Scouting Report

Dennis Rodman minus the hair and athleticism Quite possibly the toughest player in America A win at all costs player The word "gritty" could not even begin to do him justice Sacrifices his body every chance he gets, drawing the charge with remarkable frequency and often diving on the floor for loose balls Also comes up with a ton of steals, and his rebounding is a product of all out hustle, desire, and physicality Once he gets those rebounds, opponents should know to stay out of his way, because he loves to throw the elbows This aggressive nature he has can lead to foul trouble Lucky for him he doesn't have a jump shot like Dennis Rodman In fact, he is a very accurate perimeter shooter, and this combined with his ballhandling, allows him to play at both forward spots Squares his toes on spot ups from three-point territory In the low post, when he has deep position, he spins into the basket and finishes very well Likes to get low and use his elbow to seal off his man Can also beat opponents going away from the basket with a fine baseline turnaround jumper Follows his own shot, crashing the glass for tips off misses Excellent passer A guy whose presents will be sorely missed around the Big Ten Opposing fans love to hate him, a sure sign that he is well-respected Father, Rod, is men's basketball athletic trainer for the University of Illinois.
