|
| Ball Skills: Able to handle the ball either hand in transition and in the half court set. Can handle the ball effectively enough to play the point. |
|
| Offense: Possesses definite three point range and consistency. Must look to shoot more and not be too passive. Can create his own shot and get to the basket, but most work on finishing more consistently around the rim. Good court judgment allows him to be an effective scorer and play maker when on the floor. |
|
| Rebounding: Very good timing and positioning on both ends of the floor – especially at the guard position. |
|
| Defense: Excellent on the ball defense. Can be a defensive stopper when needed. Stays with his man away from the ball and denies. Excellent defensive footwork and footspeed allow him to gamble from time to time and come away with forcing turnovers. |

|
| Strengths: Physical condition, court judgment and court vision, three point consistency, ability to create his own shot. |

| Opportunities for Improvement: Needs to be more assertive and look to score more. Must finish more consistently around the rim. |
|
| Overall Comments: Michael is a very coachable player. He is a team leader and can really score from anywhere on the floor. However, Michael must work on not disappearing at times when on the floor and use his abilities (outside shooting, getting to the rim) to his team’s benefits. Michael is ready to contribute to a lower to mid level pro team. |
