Washington Huskies Swingman Quincy Pondexter‘s early season play is starting to turn some heads. Seattle Times Columnist Percy Allen had this to say yesterday in an online chat:
“Pondexter is a mystery for many NBA scouts. I know at least one who will be at Friday’s game and he wants to see Pondexter for himself. Pondexter is starting to remind me of Michael Dickerson. Obviously he’s a tweener and that’s not such a great thing. But he’s playing so well right now and let’s remember Brandon Roy was considered a non-NBA guy at the start of his final year.”
The 6’6” Senior is averaging 22 points and 11 rebounds over Washington’s first three games, which all resulted in wins for the Huskies.
After three disappointing seasons, it looks as if Pondexter is finally starting to put it together. His lack of a jump shot has hindered his draft stock since entering college, but he has been shooting it better in the early going of the season. If he can continue to show improvement, we could be talking about Pondexter as a potential early 2nd round pick come June.
