Notes should be this week.
Centers...
Anatoly Rientizis C 7'5'' 325 20 C D F C A- A
...Complete stud rebounder. So strong. Offense is horrible. Inside, jump shot and handling are all poor. Should get a block a game. Not athletic.
Nate Templeton C 6'8'' 285 22 C B+ A- C B+ A
...He can score very well. Solid shooter. Good handles and surprising quickness for a man his size. His passing and rebounding are also first rate. He also has very good upside. He can only start at PF or C. Also remember that I have never successfully made a outside shooting big man. Best of luck to ya!
Maxwell Haynes C 6'10'' 225 22 C D D+ B- C+ A
... Is a raw big man. He can steal and play D in the post. Yup, two things you don't really care about. Cant score. Doesn't board well. Upside is good though.
Ernie Skinner C 6'11'' 275 20 B- D+ D- B- B- B
...Might be one of the best C's in this draft class. Solid inside scorer and rebounder. Good size and strength. Not athletic at all.Poor FT shooter and shot blocker.
Tyrus Levy C 6'11'' 261 18 C D+ D+ C C A
...very raw. Some similarities to Mason Smith. Can do a little bit of everything, but nothing well. Lots of room to grow. 18 year old so ya, good be fun.
Erik Osgood C 7'6'' 289 20 B- D+ C- B B- B

Power Forwards...
Mason Smith PF 6'10'' 225 19 C+ D+ D C+ C A

Sebastian Greer PF 6'11'' 219 20 C+ B A- C- C C

Shooting Guards...
Andre Wingate SG 6'6'' 204 20 C C+ C- C C- A

Jimmy Murphy PG 5'10'' 175 22 C C A C D A
