Jermaine O'Neal

High School
Rookie Ratings:[/u]
C+ C- C- B- B- A
Strengths:[/u]
O'Neal is a tremendous young athlete, and is looking to be one of the first players to enter the BBS straight out of high school. His game is raw, but his talent is undeniable. He's got some solid post moves, and that in combination with his athleticism makes him a threat. He's a very 'long' player, and that helps him on defense. He plays solid man-to-man defense and has shown flashes of being a good shot-blocker. He should be a quality rebounder, and grab around 10 or 11 rebounds per game. His game is uber raw, but scouts love his upside, so he'll likely be drafted high.
Weaknesses:[/u]
Very raw. He won't be much of a scorer his first few seasons in the league and will likely never be a dynamic scorer. He'll need to bulk up a bit to really match up well against other bigs in the league, and he's gonna need to become more consistent. He's also a mediocre passer, which doesn't help him. More concerning then his on-the-court game however is his off-the-court behavior. There are rumors that O'Neal has a bad attitude and with the past accusations of rape, O'Neal's draft status is a bit hazy.
Overview:[/u]
A high-upside young big, so a definite top 10 pick.
