"A" grader? references? wtf? i could probably play A grade, but different comps have different [perceptions on what "A Grade" is... id be comfurtable at "B". as for a player to compare myself with, well thats really hard to say. il tell you what i can do, im a solid back to the basket player, i have a decent hook shot and my jumper is very consistant. defensively, im good at defending the post, however my lateral footwork isnbt especially quick.. i can predict post moves and footing of opponents so generally i can over come that. its been a while since i have played, about 6 mionths but my shot is still well and truly there.... well theres my scouting report on myself... there ya go, im not some hapless beginner,.. ive been playing for 8 years,... nor am i a district div 1 or 2 player, im just a solid player.
