Pitt Jam Fest

April 20, 2010 by Tariq Sbiet

Pierre is one of the biggest sleepers in Canada but was very impressive throughout the tournament and instantly caught my eye. Some may argue that he is undersized at the power forward position, which is why he is a work in progress that is transitioning to play the 3. Dyshawn can get to the rim at will and draw contact with the best of them. He is an unselfish player who may have given it up too much in the first game. However, DP made a statement in his second outing where he exploded for 32 points and about 15 boards. You can tell that he still has some “big man” tendencies like not getting low enough when guarding perimeter players and also when handling the ball. That being said, some of these tendencies have benefited his game…. like getting in position for rebounds, creating a lot of contact, and swatting shots. He had at least 8 blocks in the second game. This project will need to improve his handle and perimeter play with shooting being the biggest area which needs improvement. If he can put it all together, Dyshawn will become a pretty good prospect by this time next year.
