Powerade Import: Rashad McCants

I remembered when this guy played in the NBA.  I even used to play him on my old NBA Live titles.  I also recalled him winning an NCAA championship for North Carolina playing with future NBAers Raymond Felton, Sean May, and former Ginebra import David Noel.

Anyways, let's all welcome our import for the 2012 PBA Governor's Cup, Rashad McCants.

 
Rashad McCants

Height:  6'4"
Weight: 200 lbs
Birthday: 09/24/1984 (27 year old)
High School: New Hampton Prep
Hometown: Asheville, North Carolina
Drafted:  Rnd 1, Pick 14 in 2005 by Timberwolves

Overview: (taken from DraftExpress.com)
A talented shooting guard who is still trying to fulfill his potential after missing his second year as a pro with a knee injury. Is almost completely back to where he was physically. Not the biggest player around, but makes up for that with very nice athleticism and an extremely high skill level on the perimeter. Stronger than most guards, and has a tremendous 6-11 wingspan. Has a terrific stroke and is an extremely naturally talented scorer, but is a bit too one-dimensional considering the tools he has at his disposal. Looks too much for his own shot, very turnover prone, doesn’t get to the free throw line enough, and doesn’t contribute much beyond the scoring column. Had a tremendous three year career at UNC. Was a dominant offensive player in the ACC from day one. Was a key component of the Tar Heel squad that won the National Championship in 2005. Had a decent rookie season. Rebounded extremely well from his injury plagued sophomore campaign. Has somewhat of a reputation for being a malcontent, and has had problems with his coaches throughout his career. Body language, attitude can look questionable at times. Will field quite a bit of interest when his rookie deal expires at the end of the 2009 season. With some slight adjustments to his mentality and technique and better teammates around him, could really blossom and emerge as a terrific prospect at the 2-guard position.
