4 - Quincy Acy

Strengths: Athletic forward that can clean up for his teammates on the offensive end of the floor … Extremely explosive … Gets off the ground in a hurry … Quick feet around the rim … Runs the court well … One of the most active post players in the nation … Tries to finish everything with a powerful dunk (almost 40% of his field goals made were via dunks) … Very efficient (shot 57.7% from the field in his senior season) because of his dunk rate … Plays well off of his teammates … Understands how to seal off his opponent in the post, creating an opportunity to collect a simple entry pass and finish at the rim … Thrives on broken plays … Creates and takes advantage of a lot of second chances via offensive rebounds … Cuts very well off the ball … Exciting finisher in transition opportunities, due to his aggressiveness and athleticism … Surprisingly good free-throw shooter (78.2% his senior season) … Uses length and energy to get a lot of deflections defensively … Good shot-blocker (1.8 blocks per game) … Has a huge wingspan which allows him to play bigger than his actual size …
Weaknesses: Standing 6’6", he lacks ideal size for a power forward at the next level … Doesn’t have the kind of bulk that would help compensate … Has displayed no perimeter skills that would warrant a shift to the small forward position in the future … An underwhelming rebounder, especially defensively … His potential as a rebounder would appear to be even more limited at the next level, because of his lack of size … Jump shot has a very slow and awkward-looking release … Gets over-aggressive on both ends of the court and finds himself in foul trouble a lot … No reliable go-to scoring moves …
Overall: Acy is a hard guy to peg, because outside of his athleticism, he really doesn’t project to be above average at anything in the NBA … A team looking for an energy player to come off the bench might be interested in selecting him in the second round …
