| Dyson, Jerome | Connecticut | 6'3" | 190 | SG | SR. | Dyson played inconsistently as a Senior in a season in which he had two different coaches (due to Jim Calhoun's health). …Dyson really stood out to me as a guy that is capable of making plays at NBA speed. He is an aggressive right-handed scoring guard. He owns a real easy and smooth shooting stroke. He has a mid-range game. His numbers this year were 17 points, four rebounds, and four assists per game. He shot just 39% FG. ...He plays good pressure on-ball defense. He takes charges. He has great speed. ...Clark Kellogg says of Dyson, "He's eel-like." ...Named to Big East All Freshman team 2006-07. ...My knocks against him are that he is very careless with the ball - looking for the big play too often. He also needs to be better with his left hand and he takes plays off. ...I saw Dyson when thing were not going his way. I also saw him providing good energy at times. ...Life can be funny for a prospect. UConn was rolling fine when Calhoun was healthy. When he abruptly took a leave - the momentum for the team changed and Dyson's season took a wrong turn. ...I was asking if Dyson is mentally tough enough in Big East Tournament game. He was clearly in a funk. |
Where do I expect Dyson to be taken? Somewhere around 57th.
Our best advice: In 2002 - the 57th pick was Corsley Edwards. We said - "take Udonis Haslem".
Our worst advice: In 1999 - the 57th pick was Manu Ginobili. We said - "take Derek Hood".
