This is a look at some of the horrible players drafted in the 1991 NBA Draft and what they could look like in UOSLR with some fun exaggerated ratings. Some of these players will be very different then their NBA counterparts, here is a look at some possibilities....
Stanley Roberts C 7-0 285 LSU
Potential Draft Ratings...
B- D+ D+ B- B- C
but after a couple of surprising TCs....
A- C- C- A- A- C
Stanley Roberts was huge at LSU before Shaq. Not because he was good, but just because he was huge. Any 7-0 285 player automatically gets drafted higher then they should, and that was the case here with Roberts. He was horrible after a couple of solid NBA seasons. Mostly because his weight got out of control. In UOSLR he could become the surprise of the draft and a legit Franchise center!
Rick Fox SF 6-7 230 North Carolina
Potential Draft Ratings...
C+ C+ C B C B
but after a couple of surprising TCs....
B B C+ A- C+ C
Rick Fox was a career role player. He played his part well, always taking smart shots and playing solid defense. In a alternate universe Fox could have been more. He could have been someone that forced his shot a little more, and took a little more control. I mean damn, he married Vanessa Williams, he must have been doing something right.
Ike Austin C 6-10 255 Arizona State
Potential Draft Ratings...
B- C- C- C+ C+ B
but after a couple of surprising TCs....
B+ C C B+ B C
Ike Austin was actually a pretty desired post score for a small time in his career. He peaked suddenly and for a very short amount of time. In UOSLR that peak could last his whole career. Austin has nice size, and if he could have focused more on scoring the rock in the post, maybe he could be a 18 point per game career scorer.
Randy Brown PG 6-2 190 New Mexico State
Potential Draft Ratings...
C C C+ B C B
but after a couple of surprising TCs....
C+ B- B+ A C C
Randy Brown was a career backup in the NBA, but he could do one thing well, defend. If given just the right amount of steroids Brown could have become a lock down defender with enough ball handling and offense to be a starter. Randy Brown All Defensive Team? In UOSLR anything can happen!
Mark Macon SG 6-4 185 Temple
Potential Draft Ratings...
C+ B- C B+ C C
but after a couple of surprising TCs....
B A- C+ A C+ C
Mark Macon was a great player in college. Playing along side Eddie Jones and Aaron McKie, Temple was formidable. Macon is the only four-time first-team All-A-10 player in league history. Unfortunately for Macon he couldn't shoot. Fortunately for everyone in UOSLR, that doesn't matter. If you cant shoot in the NBA, no biggie, we'll just make you better. Macon had the college pedigree to become a star in the NBA. that didn't work, so maybe he'll be a star here!
