| Strengths | The best defender of the two teams combined. Has learned through the years to anticipate what's going to happen on defense and takes advantage of his long reach and high jump to do so. However, he's not just pure defense, he's also capable of going on runs on his own(think 12-0 cholo run) using his sometimes on, sometimes off shooting. Because of his bulked up new frame, Yahoo! Has just given him the power forward position as well thanks in large part to his new moves in the post. | |
| Weaknesses | He needs to be more consistent on the offensive end. One game he goes and gets double figures, the next he barely takes a shot. Like nico, his know your role perspective sometimes prevents him from maximizing his potential. | |

| Strengths | Cholo is the best perimeter defender; no wait, he is the best DEFENDER in Team Bee. Period. But what makes him more of an Andrei Kirilenko than say, Bruce Bowen, is his offensive versatility, which we got a good glimpse of when he EXPLODED for ten points (a pair of threes, a left-handed scoop shot, and a Spider-Man 360 windmill dunk) in a span of less than one minute. | |
| Weaknesses | Defensively, I think the only problem with Cholo, and this is only a minor complaint, is the fact that he always goes for the block, simply so he could shout at his humiliated opponent's face. Offensively, HE JUST HAS TO SHOOT MORE. I know you were Defensive Player of the Year in Talayan, but that doesn't mean you can't fucking shoot. | |
