1981 Cs

[Oregon Ownage]

Alton Lister C+ D D+ B+ B+ B
Went from playing JUCO to playing for the 1980 Olympic basketball team. Defensive big man. Best known for his shot blocking and rebounding abilities. Good strength. Can guard the paint at a high level. Needs to work on guarding those driving the ball. Good potential

Herb Williams C+ C- C A- B C
Four year starter from Ohio State. Known in college for scoring the ball, scouts feel he won’t get the easy looks like in college. Solid shooter, known for getting inside points. High IQ. All around defender. Good rebounder. Scouts feel his potential is limited due to the competition in DASL.

Danny Schayes C+ D+ C- B B B
Son the basketball legend, Dolph Schayes. Amazing shooting form. Not known to always knock them down but unorthodox to say the least. Good toughness. A very in your face aggressive defender. Good size and strength so he can rebound the ball solid. Solid potential

Vladimir Tkachenko B C C- C+ C+ B
Mr. Europa in 1979, an award given to the best player in Europe. Began playing professional basketball at the age of 16 for the USSR. Finally the Soviet Union has agreed to let Vladimir play in DASL. Due to his height and length, he is great at the hook shot and getting buckets. Tried to mirror his game after Karim Abdul-Jabbar. Scoring first big man. Solid defender who a make a block or two. Doesn’t have the strength to be an aggressive rebounder. Overall good potential.

Lou Silver B C- C- C+ C+ B
Silver is an unusual prospect. Went to go play professional ball in Israel for Maccabi Tel Aviv. Won 2 FIBI titles and decided to test his skills to the next level. Good inside scorer. Has the potential to become a good player in this league. Scouts worry if he can play with elite competition. Good potential

Jonah Havlicek C+ D+ C- C+ C A
Played for a season overseas, unlike Josue Veen and scouts have taken notice. High upside due to his age and is still learning the game. Solid all around game currently but nothing that makes him stand out in the DASL. Needs a minimum of two years before Jonah can contribute to a team. Great potential.

Josh Lanier C+ C C C+ B C
Top end rebounder with great positioning to account for his lack of strength. Needs work finishing at the rim but has a very good shooting stroke. Great handles and can pick a pass or two from the post. Man on man defense is below par but can alter shots and generate a steal or two from the post. Average potential.

Andres Wright C D C B+ C+ C
Defensive depth big man but can provide energy off the bench in the form of blocks and solid defense in the paint. Very good strength but positioning needs to be improved for rebounding. Non scorer. Average potential.

Petur Gudmundsson C+ C- D+ B+ C+ D
High level shot blocker with average defensive ability in the paint. Great strength which helps him overcome his shortcomings of rebounds and creating space offensively. Not much potential but can step in tomorrow and provide something.
