    What exactly are his strengths/weaknesses?
    <br>
    I would have to say, in a nutshell:
    <br>
    Strengths: Atheletic, Aggressive, 3pt shooting, finishes around the rim
    <br>
    Weaknesses: Dribbling, Passing, Defense, court awareness, conditioning

    After watching him live in the Atlanta game I have to say his biggest strength is his energy. His biggest weakness is defense. He seemed to be totally lost at times.

    most glaring weakness - defense. too easy to shut him down with a pick. but that is common among players.

    strength - effort. (but i've a little reservation here - cato was also a hustler before the big contract.)

    everything else is about average in the league.

    hoopshype mentioned in his profile that he needs to have better attitude. Does anyone know why the knock on him?

    Given more PT, his strengths/weaknesses will be changing fast. He doesn't have enough NBA experience. One thing is sure: he has hustle, heart, energy and intensity in his games which are vital to a successful playoff team.

    He doesnt pass alot >_>


    There was this one play where he drove down the middle and took a bad shot..it was a horrible shot but good thing he got his own rebound and scored off it.

    defense......doesn't do much when he's not making shots.

    seems to get lost at times.

    Strengths: Aggresiveness, Athleticism, shooting, size.
    Weaknesses: He gets out of position sometimes defensively. Consistancy is also an issue I think. I say give him more playing time and see what happens.

    He just needs more minutes will be a very well tuned role player.

    Strengths: Excellent form on his jump shot. End to end speed. Scorer's mentality. Looks to take it to the rim aggressively and athletically. On this team his "NBA style"

    Weaknesses: Shoot first Pass 3rd. Average ballhandling maybe limits his passing ability. Shot can be a little streaky. Appears active on the court but must improve his defense. Experience

    Wafer has NBA standard size and athletic measurables. A decent project that still has age on his side. Plus what does a player like Deshawn Stevenson really do?
