Chane Behanan is a 6'6 power forward with an ever improving perimeter game. Over the weekend the transfer logged some quality minutes with his new team (Bowling Green High, KY) and Full Court Preps writer David Money was on hand to take in the action.
Behanan made a strong case to be moved up the 2011 rankings. After watching three of this kids games I can say with confidence that he will. Behanan showed an engine that runs in fifth gear at all times and he finished with authority around the rim. Once sealed in the post and the dump pass was made to him, he went up strong; and he diplayed a sixth sense when it came to what to do with the ball once elevated. Behanan's wide frame and legit size (for his age) truly made him a man among boys. A very physical player that banged in the post or use a nice little crossover dribble and spin move to get around would be defenders, for easy baskets. Chane has an outstanding blend of power and finesse that makes him very difficult to defend.
Defensively, when this kid is focused he imposes will and has the potential to be scary. At times he was a true stopper in the post; however on a few possessions he seemed to loose focus and allowed some uncontested buckets. I am willing to write some of the lack of focus off due to his situation; after all he is only a couple weeks removed from moving to a new state. Give him some time to build chemistry with his teammates and the Purples could make a huge run this season.
The Bearcats picked up an ultra talented player in Behanan. No stats were officially kept, but it is safe to say that he averaged well over 20 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and a block per game. Recently we sat down with the physical forward for a little Q&A; please check back tomorrow for that.
Here is a nice little poll question that I found with Mr. Behanan in it- POLL
