Personally my best aspect is my shooting. I've always been a dead eye, but after my knee injury it basically made me lose my driving ability so I've become much more reliant on my J, particularly the 3. The past 4 years I've played in a summer league at my hometown Y. the two years prior to knee injury and rehab I shot 38.6% and 43.1% from deep. Post surgery that number went off the charts 67.7% the first year back (limited games) and then it dropped of a bit to 59% last year. I think a large part of it was as soon as I was on my feet after surgery I was outside on the free throw line and I would put up about 500 depending on how much I could stand. I mean that's all I could do for months.

Pre-knee injury if you would have asked me this question I probably would have just said my motor. I would run all over the court all game just throwing my body around for every loose ball, steal or rebound I could get, probably what led to my knee giving out.

Physical stats:
6'2"
198
ACL,MCL,PCL and meniscus reconstruction.

I'm anxious to hear about your guys' game!

Because of my knees I basically haven't played since middle school.  So.... my best aspect is my ability to sit and watch and enjoy b-ball as part of the audience.
Celtics fan for life.

Shooting, defense, quickness and straight line speed

I am only 5 10 so I am very dissapointed in myself for not developing great handles. I should have been so much better but oh well. I was a PG that could get the ball up and start the offense but I lacked the ability to get wherever I wanted with the dribble. Think Eddie House. I still play quite a bit but I havent played organized ball for a couple of years. I am really missing the competition though!

I think it would be my competitiveness. I never admit someone's better than me, and if someone is better I just use it as a motivation to work on my game even more :)

My ability to take the defender off the dribble and take it to hole.  I'm only 5'7" and can no longer jump high anymore, but I can still somehow finish amongst the trees.  Think a much smaller and slower version of Deron Williams and Tyreke Evans.

Intangbles. :D

Competitiveness / Defense / Good Shot Choice:

Those three things are always good for me. I'm always going all out at the Y, definitely putting in the most effort. I never sit out a game. My defense is good. For somebody who is about 5'8", I get an awful lot of blocks on guys who are 6'+. I actually learned everything I know about blocking from a Rasheed Wallace video I watched on youtube before he joined the Celtics. I get a good amount of steals as well and rarely let guys get by me unless they're quicker than me. and... I never take a bad shot. I never get blocked because I only shoot the ball when I know I have no chance of getting blocked. If there is any chance I could get blocked I pass it.

My shooting is streaky like Eddie House and my passing is streaky like Rondo I guess... sometimes I make a pass too risky and it gets stolen. My speed isn't very good. My stamina isn't very good.

However when I was at the Y a couple of days ago I had everything clicking at the same time. I Never got tired, wasn't missing my shots, wasn't making careless passes, playing good defense. It was a good time.

Defense (help defense is the best facet of my game), and three point shooting. Just like Posey only if he was a foot shorter.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

I'd say my shooting. Not so much because I'm a great shooter, but more because most guys don't expect me to take and hit outside shots since i'm usually one of the taller guys on the court i play at. But eventually people learn not to leave me wide open...
i've gained about 20lbs since last summer, and am currently at 6'4 205.  i'm hoping that'll help me post up and box out better. I'm moving to Worcester shortly, so I need to find a new court to play at.

Defense, period. I'm 6'3" and 200 pounds with about a 6'7" wingspan...I'd like to consider my game more Dikembe Mutumbo, with Hasheem Thabeet Offensively ;D.

ACL,MCL,PCL and meniscus reconstruction.


 :( I can relate, man.. Snowboarding and basketball are two loves of my life, but man they've really taken a toll on my ligaments.

But now, free throw shooting is my game, and spot up three point shooting from the new college line. I shoot over 90 percent from the line, and a good clip from the three.
