Scouting Report: Michael Griswold [sparky21@pacbell.net]
Michael Olowokandi has so much potential, he warrants a top five pick on that alone. When Michael came to UOP from England the guy had raw athletic ability at best, he was a junior champion in the triple jump while in high school in England. However, it is his unquestionable work ethic that has propelled him into the upper levels in college basketball. The "Kandi Man" has great strength, 350lb bench press 1200lb leg press, and quickness. He developed an outstanding turn around jump shot and a baby hook his senior season, after being plagued my erratic playing time his sophmore year and injuries his junior year. He has the ability to step up in big games, Stanford and Fresno State this year, and can take over down the strech and score in bunches. Olowokandi will have to learn how to be more consistent throughout the game and how to pass out of the low block, especially when double teamed, if he hope to make it big on the next level.

The Kandi man definately can. He's got game. I've watched him play all year at Pacific. He's very, very active on both sides of the court, and it's evident when he fighting for position on the the block, defending, setting picks, etc. Big Mike already has all the physical attributes to be a great center, big hands, active body, quickness, long arms, and is extremely strong, so the athleticism is there. It was rumored that he can bench 500+. THis guy IS ripped !!! In England, he ran track, played croquet and rugby. Olowakandi SHOULD be a great defender at his position. Offensively, he's favored that right handed baby hook and turn around fade away, and he's been working out with assistant coaches to develop a wider range of moves. He also needs to work on his passing and dribbling as well. But he's a very intellegent kid and seems to enjoy this game a lot. Heck, that's the reason why he came to America in the first place, to ball.
