- Dwayne Bacon has ideal size and strength at his position. He is 6’7 and is extremely aggressive and resilient when he slashes to the basket. It’s very difficult for defenders to strip the ball away from him. He does an excellent job weaving through traffic and protecting the ball on his way to the hoop. He also absorbs contact well.
- Bacon excels in transition. He prefers to play at a fast pace. He has good body control, which helps him finish even when he’s going a million miles an hour. Bacon is explosive and dynamic. He seems to always be in attack mode.
- Bacon has the tools to be a great defender. He’s strong, long, feisty and tenacious. He can guard multiple positions and he’s physical. He evades screens well and is a solid on-the-ball defender.
