Name:Eric Quach
Height:5' 8"
Weight:125 lbs (yes I got the Asian gene. and no, lifting weights isn't helping much)
Age:19
Location:Thousand Oaks, CA
Preferred Position:PG/SG
Playing Position:SG
Experience:4 years... but I've been playing since I was like 7 years old.
Favourite NBA Player:Gary Payton... but when he's gone, I'd say Andre Iguodala
Realistic NBA Comparison (And Why): Hmm probably a cross between Smush Parker and Dennis Rodman. I play good D, and can hit the 3 and I have a 3 foot vertical. Plus, I'm one of those hustle type players so I have no regard for my body's well-being when I play. Taking charges, diving for loose balls, etc.
Strengths:Defense, stealing, taking charges (my love for defense probably came from liking GP for so long)
Weaknesses:ball handling, the only thing keeping me from being a good PG.
Favourite move you can do:completely ripping the person I'm guarding and taking it for an uncontested layup on the other end.
Favourite move you've done once:driving from the top of the key, I jumped at about the free throw line got bumped and threw up a circus shot. It went in and I got the foul.
Favourite place to shoot:3 pointer from the 45 degree angle
Biggest shot you've made:the defense was sagging off of me, and I made em pay with a 3 pointer from NBA range. Must have been about 24 feet from the basket.
Best game you've played:I had one game where I had about 5 steals and I forced about 10 turnovers myself
Most satisfying moment:The 3 pointer I made in-game from NBA range
Most shameful moment:I got two. When I was younger, before I got contact lenses, I had really bad vision. I wound up shooting a free throw that went over the backboard and I inbounded the ball to the opponent right under their basket.
Most regretted moment:not getting into organized leagues early enough. Never really played organized ball till high school.
Most painful moment:it has to be a toss up between an attempt to take a charge on a dude that was like 250+ lbs , and the time I dove for a loose ball and landed right on my hip bone... it was bruised for a month and I had to sleep on my other side.

Experience: 3 years really competitive, like rec league before

Favorite NBA Player: Ben Gordon

Realistic Comparison: Andres Nocioni; play a lot of tough D and can hit the three ball

Strengths: 3 point shooting, free throws, defense

Weaknesses: Mid range, ballhandling

Favorite move I can do: Guarding a point guard that sucks at dribbling, then reaching across to pick his pocket, grabbing the ball, and laying it in

Favorite move I have done once: Fadeaway turnaround 3 right in a guy's face

Favorite place to shoot: Corner 3 ball

Biggest shot you've made: Not many, but 3 pointer last game when team couldn't hit a bucket to give us the lead

Name: Will
Height: 5'8" + 1/2"
Weight: 145 lbs.
Age: 15
Location: British Columbia, Canada

Preferred Position: SG
Playing Position: Combo Guard (constantly switching between PG/SG)
Experience: 10 years

Favourite NBA Player: Kobe Bryant
Realistic NBA Comparison (And Why): Not really one player, but a mix of many

Strengths: Dribbling, Shooting, Range, Rebounding (for my size), Defense
Weaknesses: Not all that fast in straight away speed, Can get a little careless sometimes

Favourite move you can do: Killer crossover to get defender off balance, then pull back between the legs to give them time to get steady again, then go into the same killer crossover but make it a hesitation and blow by them. (Works everytime)
Favourite move you've done once: The move itself wasn't all the spectacular, and it wasn't the most difficult or anything that I've done but in the situation it was gold. There was this really, really cocky guy on this other team that thought he was sooo good, etc. You know the kind of player. Well after shutting him down the whole game (only got 2 points that game, and that was when someone else was guarding him for the one possesion I didn't take him) he was taking smack to me as I brought the ball up and I got pissed so I just crossed the fool up and he fell right down backward on his ass as I laughed as I blew by him and dished to a teammate for an open 3.
Favourite place to shoot: Right side of the 3, 13-16 feet or so (where I can get turnaround fadeaways)

Biggest shot you've made: Made a few, but not one that really sticks out...
Best game you've played: Again, been a few that I could say, but not one that stands out the most

Most satisfying moment:
Most shameful moment: 3 straight wide open fast break lay ups missed after I stole it 3 times straight...
Most regretted moment: Just last weekend actually... when I had 2 chances to tie up the game with a 3 and both rimmed out... First was with 25 seconds left, hit back iron, front, spun around once and came out and the second when I got the ball after two missed free throws with 5.3 seconds left and I missed it from 30 feet out.
Most painful moment: I actually avoid major injuries, and play through multiple small ones like right now I have shin splints in both legs, sprained right calf, something is wrong with my shoulder, not enough cartilage in my knees, and my left hand bone is bruised.

Future Goal: To finish my high school basketball successfully and play college ball. Hopefully be able to play for Team Canada also. Then of course the NBA.

Thank God, another literate poster.

I got alot of respect from my high school squad after that game.
