will be close to or at 100. His other strength is that he is an above average perimeter defender and does whatever he can to get the ball back in his hands. At South Florida, he averaged 33.7 ppg, 0.6 apg and 0.8 rpg.
Weaknesses: He's not very good at much else. He's fast, but hardly athletic. He rarely passes the ball and is a black hole on offense. He doesn't get a lot of rebounds and may never record a block. He gets the occasional steal, but is more focused on man-to-man. He can't dunk the ball unless he has a wide open path to the basket. His autism makes him hard to coach because he has trouble looking people in the eye.
Outlook: McMurtry is a one-trick pony, but does he ever excel at shooting. He may average 25 ppg in an outside offense and possibly more if he's a high option.
