I wonder if his real name is Vanilla Wafer and he just went by Von for sure.

Wow, you're giving Jack a B- and Webster gets a D+ ? while I dont think Jack deserves an F, my sentiments for him are definitely on the lines of "get him out my team, that would be addition by subtraction"

To me Jack has regressed more than any other player. His turnovers are roughly the same as last year numbers wise but in 6 less minutes. I don't know if I've ever seen a guy step out of bounds on routine plays or barge right into a defender (who a lot of times isn't even set!) on a fast break as many times as Jack has.

Roy has exceeded expectations and Aldridge isn't far behind. Obviously Aldridge needs to bulk up, but to get 17/7 on 48% shooting from a second year power forward who hasn't developed a post game yet--I think you should be ecstatic. Outlaw is beginning to look like a core player.

+1 I think Jack could be a key contributor on the right team. Just not this one.

[ebott]

Brandon Roy A+
LaMarcus Aldridge B
Travis Outlaw B+ (I'm tempted to give him an A after how well he did at small forward last night. Travis being able to play small forward makes him a much more useful part of our future than him only being able to do well when matched up against slower big men)
Jarrett Jack F-
Steve Blake C
James Jones A
Joel Przybilla B
Martell Webster B-
Channing Frye C
Sergio Rodriguez D
Raef LaFrentz F
Josh McRoberts F
Greg Oden F (He must be suckin' it up in Practice. Nate hasn't let him sniff the court all year. What's up with that? With our rebounding being so bad you figure Nate would give the kid a shot.)

I don't think it's really fair to even rate the rest of the guys (except for maybe LaFrance - B (because of his contract))

Almost perfect, only differences I see is Roy as A+ other then that +1 to this post.

[Tim Lehrbach]

Roy will get an A+ from me the season he plays 75+ games. I doubt this is going to be that season.

My 'A' for Roy represents a perfect score in all respects except durability--and it's hard to mark a guy down much for getting beat up while carrying a team.

[Voodoo]

Point well taken, I am more tempted to agree with you now that I think about it, but I still would probably give Roy an A+.

Nate C+

[TowelBoy12]

The opinions of Webster on this board are too negative, imo. His shooting, particularly on open threes, has been absolutely disgusting.... however, I have loved every other aspect of his game lately and think his development is ahead of schedule.

He is starting to put the ball on the floor and finish with authority, which is great to see. He is also showing a decent midrange game. It's interesting to look at his box scores when he has terrible shooting nights (which is most of the time) and take his 3PT out of the equation. For example, against the Lakers he was 4-10 from inside the arc; not terrible.

Also, he shows great commitment on the defensive end and on the glass, and is usually good for a block or a steal or two. I think he's going to be a real contributor in our core, and at age 21 is better than advertised in every area but shooting.

Opinions vary I guess on what's wrong with his shot. Is it mental? Is it confidence? Is something wrong with his form? I have no idea. Is it just a "slump"? A temporary statistical anomaly? He was shooting over 40% from deep earlier in the year... Anyway, if his open threes were falling, Webster would be the third best player on the team. He gets a B from me.

Greg Oden F (He must be suckin' it up in Practice. Nate hasn't let him sniff the court all year. What's up with that? With our rebounding being so bad you figure Nate would give the kid a shot.)

Is this a joke?

I would give Aldridge a B. He cant seem to score and rebound in the same game.

It really hurts me to put Sergio at a D. I loved the kid last year, but I have seen few players regress like him from their Rookie to Sophmore season.
