Mike

NBA Comparison: Rajon Rondo

Favorite moves: Scoop shot and straight-away 3-pointer

Bio: On the hallowed basketball court at Centre Acres, Mike doesn’t teach children valuable lessons about hard work or team play. No, instead he offers them one simple piece of advice, “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you look when you play the game.” Mike brings that same attitude to the court. Unfortunately, Mike isn't always able to showcase his true talents, as he is always getting injured multiple times each game. Most would attribute all these injuries to him being a bitch, but Mike believes it is his fearless playing style.

Strengths: Great quickness. Loves to take players 1-on-1 and get to the rack. Due to his small stature, Mike has developed a scoop shot that is very hard for defenders to block. Mike is also becoming more effective at finding the open player when the lane gets closed down. Has recently added a 3-point shot to his game which adds another dimension to his game. Still, he prefers to distribute like a true point guard.

Must Improve: Inability to finish layups sometimes ruins the flow of the game for his team. Needs to make those bunnies. Also must improve defensively inside the perimeter.
