Fresh off of national title and winning several major collegiate awards, O'Bannon is finally ready to profit off of his game and likeness in TMBSL. Transitioning from a power forward for UCLA to a pure small forward in TMBSL shouldn't be terribly too hard for Ed, as his game is more suited to working outside the paint. He has a pure jumpshot and is a lights-out 3pt shooter. He should be a willing scorer, given his output at UCLA the past 2 seasons. Notably, he scored in double-figures every game his senior year, so he wants the ball. He is a fantastic offensive rebounder, choosing to crash the glass hard whenever teammates are working for their own shot instead of standing idly by. He needs to get a little stronger, and a little more patient defensively, to become a great player, though. He will need to train to guard wings full-time instead of bigs, which means improving his perimeter awareness. An older player (having lost a year to NCAA transfer rules), he should be the most prepared player in this draft class to contribute immediately... but it does leave scouts wondering about his long-term growth.
