Outlook:
Byron is a complete basketball player who is a capable scorer and an
outstanding defender. He handles the ball very well for his size and
plays with extreme poise. He is a good enough shooter to have been a
finalist in the 2006 ABA All Star 3 Point Shooting.
Contest
An inside scoring threat with tremendous athletic ability … scores in
bunches and plays with contagious enthusiasm. Byron is a scorer and he
finds ways to score, but he also is a very tough defensive player. You
need all five guys on the court who care about playing defense and that
is what we had last year.
