Name, Age, Height Weight Position strengths, weaknesses here. You can suggest ratings and potential, but obviously I will edit them to fit the class, 2 of each position, and then 2 discretionary wild cards. Remember, they are prospects...not insta stars
Feel free to make as many as you like, but I will choose the ones I use
the most chosen gets a reward, and you will get payment otherwise

Damian Didarod
5'10" 220 PG
Anchorage
21 years old
Grew up in the tundra, used it to his advantage to become a big running back with insanely quick feet for his size. Unfortunatelyhis career has been plagued with acl injuries and towards the end of his freshman campaign at U of Anchorage the final blow was dealt. Lost much of his quickness but was able to walk on the schools hoops team.He was obviously the best player on the team, but the transition away from football was hurting. He battled depression and dropped out of school before playing a season in Russia, where his game really grew. His knees have been getting better and hes regaining quickness every day. Very strong player who loves to have the ball in his hands - maybe too much. Pretty good all around scorer, he gets to the cup just like a big tough running back, his spin move, floaters and step-backs are tough to defend.
Strengths
Scoring
Strength
Still pretty quick
Flashy dribbler
gambles for steals, loves to double team
great basketball iq and footwork
Weaknesses
Doesn't get teammates involved
Injury prone
Never going to dunk
Potential is up in the air

Maxwell Dean
7'1" 255 pounds
PF/C
Canada
20
Strengths - Best passing big throughout his 2 years in the NCAA averaged 8.7 ast per game. Outside shot lives behind the 3 point line and is streaky. Perimeter D can surprisingly guard SF/SG's behind the 3 point line and because of his reach he blocks a lot of perimeter shots.
Weaknesses - Since most of his game is playing the perimeter he doesn't grab as many rebounds as he should for his size. Post D, when he does get down in the low post against a bulky player he is easily pushed around. Post Offense is a rare sight to see from him.

Renardo "Fat Ass" Sidney PF/C 6'10" 300 lbs.  Mississippi State 21 years old. Sidney was once a can't miss prospect, being compared to Shaq. However there was some..."questions" about whether or not him and his family received pay while he was in high school. As a result, Mississippi State was the only team to take a chance on him. He sat out his entire Freshman season and only played limited minutes as a sophomore. His weight is a question mark. He has trouble maintaining a "fit" weight. Sometimes he has ballooned to 350 lbs, other times it is around 275. Strengths: -With his size comes the strength. -Very good inside scorer. -Has a bit of range. -Can defend his area. -Can rebound...as long as the rebound doesn't require him to move. Weaknesses: -His conditioning is a problem. Some people even question if he could average starter minutes without getting to tired. -Low basketball iq. -Injury prone. -Not great at any one thing. -Not a shot blocker. -Handles problem. -Literally got into a fight with a teammate as a sophomore. Basically he is a big fat ass that doesn't like to move or run. He can score inside and has a bit of a hook shot, but isn't definitely one to run for a fast break. |

James "Lockdown" McDuffie
ATH
6'9"
225 lbs.
Butler
22 years old
Lockdown is one of those players that hit his growth spurt very early. He was a 6'6" high school Freshman and many "experts" expected him to top out at 7'4", however he hit a wall as a junior. He started out as a pf/c due to his size in high school and as a freshman at Butler. As a sophomore he transitioned more to a combo forward role, then as a junior to more of a combo wing. As a senior he even played some point due to several injuried. He is your definition of a 6th man due to his versatility.
Strengths:
-As the name suggests, dude is a lockdown defender. He has experienced defending every position on the court and does it at a very high level. Post, perimeter, drive, he does it all.
-Is fairly strong, as is needed when you are going up against taller guys with more weight.
-Is an okay passer and rebounder, but not great.
-Is extremely quick doe his size.
Weaknesses:
-Everything else.
-While he is a great man defender, he lacks the "stats" defense.
-Not a great scorer. While it is developing there are concerns on whether he will ever to a stud there.

