An Unnecessarily Exhaustive Guide To The 2010/11 NCAA Tournament, Part 2: Eastern Region
Rule Britannia.
English big man Matthew Bryan-Amaning has more than a little of Englishman Pops Mensah-Bonsu to his game. MBA is 6'9, 240, and very athletic, and he will run the court extremely well, crash the glass (normally), and make some shots from 16 feet and in. That said, even in his senior season, MBA still has a worrying large knack for mistakes - put more broadly, for all his talents and physical gifts, he is not a very high IQ player. He's also somewhat predictable when creating in the post - 99 times out of 99, MBA is going to employ the spin move, a move which isn't too hard to take away from him when you know it's coming. And once he gets the ball in the post, he doesn't (or can't) pass out of it.
