Danny Fortson
Position: Forward
Height: 6'7
Weight: 260 lbs
Age: 21
College: University of Cincinnati
Draft ratings: B C D+ C A- B
Strengths:
Has the bulk/strength to compete in BBS from day 1. Excels on the glass. Uses his wide frame to push bodies around and to establish position in the lane. Shows great instincts and timing on missed shots. Crafty finisher around the hoop. Tough and will lay the lumber on opponents. Shooting touch is solid out to about 17 feet.
Weaknesses:
Struggles creating his own shot. Doesn't have a go-to move or developed post up game. Doesn't run the floor all that well. Doesn't play above the rim. Lack of athleticism makes him vulnerable defensively. Not a shot blocker. Weight has been an issue in the past. Will turn the ball over when pressured. Shooting is inconsistent. Lacks range on his jump shot.
Pro-look:
Fortson can do one thing extremely well. The rest of his game is a work in progress. What he lacks in athleticism he makes up for in toughness. May find himself labeled as an undersized reserve for most of his career. If he lands in the right situation and is allowed to develop, he could become a productive starter one day.
