Personal
First Name: Micah
Last Name: Wallace
Position: PF
Play Style: 3-Point (is that doable? If not, go with, scoring. Wallace is going to be a bit of an enigma.)
Secondary Position (optional) SF
College/from: (can be from another country, street baller, semi pro leaguer, amateur tourney player, or anything else you can come up with) Lehigh University
Birth Date: (MM-DD, Age since I don't know what year it will be) 6-11-22 years old
Jersey Number: (list 3 options) 44, 55, 54
Handedness: R
Dunking Hand: R
Experience: (Years in college, years in semi-pro, years on the Amateur Tourneys, etc.) 4 years at Lehigh
Personality: (go as in depth as you'd like, but include the choice for the game: Laid Back, Neutral, Expressive, or Unpredictable) Laid Back. A natural leader, well spoken and rarely one to argue a call.
Play Initiator: (Yes/No) Yes
Bio: (again, as in depth as you'd like) Micah Wallace is an oddity through and through. Growing up, all he wanted to do was play the point. Unfortunately, when you are 6'6" by the time you're a HS freshman, that's not really an option. He grew to 6'11" during HS, played down low throughout HS, but never abandoned the outside game. He has rare handles for a PF as well as a silky smooth three point stroke. He's far from a traditional big, despite his 6'11", 235 lb frame. This led to him being extremely under recruited coming out of high school. Fortunately, in addition to being a natural shooter, he was also one of the top students at his school, leading to academic scholarships (as well as offers to play) at multiple Patriot League schools as well as one or two Ivies. He settled on Lehigh and after a couple of seasons toiling on the bench, he finally got a chance to start and repaid the Mountain Hawks by leading them in scoring at 16.5 points a game and shooting 43% from outside, leading to being named a first team All-Pat League selection his junior year. Unfortunately, their season ended earlier than they would have liked, losing to Bucknell in the Pat League final after sweeping Bucknell in the regular season as well as winning the regular season title. His senior year, he again led the Hawks in scoring at 18 points, as well as leading the NCAA with a 48.5% clip from beyond the ark. After winning a second straight Pat League title, Wallace was named an honorable mention All-American as well as first-team All Patriot League. He and the Mountain Hawks got to the NCAA tournament where they pulled an upset over 6-seed Arkansas before bowing out to 3-seeded Memphis. NBA scouts do not regard him to be a prototypical "NBA Power Forward" so Wallace will try his hand at the EBA rather than heading to Europe.

I like him, and I think the right coach could use him as the first scoring option. He could end up anywhere from KD, to Perry Jones, to Michael Beasley, to the Morris twins from the look of it (also, guys like Lamar Odom come to mind to a lesser extent, and LeBron's handles for a forward would be interesting too). A creative coach would make it work. I think he would have to play the 3, especially with dominant low-post presences like Kurtis Holden, Demaris Harper, and Dontae' Brown in the league. Intriguing skill set, he'll find a place in the league. He interests me personally, as I love big men who can space the floor (I'd pair him with an Andre Drummond-type player and the inside out game would be incredible, and you could mask him defensively because Drummond could take the tougher defensive matchup).

It seems like the league is going to be dominated by big man, which, in my opinion, is how it should be. Holden, Brown, Harper, Marcus, Shelton, Hope, etc. this league definitely has the size to compete with the NBA. Although that's not to say the guard play is nothing to sneeze at. Cameron may be the best player of all of them, and you never know what some of these other guards and wings could do.

I'm intrigued to see what becomes of him myself. I think out of all five of my guys that I've floated out here, him and Petrovic are the most intriguing. I honestly do think that he could find a place at PF with a lot of work, but I'm finding that I've got a bit of a thing for mispositioned players too.

Play Initiator: (Yes/No) No

Bio: (again, as in depth as you'd like) Cameron was a unheralded recruit in high school, because scouts already could tell he was a tweener. He did blow up his senior year though at Potomac High School in Dumfries, Virginia. He averaged 19 ppg, 9 rpg, and led his team to a state championship. He went to Central Florida looking to dominate then go the NBA. He averaged 11 points and 7 rebounds. His team had little success. His sophomore year he averaged 14 ppg, 9 rpg, and 1.6 bpg. His team went 20-10 becoming a 16 seed in the NCAA tournament. They got eliminated in the First round. Cameron decided to forgo his final two years of eligibility and try his chances at the NBA draft, but will play for the EBA if the NBA isn't kind to him.

Bio: Started out at a big high school in Missouri winning four state titles in his four years. He was the number 2 recruit in his class and chose Kentucky. Once he got to Knetucky he was expoed as he couldn't rebound, so he transferred to Juco to get playing time. He dominated in Juco so chose to go to SMU where he currently just got through. He dominated playing in a revamped system that took advantage of Deshaun's ability and shocked the NCAA as SMU went undefeated in the regular season, however was knocked off by 16 seed Sam Houston State in the first round of the tournament

So is this guy sort of like a "stretch 5"? Because 7'2" 265 and great shooting touch is insane, even if he has no inside game now, because at his size, he has the tools to learn it, and he could be dominant as a player who could score from anywhere on the floor.
