The King
|
||
| Strengths | Tremendous speed and mad hops. A highlight reel finisher on the break. Has slowly mastered the short range shot and has learned when to pull up and when to take it strong. Has a decent stroke from downtown. If only he can control himself, has the potential to be one of the stars of the league with his speed and athleticism. | |
| Weaknesses | Once he goes turbo, he can�t find the brakes. Often erratic and hesitant on occasion. Gets over eager to finish the alley-oop pass. Has bad timing when it comes to those things actually. Questionable at times on the break. Needs to work on his other hand so that he doesn�t get jammed up. | |

| Strengths | I initially wrote Fred Jones above, but the more I think about it, the more I feel Carlo is more Davis-ish than Jones-ish. Ricky is the one that took a shot at the opponent�s basket to get an offensive rebound and a triple-double while Fred Jones is the guy that won the 2004 Slam Dunk Contest so there. Carlo can�t do anything but tap the fucking board anyway. Hindi nga masalo mga alley-oop ko eh! So in summary, Carlo is fast, athletic, and� that�s about it. | |
| Weaknesses | Carlo and his crazy kamikaze attack are not always effective. Sometimes, he turns the ball over or loses control of his body or maybe even both. Oftentimes, he hurts himself to my amusement. So to summarize, Carlo needs body control, mental toughness and maturity. | |
