basketball: tyshaun prince/brent barry/andre kirilenko (i'm sure i mispelled the names) type player. long, lean, and extremely atheletic. great mid-range jumper, will hit the occassional three, and also has the ability to slash to the bucket and dunk. gets very tired during the first ten minutes or so (smoker), but after that the second wind comes around and can play for hours. baseball: usually a ground ball or line drive type a guy. never hits homers. if he makes contact with the ball, he willreach base... extremely hard to throw out (speedy claxton-like speed.) football: wide receiver. don't let him catch the ball or it's "pyooooone!" very susceptible to trash talk at any sport. looses focuses when getting in a war of words.
Almost all sports: Lacks coordination and agility. Has a weak arm and stone hands. Has decent speed but is very slow off the line. Golf: Has a powerful swing that bears a resemblence to Davis Love and is long of the tee. Accurate irons but at times can be terrably inconsistant. Short game can vary from medocre to excellent. Cant manage to score a well as he is capable of.
basketball: 5'11 left handed player. Plays 1-3 with people around his height. Great first step and a decent shot (prefers to take shots while being guarded, says it helps him elevate more). long arms to block shots very well and is a very good defender. Lacks arm strength to bang inside and is not a good rebounder. Likes to finish with left. Above average passer. Good for instant help but will not get much better due to crippled ankles and a weak knee. baseball: decent hitter, good catcher, decent pitcher with some rare power and comfortable with breaking stuff. football: decent hands... just wants to get the ball and run.. good speed.. good stride.. very weak and cannot cover worth anything. Has a history of running in to a tree with explosive speed
Basketball: Not flashy with dribbling or passing, but gets the job done anyways. Occasionally will get out of control with passes, causing unforced turnovers, although very careful with the ball in other cases. Not a shooter, streaky at best. Drives to the basket well and is able to receive fouls rather easily through driving. Prefers not to be "the man" but can take on that role if needed. Good defender who likes to take challenges, defending players who are quicker and/or bigger. Good at blocking shots. Football: Not quick, but fast. Makes smart plays, rather than making a dash down the field like a maniac.(yes, that qualifies as being smart) Hands are very questionable but have improved. Track: I can run. Kickball: Average defender, but MVP type player on offense. Got speed, power, and um...whatever else is needed. However, haven't had experience in at least 5 years.
Basketball: 5'9" guard. Pros: Solid from beyond the arc. Tough perimeter defender, likes to bump and push opponents around the perimeter. Sets KILLER screens. Always diving for steals and loose balls. Cons: Weak inside, on both O and D. Slow runner. Stamina is terrible. Lacks emotion during games. Passing and ball handling are sub par for a guard. All other sports: Bah. I suck.
Strengths: Fantastic range, good court vision and strong interior defense. Weaknesses: Everything else.
Football: Very quick, no endurance. If he plays one down in every four could be very effective. Nickname of "hands of stone" says everything about receiving skills. Would be a good corner if he wasn't 5'9". Perfect for kick return (just crazy enough) basketball: Good defender against shorter guards, scrappy go getter. Endurance is a major problem. can shoot the J and is just crazy enough to drive the lane and toss up a prayer, which go in enough to get the nickname "Prayer master". can dish the no look pass when you aren't looking. Soccer: With the endurance issue would be a good full back, or goalie if his hands weren't so hard. Boxing: very quick, but soft in the middle. Golf: Now we're talking, Long driver, control can be an issue. Imaginative short game player. So - So putter. Let him know a month before tourney so he can "tune up his game" (i.e. have an excuse to play and flirt with the cart girls.) Online Archery: Deadly after one scouting arrow.
NBA comparison: Cross between Manu Ginobili and Joe Dumars, with impressive rebounding but handles could use a tiny bit of work. Basketball: Great defender, great open court player. Primarily a PG, bu can serve as a 2-Guard at times. Can succesfully post up anyone remotely near his height. Has improved his shooting tremendously over the years, and is currently working on that midrange J. Off the ball skill similar to Rip Hanmilton - never stops moving without ball. A quicker release would turn his game up a notch. Rebounds the ball like a big man, just seems like he has a nose for the ball, and is often among the team leaders in rebounding. Great fundamental skills - footwork on defense, boxing out, drawing fouls, using the glass. Difficulty driving to hsi left, but is also working on it.
Soccer: (keeper or CB)Terrific instincts. Mentally tough. Not afraid to tackle even if it means injury. Tends to commit himself too quickly. Good endurance, poor speed. For a keeper, lacks heighth and vertical leap. Basketball: (SF) Poor ball skills. Good court awareness. Mediocre accuracy, but does not decrease with range. Rebound well. Boxes out extremel welly. Uses body well to create own shot. Poor vertical. Football: (TE or LB) Very hard to drag down. Poor hands, but uses body well to get open. Good technique in tackling. Can be outrun, but not outmaneuvered.
Soccer comparison: Edgar Davids. Description: Loves being at the center of midfield. Can play any position aside from Goalkeeper very effectively. Has an engine similar to Davids in that he keeps going and going. Great tackler, great creativity. Not very quick, but is pacey and uses body well to push off defenders. Very tough player. Will not force issues, but will pick apart a defense if it's necessary. Strong control of the ball, good technique, doesn't play well in insignificant games, but risesto the occasion in big games. Doesn't posses great height, but attitude allows him to win the ball in the air and on the ground regularly.
Football, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, hockey: looking for an Assistant Coach's position-- aspiring to be Head Coach one day. Golf: still can't hit long irons too well. Decent driver. Makes a putt now and then.
