Ok now I'm gonna throw some stuff up here because I know how everyone seemed to hate my Bess pick, and Bess is a player I personally like quite a bit...
Firstly I'll do a scouting report.....
Height: 5-97/8 | Weight: 194 | 40-Time: 4.69
Strengths:
A smooth athlete...Adequate size and bulk...Very good hands...Is more quick than fast...An excellent route runner...Agile with good change of direction...Elusive with good vision and runs well after the catch...Nice instincts and awareness..Has a lot of experience...Tough and fearless..Offers some return potential...Very productive.
Weaknesses:
Doesn't have very good timed speed...Not a big play threat and won't stretch the field vertically...Is not very physical...Sub par blocker...Will have to adjust to a pro style offense...Some character concerns..Upside might be limited at the next level.
Notes:
Was originally slated to attend Oregon State out of high school in '03 but ran into some off-the-field trouble and he was sentenced to 15 months in a juvenile facility for receiving stolen property...Was at least in part a product of the Warriors Run & Shoot offense...Not quite the pro prospect his numbers and press clippings would lead you to believe..At most he profiles as a #3 or #4 target and return specialist.
Followed with this video...
Now to me personally I think Bess will be a great slot guy, his skills are perfect for it plus he knows how to get open. He reminds me an awful lot of a young Troy Brown.
