Flame me if untrue but I'm Facebook friends with a dude that played for my alma mater (Duquesne). He's claiming he signed a contract with us and will report to training camp soon. About Damian: Damian Saunders Position: Small Forward Age: 23 Birth date: Nov 1, 1988 Birthplace: Waterbury, CT 6'7", 210 lbs 8-9 reach, 7-0 wingspan Player Evaluation Projection Second Round Pick/Undrafted Positives * Long, athletic forward * Great motor * Explosive leaper * Excellent rebounder * Terrific shot block * Collects an unusually high number of steals * Very good quickness for his size Negatives * Needs to add strength * Needs more consistency on his jump shot * Is he a power forward in a small forward's body? http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft/results/players/_/id/19485/damian-saunders My take: he's a bit of a 3/4 tweener. Very athletic. Played a lot of center due to necessity. Top-notch shot blocker and steal collector. Good rebounder/motor. Needs to add upper body strength (very thin and lanky). Has some post moves but needs to work on refinement as well as developing his jumper.
Doesn't matter cause he's just another person for our team to practice with. Won't make the team unless there's a trade to free up space.
