[b]Strengths:[/b] Mergerson is a strong wide body power forward that plays with urgency on both ends of the floor. He runs the floor pretty well and can finish with a clear path or angle to the rim. Mergerson scores in the post with over his left shoulder. He showed a running sky hook that was very impressive. Mergerson can also step out to about 15 feet when he can make open shots with needed time and space. He also does a good job of knocking down free throws. He is an good on the ball shot blocker mostly because of his size, length and timing. Mergerson also displayed the ability to pass the ball out of the post with good accuracy on the strong or weak side. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Mergerson is an average athlete which causes him to be regarded as a under the rim but good finisher. He will struggle with long athletic post but that will not prevent him from attacking them on a regular basis. Mergerson must continue to pay close attention to his strength and conditioning as well. Also he must work to add to his post move package in terms of a counter move for his left shoulder scoring attack. [b]Bottom Line:[/b] Mergerson is a overachieving power forward that can score, rebound and block shots although is a average athlete. He plays with urgency and competes on both ends. Mergerson is consistently productive and has good upside.NotesTravel Team: Dallas Mustangs...
