First name: Adrian, Nickname: Ace
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outlook:
One of the most accomplished American players ever in Asian basketball. Would have been long-time NBA player if it weren't for a serious knee injury. Won Championship in several Asian Countries. Very unselfish player who makes right choices, takes good shots and scores with a good percentage. Good athlete and more than an excellent rebounder for a player of his size and position. Can play the 3 and the 4 and will post up his defender on the baseline and score on him with a nice turnaround jump shoot and shoot the three. Seems not to miss any shoot from 15 feet. A very unselfish player who works hard on defense. Is a very quick leaper and an excellent offensive rebounder.
