Florida State’s Dwayne Bacon was ranked No.17 among incoming freshman for 2015 by 247 composite.
At 6-foot-7, 220 pounds, he already has the body to play two-guard on the NBA level. His athleticism is off the chart, he can handle the ball like a point guard, and has the ability to create whatever shot he wants for himself.
Bacon can also knock down the three-ball off the dribble or on spot-ups and should be able to use his wingspan to be a strong defender on the pro level.
He is a huge reason why Florida State is seen as a possible dark horse to win the ACC Basketball crown this upcoming season.
When you put his skill set at 6-foot-7 with players like Xavier Rathan-Mayes, Devon Bookert and Montay Brandon, there could be something special going on in Tallahassee.
Dwayne Bacon is projected to be a late First Round draft pick according to NBADraft.net , but is the type of player that has the drive to improve his draft status as the 2015-16 season progresses.
It would not be a surprise in the least to hear that he could be a potential lottery pick after he does his damage in the ACC.
Bacon is a player to watch throughout the 2015-16 season.
