Scouting Report: Jeff Sabin

PCTI2 Totals:
PPG-10.3
RPG-7.7
APG-1.7

Pro's:

High percentage shooter with a solid perimeter and mid range game. Quality finisher when going right. Addition of bulk and physicality have been incremental to his game. Can shoot it accurately off the dribble. Uses the glass effectively in mid-range game. Improved rebounder that smacks the air out of the ball when cleaning glass. Elite conditioning helps him run the floor and wear down the D. Good handle and passer. Enjoys mixing it up down low. Quickness and physicality compliment his love for defense nicely. Coach on the court. Effective in the post against weaker defensive players. Rarely misses a free throw. Offseason regiman is the best in the business.

Con's:

Still finding his PCTI niche. Despite a solid PCTI2 performance, constantly battled with teammates and did not play to his strengths. Character issues. Post game is strictly based on physicality and a fade away. Obsession with being physical detracts from his biggest strength-Shooting. Angers teammates and the opposition with cries when attacking the basket. Villain ways make the PCTI faithful wonder if he can get along with anyone on the court. Not quite as strong as he thinks just yet.

Overall:

0-2. Underwhelming PCTI1 performance. Controversial PCTI2 performance. Clashes with teammates. Yells at refs. Swung at by Joe Thompson. Despite all the negatives, Sabin earned himself a leadership role moving into PCTI3, and was extremely scrutinized for drafting his guys-A bunch of tough, hard nosed, mean, well conditioned athletes that enjoy hurting people almost as much as they do winning basketball games. Within minutes of the draft, Coach Sabin laid out a clearly defined offseason plan, combined with each players role on the team. Is this type of structure and comraderie what his teams have lacked the last two PCTI's? Sabin has not played anywhere close to his potential, and the first tournament in his hometown should be just what the Dr. ordered. That being said, Sabin has given Breaking Bad more than enough bulletin board material in one offseason. Expect them to come out gunning for him in PCTI3.
