Pops Mensah-Bonsu
Position: PF
Height: 6’9”
Weight: 240lbs
Accolades: A-10 Most Improved Player (04), A-10 All-Championship Team (05), A-10 All-Conference Second Team (05)
Scouting Report: A defensive specialist who swats shots left and right. A great leaper who can punish the rim in the post.
Strengths: Shot blocking. Pops goes after every shot, blocking more than his share and altering many others. Also has great springs and can attack the rim.
Weaknesses: Offense and rebounding. Doesn’t score a particularly high number of points (even in the A-10). His rebounding numbers are also mediocre for a big man. Very foul prone due to his all out aggression on defense – he doesn’t know how to take the foot off the pedal when he can’t afford to pick up another foul.
Projected 2006 Draft Range: Late second round – undrafted
Consensus: Pops athleticism and shot blocking ability will be his only ticket to the pros. His offensive game is still too unpolished at this point for him to be a high draft pick. He could be a sleeper pick late in the second round if down the road he can add to his offensive repertoire and learn how to stay out of foul trouble.

Wasn't he like a really good player for George Washington before he got injured? When I used to see him play I thought he was going at least top 30. What happened to him? This website gots him going undrafted and if signed being a 12th man or on the IR. I seriously think he will be a gigantic surprise on the league.
