Sham's unnecessarily great big draft board: Centres

21st June 2011

Alex Stepheson - Stepheson can't catch, rarely creates in the post, has a rough touch around the basket, can't dribble or make a foul shot, struggles to defend outside of the post, and is all strength with not a dollop of finesse.

That said, Chris Richard made it to the NBA on multiple occasions on this basis.

An Unnecessarily Exhaustive Guide To The 2010/11 NCAA Tournament, Part 1: Southwestern Region

15th March 2011

Alongside him, UNC transfer Alex Stepheson - more than slightly reminiscent of his namesake, Alex Oriakhi - is a horse inside. Stepheson is tall, wide,and rather immovable, nailing himself to the post on both ends and proving to be a daunting interior defensive presence. He's also a good rebounder, good athlete for his size, and a decent interior finisher. On the flip side, Stepheson hasn't ever really developed offensively; he is clumsy, with bad hands, no J, a bad free throw stroke, no handle, no passing game, and little ability to create in there other than to use strength alone. But he does provide an anchor for the USC defense, much like Gary McGhee does for Pittsburgh. And he does so wihtout fouling.
