Name: J.J. Hickson
	School: N.C. State
	Position: PF
	Class: Freshman
	Height: 6'9"
	Weight: 242
Strengths:	A classic back to the basket bruiser in the paint.  Enjoys contact.  Excellent strength, especially when you consider that he's only 19 years old.  Shows very good leaping ability that allows him to attack the boards and block shots.  Makes up for being slightly undersized by having long arms.  Always looking to score (maybe to a fault).  Looks to attack the rim and dunk anytime he's in the paint.  Flashes a couple moves in the lane.
Weaknesses:	He's listed at 6'9", but we're guessing he's in the 6'8" range (although we don't know because he wasn't at the pre-draft camp).  Has a limited shooting range.  Isn't very effective when playing facing the basket.  Can go through stretches when he's something of a black hole on offense.  Doesn't handle the ball naturally and isn't much of a passer.  Seems to lack aggression when required to leave the paint and guard his man on the perimeter.
Overall:	The North Carolina State program was a mess last year and you have to wonder what kind of impact that had on Hickson and how he'll respond once he's away from it.  Something of a rarity in this day and age, an old school power forward.  He'll need time to develop.