Mikhail and Nikolai Romanov 6'11" 250 lbs. PF and C Russia Age: Russia has been very tight lip about their twins. No one is really sure about their age. Some predict that they are only 17 years old. Others think they could be as old as 25. Mikhail is the offensive powerhouse of the two. Strengths: -Great inside scorer. -Strong as an ox. -Has a solid mid-range game and developing 3-point shot. -Solid passer. Weaknesses: -Can defend to save his life. Always had his brother to bail him out. -Rebounding was never much of a concern. Brother usually was the post defender. -While passing is nice, handles are horrible. Nikolai is the defensive powerhouse of the twins. Strengths: -Is strong -Superb shot blocker. -Excellent defender all-around. -Very good scorer. -Surprisingly good handles. Weaknesses: -His brother always scored for him so he can't score to save his life. -Horrible passer. |

Rasputia Latimore
21
6'10"
200 lbs.
PF/SF
Stanford University
Strengths
The first female prospect in UOSL history?
Rasputia plays with balls...very competitive on the court...always plays with a chip on her shoulder... her greatest strength is her soft feathery jump shot....has a very quick release, similar to steph curry....automatic from the line, consistent catch and shoot player...a very good stretch 4...probably best suited in an outside offense....solid handle....can play the passing lanes very well...will literally get in your face and block a shot or two.
Weaknesses
Physical play. Will get beat by bigger/stronger players in the next level. Bad post d and rebounder. Very perimeter oriented. Too one dimensional. Foul prone.

Rodrigo Adobo
18
5'9"
170 lbs.
PG
University of Manila
Strengths
Lightning quick PG...small guard who has standout athletic abilities, probably the best in Asia for his position...very good in the open court...will get by players in transition and finish above the rim...great hops... plays with a street style type of game...dangerous one on one skills....shows an improving jump shot...can hit the 3 in transition...quick hands...able to grab a steal or two.
Weaknesses
Undersized. Very thin. Will have trouble against bigger guards in the next level. Shy's away from contact. Not much of an on ball defender. Too ball dominant. Will kill the clock and take bad shots. Deer in the headlights when he has to create for his teammates. Turnover prone. More of a combo guard at this point. Not a true PG. Still very young. Has a lot to learn about the game. Scouts strongly question whether or not he's ready for the pro's and if his game could translate.
Earlier today, we ran into Rodrigo and asked what his favorite UOSL player was growing up.
"Palagi akong naging fan ni Dante Exum. Siya ay isang mahusay na tagabaril, defender, at ball handler. Ako ay nanonood ng finals noong nakaraang season at Exum ay ang pinakamahusay na sa tournament. Siya ang kahanga-hangang. Gusto kong kumuha ng kaunting ang kanyang mga laro at ipatupad ito sa minahan. Salamat sa pagtatanong na pinag-uusapan. "
"I always been a fan of Dante Exum. He is a great shooter, defender, and ball handler. I was watching the finals last season and Exum was the best in that tournament. He is amazing. I like to take a little bit of his game and implement it into mine. Thank you for asking that question."

Andrew Vlahov
22
6'7"
238lbs
PF/SF
Stanford U
Strengths: For someone so strong, scouts are amazed at Vlahov's fast reaction times. From deft pick-pocketing to last second passes on the drive or out of the post, Vlahov keeps the offense and defense honest while he's on the court. Vlahov's willingness to put his body on the line for charges, and being a more than capable passer inspires his team mates to do the same. A truly inspirational leader. Solid at the FT line, and more than adequate from beyond the arc.
Weaknesses: As quick as Vlahov's hands are, the same can't be said for his feet, particularly laterally. This has lead some to speculate on his ability to make it at the next level as he struggles to deal with the speed of SFs, and the height of legit PFs. Vlahov has a bit of hooligan about him, he can tend show-off on court which can sometimes be viewed as confidence, but does lead to frequent bad shot selection.

Grandson of Wally, he's a lights out shooter. Not very athletic, but is a very big body, and likewess strong...he ate well as a kid. Seems a bit soft, doesn't like to bring it into theppaint much on offense. Shies from contact but is a very smart player, understands how toget open and position himself defensively. Average rebs. Not a stats defender, but won't turn it over too much either. Spot shooter.
