Alex Poythress – Kentucky, Power Forward (So.)

Ht.: 6’8, wt.: 239

Strengths: A strong and athletic forward. Tough on the glass. Versatile defensively. A finisher around the rim.

Weaknesses: Overall skill set still developing. A tweener. Inconsistent. Undersized for a power forward. Change in role from freshman to sophomore year has led to a serious drop off in production.
