[Oregon Ownage]

Kenny Smith C+ C+ B- B- D+ A
Smith is a crafty scoring guard with great handles and nice range. He’s developing as a ball hawk defender. Still needs work as a playmaker. Will fit in with a more ball dominant shooting guard. He won’t be on the most assist leaders but if your looking for a starting point, Smith is your guy. Amazing potential

Kevin Johnson B- C+ B- C+ D+ A
A powerful combo guard who can get to the rack and overpower opponents in the lane. Has lead guard skills and can play the shooting guard position. Great passer. Solid ball handles. Teams may want to play him at shooting guard early in his career to avoid early rookie mistakes. Amazing potential

Muggsy Bogues B C- B B- D B
An athletic, slashing guard. Due to Bogues size, he is suited as a point. Bogues doesn’t have the court vision but uses his quickness to get up and down the court to find the open man. Great at attacking the rim. Will still need to work on his free throws if he wants to be a impact player. Good potential

Mark Jackson C+ C B+ B- D+ B
Jackson is a pure point that loves making the crafty passes that leaves fans jumping off their seats. Amazing ball handler. Great defender. Steals the ball. Guards perimeter. Offensively, he can attack the basket in one on one situations. Can hit the open shots. Not much of a scorer though. Good potential

Steve Alford C B C+ B- D- B
3 and D player who can play either guard position. A competitor, a great defender and a winner who brings it every game. Great shooting stroke. Good drive defender. Good potential

Nate Blackwell B- C- B B- D C
Solid ball handler who create for his teammates. Can come in and run the offense for a team looking to get the ball in their playmakers hands. Wont be a world beater. Average potential.

Tony White B- C C B+ D B
Rapid player who works his way around the opposition with ease. Despite his frame, he is very effective at getting the rim and finishing. Playmaking is lacking and handles are not the best, might be more suited as a SG for his first year. Good potential

Winston Garland C+ C B- B- C- B
Good ball handler with decent passing range. Needs to improve his finishing and shots to become more than a floor general but scouts feel he can grow. Good potential.

Darryl Johnson C C B B- D+ B
Reliable ball handler who commits to playing a solid provider for his teammates. Has the size and quickness to handle the rigors of the league but wont be a scorer. Good potential.
