has great potential... Has the potential to be a superstar on the next
level.

Weaknesses: 
Ball Handling skills need some improvement.... Outside shot needs more
consistency.... Has alot of raw talent that must be harnessed to it's
maximum ability.

Stayed at home to Roll with the Tide for.. well at least one year.
This cat will be successful because of his amazing work ethic. Add
that to a special talent and the sky's the limit. Country tough. Has
an amazing combination of athleticism, quickness, and discipline to
become a special talent. Has range on his jump shot, can soar over
opponents and throw down monster dunks. Also out-competes the
opposition. He wants it. Hustles at all times. Nicknamed 
"The Bird" because of his swoops to the bucket.

Gerald Wallace
Strengths:
Quite simply Wallace might be one of the most explosive leapers and
perhaps one of the most athletic players in the draft .... Excellent
transition game a sky-walker who can finish with the best of the above
the rim ... Can create off the dribble as evident by his ability to
draw fouls by gliding in the lane ... Hustles and can play pretty good
defense for a player his age thanks to his quickness and hustle ...
Wonderful rebounder for a player of his size thanks to his quick hops
... Has the ability to hit the jumper from about 20 feet out ... Is
starting to develop a solid mid range game although this is still a
work in progress ... The biggest thing that will get Wallace drafted
is that he has a huge amount of potential which will make it
impossible for gm's to pass him by .... Weakness:Has
still not refined his jump shot as of right  now he is not a threat to
hit the 3-point shot .... Could stand to tone up his body more and
develop some upper body strength as he is a little on the thin side
... Turn the ball over a lot considering that he doesn't usually have
the ball in his hands this speaks a little bit about his carelessness
and his needed improvement when it comes to ball handling .... Shot
selection still isn't all that great although he did make some
improvement ....Mid range jumper has a tendency to go hot and cold
must continue to work on his follow through so his jumper can be more
accurate ... Gets to the free throw line but doesn't take advantage
because of his poor free throw shooting although I think this has more
to do with his confidence than ability as in the beginning of the year
he was making his free throws .. Must become a better passer and know
when to give the ball up ...
