[Oregon Ownage]

Derek Harper C C+ B- B- C- A
Scouts have been raving about Harper all season long. A guy who went from being a potential second round pick to maybe the second pick in the draft. He has the potential to be a 20ppg with his skill set. Great handles. Active passer. Aggressive defender. Coach Lou Henson said he can get a little wild on offense but is well disciplined. Puts pressure on ball handlers to get quick steals and buckets. Amazing potential

Darrell Walker C+ C- B- B- C- A
Walker can start for a lot of teams due to the need for point guards in this league. He needs to play more under control. He can get frustrated when his shots aren’t falling. Aggressive inside the paint. Solid handles. May need time to knock down the turnovers. Good all around defender. Great potential

John Paxton C C B- C+ D- B
Paxton is a smart skilled point guard that excels at getting assists for his team. Known to hit the open shots but will never be the guy who takes 10-20 shots a night. Over time, he could be a starting point in this league. Needs to improve handles. He is also an aggressive defender that nags ball handlers. Good potential

Ennis Whatley C C- B B+ D+ B
Ready now point guard. Crafty playmaker that can get into lanes and attack the basket or dump it to the open guy. Solid handles. Ball hawk defender. Good basketball IQ and solid skill set. If he can improve his shooting, Whatley would be a threat on offense. All around defender. Solid potential

Doc Rivers C+ C- C+ B+ C- B
Young speedy point guard. He is a pass first guard that can score driving the ball. While he looks for assists first, he can still score the ball. Rivers will need to improve his shooting and cut down on turnovers to get an effective guard in DASL. Solid potential

Jon Sundvold C B- B C+ D+ B
New age point guard who is more dependable outside the paint than inside offensively. Decent handling and passing vision but his strength is his quickness. Average defender but needs to hit the gym to prevent injuries over the course of the season. Good potential

Sidney Lowe C C- B- B+ D+ C
Floor general who can command an offense and get the ball to your best players. Good handling but passing could use some improvement. On defense he gets into players faces to generate turnovers while playing solid one on one defense. Average potential.

Stewart Granger C C C+ C+ D+ B
Development guard who has a similar prototype to Sidney Lowe. A no nonsense point guard who prefers to handle the dirty work and get the ball in his teammate’s hands. Passing is below average but handling is ready to go. Defensively he needs to work on positioning. Good potential.

Rod Foster C+ C C C+ D+ B
Poor vision and might be better suited as a shooting guard where teams don’t have to rely on him to distribute. Average handles but cant find teammate’s in a consistent manner. Scoring guard who likes to attack the rim and is good at pulling up as well. Below average defender. Good potential.
