[Oregon Ownage]

Tom Chambers B- C+ C- B- C+ A
All around scorer. Runs the floor well. Great shooting range. Known to knock down the open three. Fluent defender. Will not be a top shot blocker but can alter shots from time to time. Needs to work on his strength. Can be too content letting the game come to him and can improve aggression. Amazing potential

Buck Williams B D D B- B- A
Natural athleticism. Gets off the ground well and plays above the rim. Good strength and build. Scouts feel he can be an elite rebounder. Aggressive at attacking the rim. Not a good ball handler. Will need to improve free throw shooting. Great potential

Larry Nance B+ C- C B C+ B
Could be a future slam dunk champion. Solid shooting form. Will need to work on his shooting range. Solid play maker for others. Amazing defender. Can steal the ball, block shots and get down the court for an easy dunk. Solid rebounder. Teams may think of moving him to small forward due to being manhandled in the post. Solid potential.

Orlando Woolridge B C- C- C+ C A
Good inside scorer. Tremendous athleticism with spin moves down low or quick first step in the paint. Always seems to get to the rim without settling for jumpers. Scouts feel he has the tools to be a star in the league. Just hasn’t put it all together yet. Will need to improve on strength and rebounding abilities to be a great big man. Amazing potential

Steve Johnson B- D+ D+ B+ C+ B
Intriguing prospect. Star player for the “Orange Express” at Oregon State University. Scouts worry if Johnson’s knees will hold on. Needs to improve his shooting form. Aggressive defender who can make opponents turnover the ball. Solid rebounder. Overall good potential

Ray Tolbert C+ D+ D+ C+ C B
Teammate of Isiah Thomas at IU where they created a great one two punch. Scouts feel Tolbert won’t be getting the same looks in the DASL and needs bulk up to play the 4. Needs to work on his form around the basket and positioning for rebounds. Intelligent player who needs proper coaching to bring out his abilities. Very good potential.

Kurt Rambis C+ D C- B- C+ B
Scouts feel Rambis will develop into a low end starter/rotation defensive big. Good defender in the post and rotates well on a driving scorer to contest shots. Fundamentally sound with skills that do not show up in the box score. Good potential.

Kurt Nimphius C+ D+ C- B- C B
Shot blocking big man who needs to work on his defense positioning. Very good altering shots but lacks the knowledge to play good man on man defense. Offensive game needs work but can get buckets from time to time. Good potential.

Hank McDowell C+ C- D C+ C+ C
Dominated at Memphis St but scouts feel that is more attributed to the skill level of other players than Hanks ability. How will Hank adapt to improved competition? That will determine his potential and staying power in the league.

Josue Veen C C C- C C C
Graduated a year early from high school and worked inside a gym for a full year instead of going overseas. Game fitness is a huge concern as is his maturity being an 18-year-old. Needs proper coaching and practice to realize his potential but Josue seems to believe in himself, but will any GM?
