Once the 14th ranked player in his class, Dwayne Bacon has always been a standout. The 6-foot-7 guard from Lakeland, FL took a familiar path to stardom. Bacon attended Oak HIll Academy, a prep school made famous by the likes of Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Rajon Rondo.
From there, Bacon signed into a solid Florida State class. Although his impressive statistics didn’t translate into much team success, Bacon has been on the NBA radar since he first set foot on campus. During his time at FSU, the sophomore flashed imposing scoring ability and instant offense.
