Chris McCullough
PF, 6’9, 215lbs, 22 years old, 2 years of experience

McCullough played only 80 minutes across two teams, a terrible number for a sophomore who was not said to suffer from any significant injuries during the year. He is young and athletic enough to have potential, but it is of note that the Nets, who needed potential badly, barely used him even after drafting him and dispatching him to the D-League repeatedly. Down there, McCullough did not shine; he took on the offensive responsibility level of a focal scorer, which he will probably never be, but showed some life and some potential as a stretch four. He needs to be a higher volume outside shooter and a more committed rebounder, or at least one of the two, to crack NBA rotations.

Player Plan: Two years of rookie scale salary left, the next year of which will count only on the cap for the minimum. Has yet to do anything in the NBA, but is very young and worth those two years to find out.
