Putmon is a mobile post that can play above the rim. His offensive game is still growing. He can hit the mid-range jumper and has a hook shot that is difficult to defend. Putmon will need to add weight, but his impact will be felt this season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1444762"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"An inside out threat, [player_tooltip player_id='1444762' first='Keshawn' last='McPherson'] has the strength to score inside, rebound against anyone and can space the floor out. McPherson averaged 7.8 points per game last year in the Fall League. His versatility is a major boon. He can be a matchup nightmare for most.

The combo-forward has grown his game on the perimeter and is dangerous three-point shooter. He nailed seven threes over seven games a season ago.
