Micah Downs - Downs has put it together over the last two seasons and played his way into contention with an all-around game and an athletic 6'9 frame. He started this season with Budivelnyk in the Ukraine, and averaged 10.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in Euroleague play, but left a fortnight ago and is now available.

In his first D-League season, Downs got out to a blistering start, the closest thing to a prime Andrei Kirilenko that the Maine Red Claws have ever seen. He tapered off over the final two months but still finished with season averages of 16.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Downs has always had tools but has never had a great run of actually putting them together. This year, admittedly while free-roaming a bit in a D-League style that allows for that, he made a leap.

Former Gonzaga swingman Downs played with the Suns in summer league last year, and then went to play for KK Zadar in Croatia. This tweet suggests that he didn't like it there much.

I cant believe I still have 5 months left in this place.

Downs left there in midseason to go to Belgium, where he averaged 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.2 fouls in 23 minutes per game. He is athletic, a dunker and a shooter, with absolutely nothing in between and no real ability to create his own shot. He's also thin and very inconsistent, and while he should be a very good defender, he isn't always so.
