[glow=red,2,300]Full Name: Derek Kyle Alleman

High School: Live Oak High School[/glow]
Comparisons
Scoring: The best scorer alive, makes Kobe wonder how he ever survived!
Handles: He aint horrid, he can pass, Peje Stojakovic like!
Defense: He can guard the perimeter, is fast, can steal, can you say Allen Iverson-esque.
Rebounding: Can Jump but does not know how to rebound, see NBA rookie Shawne Williams.
Strengths: Well, he can is the up there with the best pure scorers in the league but does lack strength to go inside. He is as fast as they come and his hands are just the same. He will accumulate some steals. He can jump through the roof and is the perfect man to run the floor with. We have not seen him play yet as he plans to sign to day. His range is un measureable and he has the ability on defense to guard the perimeter as well.
Weaknesses: Well, he is not the strongest player in the league and his handles are pretty weak. He has made some flashes of excellence passing the ball but is no where near where he can be. His strength is not the greatest but it is coming along very nicely. He can guard a little bit in the paint and off the dribble but do not look for him to stop many opportunities. He can not rebound the ball at all or block a shot, much less two. Other than that, everything is honestly PERFECT.
Attitude: He is a very good a kid and many should like him. He respects everyone, and always wishes everyone good luck. At times he wants to take over and does not always know when to step back and let others shine. He has never not been in the limelight and would love to go somewhere he has an opportunity to be a main man. Rumors say he is always looking to improve and gives it everything he has at practice as well. He was a 3.8 student in school and his class Treasurer. Many say he had to become good in math to add up all the points he was scoring! He is a natural born leader! There is nothing to hate and all to love about this young man. He does love to talk about his weaknesses as well and listens to coaches and knows how to improve!
Outlook: Well, he spent time taking care of some off-the-court relationships before coming to the league. Okay, to be honest, he got married before joining and that is why he was not here for the Draft. He is looking to sign very soon. Actually I just got a text message saying there is a team talking to him as I write this. I will not give that team out. He will be something special in this league though, I can promise that!
D-Nice modeling before coming to the league!
