Some of us have the horror of having to wait for our senior basketball season to show what your schools basketball team is all about. Well I'm here to break down me and Sped's grade.
PG:Taylor Volpe 5'8" 135lbs
Strengths: I have honestly never seen this kid get picked from his dribble. His handle is simply awesome. Hes not the And1 type, but he has a quick crossover and in and out. Is a pretty smart player on the court and knows whats goin on alot of the time. Probably the best mid range jumper in the grade. Has a decent 3 ball, pretty inconsistant though.
Weaknesses: Isn't very big as you can see. Throws passes away alot and gets into trouble with turnovers. Can be taken in the post alot by just about anyone. Has very slow quickness and speed.
SG: Andrew Shaner(Sped) 5'11" 150lbs
Strengths:Is very versatile on the perimeter. Can play anywhere from Point to Small Forward. Handles are pretty good, and is smart on the court. Mid range jumper and 3 ball are improving very greatly and is starting to score more. Has very good man to man defense, and will get alot of steals. And will block a shot once in awhile. And is a pretty good passer.
Weaknesses: Also isn't very big or bulky. Shot is coming around, but release is very slow. Post defense needs to improve, or else would probably would cover Powers. Doesn't take his layups very strong, changing his shot alot.
SF: Kody Webb(Me) 5'10" 160lbs
Strenghs: Im pretty quick(or at least think I am) and fairly fast. Im pretty good at post defense cause I usually cover Powers or Centers regardless of who is on the court for us. Mid range jumper is decent, I make a living behind the arc. Also block a shot once in while. Passing on the perimter is alright, post passing is my speciality in the passing department. I take alot of charges, and am so far our leading rebounder on varsity.(2 games)
Weaknesses: Man to man defense needs to improve alot. Handle isn't very good, I would never play Shooting Guard. Gte caught watching the ball alot. And I sometimes get into foul trouble.
PF: Jordan Kilbourn 6'1" 165lbs
Strengths: Completely reminds me of Jermaine O'Neal in the post. And Dirk Nowitzki on the perimeter. Blocks shots quit often. Post moves are getting better and better every day. One of the better all around shooters on the team. Handle is pretty good, which alows him to play Small Forward alot. Post defense is pretty decent.
Weaknesses: Man to man defense is pretty bad. Would probably be a Small Forward 75% of the time if he could play man to man d. Try's to block too many shots underneath and gets fouls. Doesn't have much knowledge for the game, and sometimes does stupid stuff. Will once in awhile get into moods when he wants to do nothing but shoot.
C: Dan Egly 6'1" 185lbs
Strengths: His greatest asset is probably his strength. Plays alot like Amare Stoudamire. Starts at Power Forward on varsity so he gets his fare share of bigger players than him he has to cover. Has about a 10-12 foot jumper that'll go in. Believe it or not is the fastest kid on our team. Blocks a ton of shots, many off the backboard.
Weaknesses: Isn't a very good passer and will sometimes cause turnovers. Post moves or horrible. Basically just jumps into people and scores. Fouls out of just about every game he has played in.
6th Man:
PF/C Adam Shaner 6'0" 175lbs
Strenghts: Is defiently a husle player. Has no problem with diving on the floor. Has very good post moves. Is pretty lengthy, whick makes for good rebounding ability. That and he is good at boxing out. Has about a 8 foot jumper. Good on post defense.
Weaknesses: Doensn't really have any scoring ability. Passing needs tweaked a bit. Could expand his range a little bit too. A pretty sound player, doesn't excel in anything, but isn't horrible in anything either.
