QuanDaveon McCollum

INTRODUCTION: Former of Newberry Wolves where in the five years he became the lead player of the roster in points and rebounds. Deserving to be nominated for three years in the first teams in the Conference and twice in Southeast All-District. He finished scoring over 1600 points and grabbing 800 rebounds.

PHYSICAL: An interesting combination of physicality with decent athleticism, he is quite agile but has no trouble taking physical contacts in the areas. He runs the court well and has good elevation which combined with an excellent positional sense makes him an interesting rebounder (7.9 in senior year but 9.1 in the 2021). He has good lateral movements, the only evident lack is the height which penalizes his ability to play inside.

OFFENSIVE PHASE: He doesn’t have a very deep shooting range (5/24 from beyond the arc last season) but he is able to move very well off the ball, skilled in cuts to the basket but is able to beat the direct opponent from the dribble to approach the basket. From the low-post he has decent footwork and is very effective as a finisher. In the short roll situation he showed some good readings (1.7 assist in his senior year) as well as from the low-post. The mid-range shot is mechanical and slow, at the moment difficult to make it useful at a pro level. His constant movement off the ball makes him difficult to box out and he becomes a very solid offensive rebounder (3.7 per match last year)

DEFENSIVE PHASE: A good defender on the perimeter, he can switch and thanks to his mobility and agility he doesn’t have to be beaten too easily by a quick point-guard. He doesn’t have great reactivity on the passing lines and near the glass he struggles to put his body against the big men in static game situations. Present in rebound thanks to the positioning ability, he does not have good timing as a rim-protector (0.3 per match in his college career).

IMPROVED AREAS: Expanding his shooting range to become more impactful in the offensive phase could open up some interesting possibilities for him. The combination of physical and athletic tools can allow him to have a good career in Europe, he could start from a lower league and grow significantly in the coming years
