He is a dynamic athlete who can stretch the floor with his 3-point shooting while exciting the crowd with his explosive dunking. He's a young talent with a very high upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1557399' first='Sheek' last='Pearson'] (John Burroughs): A 6'9" forward who has excellent length and a burgeoning skill set to match.
