ULL's Shawn Long

Long is one of the players in the Belt who would appear to have the most upside. He is 6-9 and will be a sophomore next season. He averaged 15.5 ppg and 10.2 rpg as a freshman, which is pretty remarkable in itself. Throw in 65 blocks.

Long's main shortcoming is his tendency to try to shoot from the arc, where he is not very good (31.1%). Why their coach allows a talented big man to waste himself blasting away from the outside, I cannot understand. He need to stay with what brung him and be a beast underneath.
