1988 Cs

[Oregon Ownage]

Rik Smits B- C- C B B- A
Smits has the size and strength to become a defensive monster in the paint. Elite shot blocker. Good defensive rebounder. Can get second chance points on miss shots. May never become a league leader in points but he has the tools to be a top rebounder and blocker in this league. Amazing potential

Rony Seikaly B- D D B B- A
Seikaly is the unique 7-footer who can be a dominant scorer and rim protector. Seikaly has the talent to be the top pick but scouts worry about his knees. Seikaly may not get the blocks like Smits but he will alter shots and cause turnovers. Good motor. Good strength. Still needs improvements on free throw shooting and court vision. Can be turnover prone in double team situations. Overall amazing potential

Will Perdue C+ D+ D- B B- B
Pesky defender. Perdue is well polished around the rim. He uses his body to get towards the basket and often finishes strong. Offensively, you won’t see much baskets going in unless it’s near the rim. Rebounds well. Needs improvements as a passer. Defensively, guards the post very well. Can guard opponents in one on one situations. Can also get steals and blocks. Good potential

Eric Leckner B- C- D- B+ B C
Terrific defender. His defense is exceptional and his length plays a big role in this. His strength comes with his ability to keep guys in front of him. He rarely gets blown by in straight-up possessions and has shown the ability to guard almost any size on the floor. The perimeter shooting is not great, but he has shown significant growth in this area. Solid potential

Rolando Ferreira C+ C- D B- C+ B
Fluid athlete who enjoys banging inside. Good strength. He’s a do-it-all guy that’s not going to drop 25 points a night but will give you a bit of everything. He can be seen going after loose rebounds and is handy on the boards all-around. Solid potential

Greg Butler C+ C C- B- B C
Butler will find his legs in this league as a rebounding, shot blocking big. Very good strength to handle larger players but nimble enough to move sideways defensively. Wont become a scorer but can hit his free throws. Very good shot blocker with average defensive skills. Average potential.

Dean Garrett B+ C- C- B C+ D
Elite inside scorer with top end strength who bullies anyone in the block. Defensively he is solid and wont be a negative on that end of the floor. Good shot blocker. Weak rebounder for the position. Limited potential.

Jose Vargas C D+ F+ B- C A
One of the older prospects in this class but he might have the most potential which is his saving grace. Very raw skillset across the board with his pluses being his strength and quickness for the position. Below average defender. Will need three seasons before you can judge if Vargas has a place in the league.

Charles Shackleford B- D D B+ C+ C
Above average inside scorer but finishing needs work. He will find a role as a defensive big with his skills being very good. Not much a turnover producer but will play solid defense. Rebounding is slightly weak for the position. Average potential.

Tito Horford C+ C C B C+ B
Jack of all trades bigman who only excels in the paint defensively. Great strength which is used effectively to move opposing players from the post but finishing is poor. Good potential.
