1982 SFs

[Oregon Ownage]

James Worthy B C- C- B+ C+ A
Worthy led a Tar-heel team to NCAA championship over the Hoyas with a clutch steal. Dynamic ability to score the basketball. Worthy has intriguing length and agility and has developed into a dangerous pick and pop threat. Can defend at the rim and is one of the best overall defenders in the class. Guards perimeter well. Great potential

Dominique Wilkins B+ C- C B- C A
He entered the University of Georgia in 1979 with an established reputation as an exciting player. Wilkins averaged 21.6 points a game over his career at UGA. Wilkins became a house hold name due to his amazing athleticism. Highlight dunks and amazing finishers near the basket. Will need to work on shooting especially near the free throw line. Defensively, he can do it all but may never make an all defensive team. Amazing potential

Paul Pressey B- D+ C- B C B
Interesting prospect. Pressey is the type of athlete you want to bet on. His upside is hard to pass on. Amazing ball hawk defender. Will need to improve on his offense. Scouts had him pegged as a top pick beginning of the year but after a disappointing season, Philips stock has slipped. Good potential

Corny Thompson C+ C- C- C+ B C
Bulky forward. Not very quick. Will need to work on his fundamentals around the paint. In college, he used to muscle his way in for easy baskets. Scouts don’t feel he can do that in the pros. Good rebounder. Has potential as a shot blocker with the right coaching. Solid potential

Eddie Phillips C+ C- D+ B+ C C
Ready now prospect. Good at attacking the basket. Phillips is a bit of a burst defender who will show effort for brief moments of glory when it means a huge block or steal but he’s far from consistent on that end. Limited potential

Ed Peterson C+ C C C+ C- C
Complete gamble. Just turned 18 and scouts have no clue how he will adapt to the league but has the tools to succeed if he can put it together.

David Thirdkill C D+ C- C+ C A
Excellent potential but needs to refine many areas of his game. Scoring at all levels, handles and defensive positioning the big areas. After two years you can start to see what type of player he will become.

Guy Morgan C D C- C+ C- A
Similar scouting report to David Thirdkill so you need to be patient and surround him with a good organization to realize his true potential.
