#6 Mason Plumlee
PF, Duke
Sophomore, 6-11, 230 lbs.
Strengths: Fluid, athletic big man with size and a frame that should fill out in time. An explosive finisher who runs the floor well and has excellent quickness for a player his size. Flashes intriguing skills offensively both in the post and especially on the perimeter. Huge upside to continue to develop.
Needs Work: Currently lacks strength in a major way, which affects everything he does on both ends of the floor. Struggles to finish through contact at times and can get pushed around in the post. Toughness, intensity leaves something to be desired at times, particularly on the glass.
Early 2011 NBA Draft Projection: 5-15 overall
