Nice thread idea, TP droopdog7.
My Charley Rosen scouting report:
Solid 1 on 1 defense, harrassing the ball handler, playing him tightly, contesting every shot. Sometimes gambling for the steal, but hustles to get back if the gamble fails. Team defense average. Average athlete, not too strong or long, at 5'9" and 150 lbs. Can be beaten to the rim by stronger and/or faster players, but defends gamely in the post depsite lack of strength. Though only possessing average foot-speed and vertical, has good acceleration and quick reactions, and a nice long first step.
No 3-point range, jumper only extends to about 18 feet, and form is inconsistent. Shoots FTs around 80% though. No real pull-up jumper, or jumper moving off the screen. Likes to drive, mainly to the left. Handles alright, but no dribble moves as such, and a poor right hand renders him unable to drive right with confidence.
Finishing at the rim is average, but has a unique running floater/hook, which his friends refer to with the portmanteau "fl-ook" (fluke)
The shot resembles a sky hook, and he can shoot it from anywhere up to the three-point line (succesful around 4/10 attempts, while 8/10 from the free-throw line). The shot is virtually unblockable, the only way to stop it is to deny the space required to take the step he needs to jump for the shot. Although he has an orthodox hook shot as well (up to 10 ft), he cannot really post up owing to lack of bulk, and it can be blocked fairly easily by taller defenders.
Travels with Charley: (jk!)

Wow. it's kinda sad that I wrote so much while everyone else has a sentence or too
. I guess I'm closest to Rondo, without the passing ability and unselfishness (yes, I'll admit that I am a bit of a chucker
- in fact, my floaters look as if I am actually "chucking" the ball). I'm really a sort of SG in a severely undersized PG's body.
