Sample Player Report

 

DATE: Aug. 31, 2011         

GAME: Spain vs. Poland (Euro Championship)          

PLAYER/#9 : Felipe Reyes         

Intl. TEAM:                Spain National Team –Real Madrid (club team)

DOB: 3-16-1980       HEIGHT:  2.06m       WEIGHT:       NBA POSITION:       Center-PF

Physical: Strong and solid with good muscle mass. His arm length is proportionate to size. Good speed up and down full court. He plays with a chip on shoulder (in good sense). Not a great leaper. He is well coordinated but mechanical.

Shooting: Has greatly improved range and accuracy on jump shot. Can attack basket from medium range w dribble and is an aggressive offensive rebounder which may be his best trait. Good team player. He sacrifices individual numbers for collective on offensive sets. Gets a lot of garbage baskets and is very active, relentless.

Position Offense: Prefers low blocks. Not as accurate as a shooter when receiving ball in movement (pick and roll) as compared to catch and play down low. Back to basket skills are good although shot selection sometimes less than correct.

Defense / Rebounding: Very aggressive defender. Lateral quickness is good. He is able to guard Centers and PF equally well. At present is an excellent role player for Gasol & Co. in this tournament - Euros 2011. He rebounds with position and although a decent jumper, relies on strength and maneuvering.

Miscellaneous: Already over 30. Seldom injured in ACB career hard nosed competitor. Contract details for subscribers.

Overall Rating: NBA level he is a rotation player, nothing more. Has never shown any desire to go to NBA and at this point of his career would probably not go if asked, however his role playing could be used by a majority of NBA teams. However, with new CBA coming into effect his price range would be accessible for all.
