Kwan Xi
Height: 6'10"
Weight: 215
Position: SF/PF
Age: 19
Country: China
Bio: Kwan Xi is a huge prospect in China and is heralded as the next big Asian prospect.
Xi is somewhat versatile, but many feel that he is too weak and soft to make it in BBS. He's also a bit of a 'twiner and is a bit slow to play SF, but doesn't bang enough inside to be considered a true PF.
Strengths: Xi is a great shooter and rebounder. He always somehow finds a way to get to the ball. He's very good with the ball in his hands and protects the rock after grabbing boards or on offense. Xi has great reach and as a result, he can block the occasional shot, although he lacks the killer instinct and tenacity to do it consistently. He is great from the stripe and from three point range.
Weaknesses: Xi has a lot of weaknesses. He is very timid offensively and doesn't drive to the basket with aggressiveness. He is also timid on defense and while he is a serviceable help defender, his man-to-man skills are lacking. He is a poor vertical athlete, but has decent foot speed.
Outlook: Xi is a limited player, but with his upside and visible strengths in his game, he could be a solid starter. He would be a gem for outside shooting teams, but is somewhat one-dimensional.
