Prospects

**As players are picked, I'll cross them out here so there is no confusion on who has already been taken.
**Players are in no particular order

Avon Barksdale

21 PG 6'3" 200 Baltimore CC

C+ B- B- C+ D+ A

A former amateur boxer, Avon is a fast twitch athlete that is very quick and deceptively strong. A natural born leader, Avon's intuition for the game makes him a very efficient player that takes appropriate risks with the ball. He can score from anywhere on the court, but is not truly exceptional scoring from any one place. Defensively he doesn't play tight perimeter defense but is quick to use his hands to get strips, intercept passes, and get blocks. Scouts know Avon has tons of potential to excel in sim league.

Slim Charles

23 C 6'10" 270 Baltimore CC

C C C B B- B

Slim is a prototypical defense/rebounding big man. He is very strong, quick, and a good jumper. He doesn't look for his own shot inside, but can knock down contested shots from mid range. He is an able ball handler that is trusted with the goods. But his main asset is his talent as a defender. He is a dependable low-post defender that can block shots and gets plenty of tips leading to steals. 

Snoop Pearson

21 SG 6'0" 180 Baltimore CC

B- B- C- B- C A

Snoop is a ruthless shooter that is all hustle and effort with zero regrets. Offensively she is a fearsome player that scores at will. Inside, midrange, and even out beyond the arc, she doesn't even need to be open to score. Athletically she is quick and strong, which allows her controlled chaos on offense to look like a graceful ballet. Defensively Snoop will make you pay for any mistake you make. She is a lock to lead the league in steals for a large portion of her career. Scouts agree that with her competitive nature and athletic accumen, the sky is the limit for her.

Omar Little

26 PG 6'1" 220 Baltimore CC

B A- C+ B+ C- C

Oh, indeed! Omar knows how to shoot. He's older than the traditional rookie, but he's also much more developed entering the league. Omar is nearly automatic from short range and long range. He's not one to take shots from distance, but when he does he usually hits. He's a more than capable ball handler that rarely makes mistakes. That's mostly because he rarely gives the ball up. Defensively Omar comin' for you. He is smothering on the perimeter and you're gonna get got if you try to drive by on him. He is an average rebounder that won't be a threat to get many triple doubles due to his merely average rebounding and lack of ball movement. Come at the king, you best not miss. 

[Just] Wallace

17 G 5'9" 140 Baltimore West High School

C C+ C C D+ B

Wallace is naïve youngster that is not quite ready for the game, but intends to jump in feet first. Athletically he's got the potential to be a player, but he's just not got the skills or savvy to survive. A team may take a chance on Wallace in hopes of getting lucky on a few dream teen TCs. Chances are Wallace won't last more than a couple of seasons in the league, so draft with caution.

Estaban Weaver

19 SG 6'3" 230 Tallahassee JC

B- B- C B- C A

The talented shooting guard knows how to score from everywhere. He is exceptionally strong for a guard. While he doesn't have elite quickness, his fluid motion with the ball in his hand makes him deceptive when driving to the hoop. He has mastered the midrange game and is working on his outside shot. Esty has been the primary ball handler since grade school and has developed sublime handles even though he doesn't pass very much. Defensively he is a lockdown perimeter defender that will get 2+ steals per game. Scouts believe he's got a lot of potential and think he is a lock for 1.1.

Karim Shabazz

22 C 7'2" 260 Providence

C- D+ C- B B- A

Karim is a one-way player that puts all of his effort into the defensive end. He will get a fair number of offensive rebounds and his only poitns will come from scores on put backs. He never looks for his own shot. He is a poor FT shooter and have never taken a 3 in his life - he won't start as a pro. He is a terrific inside defender that may lead the league in blocking shots some day.

Casey Calvary

22 PF/C 6'8" 240 Gonzaga

B C+ C B- B- A

The WCC player of the year and NCAA tournament darling, Calvary is a true stretch four that has range from 3. He is strong and can body inside. His jump shot could use some work, but it is not broke. He is a versatile defender that is strong enough to defend the post but quick enough to defend the perimeter. He is a good shot blocker that relies on his anticipation to protect the rim. He is a feisty rebounder that thrives on the offensive glass.

Marlo Stanfield

19 SG 6'3" 200 Baltimore CC

C+ B C B- C A

Marlo is an up and coming teenager with exceptional leadership qualities. Offensively, he can take it inside and hit from midrange, but he likes to get fancy so the cross-over step back 3 is his go to shot. He is a shut down defender that will encroach on an opponent's territory often leading to easy steals and blocks. His relentless attitude and competitiveness suggest he has got the potential to be one of the best players in this draft.

Chris Burgess

21 PF/C 6'10" 220 Utah

B C+ C- B- B- A

The Massive Morman as likely no one but me has called him started his career at Duke alongside greats like Battier, Brand, and Maggette. Without much chance to shine in a crowded backcourt, he transferred to Utah where Coach Majerus put Burgess in a position to shine. Chris is a terrific post player whose more finesse than power. He shot at or above 60 percent from the field during his college career, which reflects not only his good post game but also his pristine mid range game. Burgess also excels on the defensive end, blocking over two shots per game despite a below average vertical. Scouts believe Burgess has a lot of untapped potential and should be a top pick in this year's draft.

Eric Chenowith

22 C 7'1" 270 Kansas

B- C- D+ B B- A

You can't teach size and Chenowith has it. At a massive 7'1" and 270 lbs, Eric has a monster down low. He is strong as an ox and excels in the defensive paint and on the boards. He is a bull in a china shop on offense, relying on his strength instead of finesse or footwork to get inside buckets. He shoots around 70 percent from the line and never takes a three point shot, even when he is wide open. 

Elton Tyler

22 C 6'10" 235 Miami

A- C D+ C+ C+ A

Tyler is an offensive behemoth that has the strength, quickness, and inside finesse to score 30 ppg as a professional. He is automatic from the FT line, although his range does not extend past the mid range. He doesn't pass the ball much, which is good because he's a little fumbly with the ball. He will enter the league averaging about 2 blocks and 1 steal per game. Scouts think he has a lot of room to grow.

Bad Santa Brunner

20 G 5'11" 185 Fresno State

B C+ C+ C+ C- B

The former HS rival of Baron Davis, Brunner initially attended Georgetown before legal troubles forced him to transfer to Fresno State. Brunner is electric with the ball in his hands, darting inside and putting his body to work like Allen Iverson. His mid range game could use some work and he is merely an average free throw shooter. He has quick hands that will lead to plenty of steals at the expense of his defensive fundamentals (read: he's not a good perimeter defender). His size and work ethic also make him a sub-optimal rebounder, although he often crashes the offensive glass for crowd pleasing put back dunks. 

Brindley Wright

21 SF 6'8" 220 Florida

B B C C+ C+ B

One of 18 brothers and sisters, Wright grew up playing some of the most intense games of horse ever. And it shows with his array of offensive moves. Whether it's inside, midrange, or well beyong the arc, Wright has got a knack for scoring. Unfortunately, he is not much of a defender. He's got good enough physical traits that he could become a league average defender, but right now he relies too much on his physical gifts and doesn't give more than a C effort. Despite his enormous frame, don't expect many blocks or steals.
