With undoubtedly the longest name in FBA Draft history, "Big Shoe" as he's conveniently called is a full-blooded Cheyenne Indian who was raised on a reservation with his family in Billings, Montana. A confusing specimen to say the least, his horrendously long first name translates, in Cheyenne language, to "high-backed wolf" and his last name translates to "white antelope". Being a bison, the name choice is indeed strange. Also strange is how exactly he got to be even considered for the FBA Draft. He's definitely a big body with a big presence down low (in fact, everything about him is big) but he doesn't really have a ton of skill. He plays aggressive defense and actually has really good court vision, so he's always finding cutting players with crisp, sometimes breathtaking passes (especially considering who they are coming from). But he doesn't rebound all that well for a big guy, he's slow, he can't really jump or shoot. What he is is crafty. He can score around the basket with tricky lightning-fast layups that he shoots in the middle of his spin-move when no one's expecting it. He can keep other post players from getting comfortable in the paint, and he blocks the occasional shot or two. His selling point, other than passing, would probably have to be his individual post defense, but that can be negated by taking him out high on the pick and roll, as he's too slow to catch the guards coming around the pick. His passing is impressive, but has limited effectiveness when the other team can easily contain him with one-on-one coverage, limiting his passing options. He's also horrible at the line, shooting 40% FT. He's probably the only big man in the history of the draft that averages more assists per 30 minutes (4.9) than rebounds (4.5). His points (4.4) and blocks (1.0) aren't particularly impressive either for a big man. But again, he is pretty big.
Entered the 2010 Draft but was not picked up. Had since left his FBA dreams behind and moved back to the reservation, but is now pursuing a PhD degree in Native American medicine.
