Scouting reports

Scout: From: Ken Bowers [kenb@uclink4.berkeley.edu]

MacCullough is big and slow. Based on seeing him in person, I think that 7' and 280 lbs is legit, or very close. His speed may keep him from doing much in the NBA. Teams are definitley going to want to work him out to assess his ability to move around the court. If he can keep up, he'll be a contributor.

Those shooting percentages don't come from a steady diet of dunks and putbacks--he has developed some nice offensive moves, and with his size he'll be able to shoot over most pros, as long as he can get into his moves quickly enough. His game is a little mechanical, suggesting that he didn't really develop a feel for the game as a kid. His instincts have improved greatly over the past few years. For instance, his assist numbers aren't impressive, but he made good passes out of the double-team his senior season.

As the blocked shots suggest, he's not a major defensive intimidator. He does use his size pretty well one-on-one and he'll clog up the middle and bother anyone who shoots near him. He'll also use his size to battle for a rebound.

I think Bryant Reeves is a decent comparison--MacCullough will have similar strengths and weaknesses. He'll be a lot cheaper, and unlike Reeves he hasn't shown signs of weight problems. He has worked to improve almost every aspect of his game and that's reflected in his stats. There's a good chance he'll show similar steady improvement in the NBA and develop into a decent starting center. He'll probably go somewhere between 10 and 20 in the draft, depending on how he works out and team needs.
