Not sure WHERE this came from but some random scouting reports from some 90s players. I think they were done by coaches? Not sure. Some good reads though. Funny comments about Donny Marshall

http://www.ibiblio.org/craig/draft/1995_draft/scout/sf.html#Marshall

1. Jerry Stackhouse - North Carolina
2. Ed O'Bannon - UCLA
3. Gary Trent - Ohio
4. James Forest - Georgia Tech
5. Sherell Ford - Illinois-Chicago
6. Lou Roe - Massachusetts
7. Eric Williams - Providence
8. Donny Marshall - Connecticut
9. Jarvis Lang - UNC-Charlotte
10. Petey Sessoms - Old Dominion
11. Chris Carr - Southern Illinois
14. Ray Jackson - Michigan

Poop:

Jerry is one of those special players that are a joy to watch. He is
one of the hardest working players that I've ever seen, watch him without
the ball and you will see constant motion. Stackhouse came in to the
program as the next Jordan, although he did not lead UNC to a title like
Jordan, he certainly did not disappoint.

Offensively, Stackhouse is great at driving to the basket, either finishing
or drawing a foul (he gets to the line a *ton*). He has really worked
hard at improving his range (from 2 for 20 to 37 for 90). He has a real
nice looking shot, however it is still a little flat and takes to long to
get off (not a real quick release). Still it got better as the year went
on and I expect him to have a great outside shot before his career is
done. Stackhouse turns the ball over way to much and will need a much
better dribble to be a NBA guard. Stackhouse is a *great* offensive
rebounder.

Defensively, Stackhouse needs a lot of work. He tends to overplay the
steal and leaves his man to much. However, he wants to be know as a
complete player and worked hard at this. Stackhouse was also hurt a
bit by playing PF this year after Sullivan went down with an injury.
He was forced to play close to the basket against bigger people. This
will cost him a bit in the NBA where he will play smaller/quicker players.
Stackhouse is a *great* defensive rebounder.

Stackhouse will be a top 5 pick. He is a very hard worker who wants to
be great, and will do whatever is necessary to achieve that. He also
wants to win and his play at the end of games was great. I would bet
his turnovers where much lower in the final 5 minutes. Stackhouse is
one of my favorite players ever at UNC, I'm just sorry that we did not
get to see him longer.

One of the best did it by myself championship runs in history.

 

[antidope]

We talked about this a while ago but this and and Dirk are really the top two "I did it by myself" chips.

 

[freeze]

This is just pathetic. He did exactly what nters were are doing a couple years ago every season making multiple accounts to agree with and repping their own posts

fixed.

Stack 5 was a baller tho

Would have like to have read Kurt Thomas's. He was beast.

Maybe it's my bias but Hakeem's 93 run has to be tops.

I need to find more of these man..........

Poop:

In addition to his stats,he has brought great leadership to the team
and has often served as its "quarterback" in critical situations.His
intensity sometimes overflows in anger,and he is occasionally
absent-minded,but he can shoot well from outside,drive to the hoop,and
his 3-point abilities are improving.I thinkhe can be a real asset to
some benighted NBA team!

Scout: Art Waldman

More Poop:
His shot selection has been questionable, to say the least, in that he
made himself the offensive leader of a team on which he was _clearly_
not the best offensive player. He particularly has a bad habit of
shooting _any_ open 3-ptr, despite an atrocious percentage --
apparently not understanding that the reason he's open so much is that
the opposition _wants_ him to shoot.

At the same time, Donny's in the mold of John Starks -- you wouldn't
want him to be thinking too much on the court, because it would take
away from his best qualities, which are his aggressiveness and will to
excel. I never would have thought he could be among the conference
scoring leaders, but this year he was. He also vastly improved as a
rebounder when we needed him. Of especial note is his fine free-throw
shooting; although not a reliable jump-shooter, he has a knack at the
charity stripe.

Donny is very good at cherry-picking; that sounds derisive, and yet he
finds a way to outlet consistently and still have a presence on the
boards. He must have scored six or eight points a game by breaking
downcourt. He has a good courtsense and generally is in the right
place at the right time. Of course, as that last stat suggests, his
half-court offense is not as impressive as his gaudy scoring totals
might lead one to believe.

As his height and weight suggest, Donny has an NBA small-forward
body. The question now is, can he dribble and shoot well enough? I
also wonder whether he can accept being a role player, which he
clearly will be at the next level, or whether he will continue trying
to force his offense beyond his abilities. For all the fun he's been
to watch, I would not want my NBA team to take too much of a chance on
Donny Marshall.

KD just trolling now with those comments

would put wade performance in there, but d-whistles from the refs

Not getting into an argument over it but Tim Duncan is clearly better than Kobe, but perimeter bias reigns supreme when it comes to player evaluations

Pointless debate.

Like asking what is better, steak or cheesecake.
