NBA Comparison : Kenny Anderson/Sam Cassell
Coach Najira's Comment ::
Alex's role on this team is big, hes going to have to control the team and also be the driving force. Hes a terrific shooter and we'll rely alot on his outside shooting when our big men are struggling, hes a clutch player and his mentality is fantastic. His weakness however is his rebounding and his defense, but hes making steps towards conquering the defensive end aswell.
Starting SG - Cody Worley (Wormy10)
Strengths - Terrific Athlete, Masterful Scorer Inside, Great Penetrator.
Weaknesses - Will hit only 1/10 3bees, Turnover Prone, Lacks Confidess at times.
NBA Comparison : Corey Maggette/Desmond Mason
Coach Najira's Comment ::
Hes a talented kid, hes got a really good inside game and hes one of the best penetrating guards ive seen. I think Cody's got to get his shooting touch to really be on the top tier but hes got alot of heart and I know with my guidance he'll become a top notch swingman.
Backup SG - Honor Glow (HonorGlow)
Strengths - A Natural Leader, Athletic Freak, Defensive Master
Weaknesses - Lacks Size for his position, not a good passer, sometimes takes too many shots.
NBA Comparison : Ben Gordon/Eddie House
Coach Najira's Comment ::
Hes going to lead our boys, I dont think theirs any player in the league with his leadership abilities. He can stop any player even though he lacks size, he may not have an abundance of talent but he makes up for it with his hard work and amazing work ethic.
Backup PG - Filip Hermelin (Filip)
Strengths - Defensive Stopper, Can steal the ball from the best of them, lightning speed.
Weakness - Has poor range for a guard, lacks leaping skills, sometimes lacks in self belief.
NBA Comparison :TJ Ford/Tony Parker
Coach Najira's Comment ::
Hes got a winning mentality in him but sometimes he gives up on himself. His defensive is going to be very important for us and his speed and quickness is what we need when playing at the uptempo pace. I think his not going to wow you with dunks and feats of physical impossibility but he will get the job done with the skills he has.
Backup PG - Liberal Almeida (ezzioo)
Strengths - Quickness, Good Outside Shooter, Hussler on both ends.
Weakness - Lack of size, doesnt have alot of skills, turnover prone.
NBA Comparison : Speedy Claxton/Damon Stoudamire
Coach Najira's Comment ::
He brings alot of depth to our backcourt, I think hes shooting will come in handy for most games and hes probably one of the best husslers. Hes ready to dive and throw his body in harms way anytime, I think his size is an issue and he also needs to improve his ballhandling skills because he tends to give away the ball.
Forward Depth
Starting SF - Jon Emmenidis (SkipToMy_Lou)
Strengths - Amazing athlete, supreme offensive game, can drive it to the hole.
Weaknesses - Lacks size for a 3, no drive to play defense, at times struggles to play with team
NBA Comparison : Stephen Jackson/Carmelo Anthony
Coach Najira's Comment
Hes out best athlete, he had a great college hoops career but its going to be tougher in the NBA. Hes going to be are go to guy on offense and we need him to put up good offensive numbers, we are working hard on him in the weight room and hes also got to learn to play with a team and also press on the defensive end.
Starting PF - Joshua Carr (Donatelloforpres)
Strengths - A Leader, A Monster On The Boards, Plays with a lot of toughness
Weaknesses - Lacks offense, terrible at charity stripe, tries to dunk everytime.
NBA Comparison : Ben Wallace/Kenyon Martin
Coach Najira's Comment
I havent seen such a good rebounder, hes aggresiveness is key on any team and hes not afraid of anybody. Hes IQ is off the charts and he is ready to lead a team when hes asked, but he needs to learn to shoot better and he has got to settle for a pass to a better shooter instead of going for the dunk.
Backup SF - Ben Takash (Revlin)
Strengths - A Solid Shooter, Plays with alot of heart and tougness, has out of this world quickness.
Weaknesses - Not athletic enough, lacks size, might struggle against seasoned pros due to lack of basketball IQ.
NBA Comparison : Mike Miller/Matt Harpring
Coach Najira's Comment
Having Ben off the bench is big, he can come in and score when our starters arent doing it quite right. His love for the game is just fantastic to see, I think he sometimes relies too much on his quickness on the defensive end and that leads to defensive lapses. He has to learn the game if he wants to be a starter and play a bigger role on this squad.
Backup PF - Russel Santos (Micchy_Boy)
Strengths - A post bruiser, has great shooting touch for a big man, has good handling skills.
Weaknesses - Slacks of on defense, looses concentration, must play harder or he will struggle.
NBA Comparison : Nene/Amare Stoudemire
Coach Najira's Comment
Russel is one our latest additions, he has the potential to be a really powerful big man and jump into the elite level of players. He as a guards shooting and handling skills which is greatly beneficial for us, I think he needs to really motivate himself on defense if he wants to get big minutes because hes defensive game is at a raw level.
Backup SF - Jae Hatton (Jae)
Strengths - A terrific shooter, good leaping skills allow him to swat shots, can run like a gazelle.
Weaknesses - No inside game, has defensive lapses, is undersized.
NBA Comparison : Clarence Weatherspoon(with shooting skills)
Center Depth
Starting Center - Desmond Jackson (SbHZmAFIA)
Strengths - A good shooter for a big man, can hit the three which is very rare and unique these days, high basketball IQ helps him on the boards.
Weakness - Not strong enough, needs to add size or will get pushed around, has to be more competitive on offense.
NBA Comparison : Yao Ming(A Short Version)
Coach Najira's Comments
He must know his role his vital on our team, Desmond has unusual skills for a big man but he also needs to know his main task is to grab the boards for us and play good defense. We have a special player in him and Im willing to give him the minutes to show us what he got.
Backup Center - Cocobee
Strengths - Incredible strength, can dunk with authority, has an arsenal of low post moves.
Weaknesses - Lacks awareness of both ends, plays in spurts and streaks, cant be competitive for 25 minutes or more.
NBA Comparison : Marcus Camby(without the awareness)
