Jerrell Stapleton
6'8 240 lbs
SF/PF
Cincinnati
21 years old
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Great glue guy. If he could every develop his offensive repertoire, scouts say he could develop into a Karron Johnson type player. Regardless, if he can stay out of trouble, there's a place for this guy in the league. His versatility on defense alone should always keep him on a BBS roster.

6'8 240 lbs
SF/PF
Cincinnati
21 years old
Strengths:
- Has a nose for the basketball and has a knack for making big plays. Does the little things like diving for loose balls, forcing jump balls, tipping offensive rebounders to teammates.
- Great on the offensive glass. Uses brute strength to outmuscle defenders.
- 240 lbs. of muscle. Very strong. Benched 225 thirty-two times. Could be one of the 10 strongest players in the league as a rookie.
- Great athlete. Will take off from just in front of the free throw line for a put-back dunk.
- Above average shotblocker and stealer. Ryan Jackson lite? Should average 1-1.5 blocks and 1.5-2.0 at the BBS level.
- In college, always guarded the other teams best player. Didn't matter whether it was a guard or big. Very versatile defender. Quick feet allows him to stay in front of quicker players and strength allows him to maintain his position on the block against big men.
- Very hard worker. He'll give it his all for 40 minutes. Works his butt of in practice. Very well-conditioned as well. Doesn't get winded. Has never missed a game to injury and rarely comes out of the game for long stretches.
Weaknesses:
- No post moves whatsoever. Doesn't have much touch around the rim. Mid-range shot needs work. 60 FT% in college.
- Classic tweener? Scouts worry at which position he'll fit at in the pro game.
- Has a rap sheet that includes a DUI and domestic assault. Scouts could be turned off by that.
