Frank Otis aka Mook

[LA_Mustang]

Looks like Mook can attack the rim and has some hops....Rivals has him as a SF, but looks more like a SG to me. Also, the kid's got to be tough coming out of Oakland.

Not going to watch the video at work, but from what I understand about Otis, he is more of an undersized 4 at the next level, than anything. Not saying he can't be a decent 3, but I don't think he's got the range on his jumper to be a 2.

Not bad, definitely has some ups. Yes, the 3 is probably where he might be.

just from searching stories on him I don't think he's much of a shooter. Isn't he the one that is below .50% from the free throw line-think he is more of a hustler, rebounder and junk ball guy around the basket from what I've read. He is a big time rebounder at the high school level. Similiar to the game Willie Davis was best at when he wasn't jacking up 3s at .25%. You need those guys though.

[Stallion]

Both he and his team are playing well. Here's blurb I've found and I've noticed he's scored 21, 17 and 21 in recent games which is above his average in a generally low scoring team. Also now ranked No. 2 in California by a Rivals site.


Ranked No. 1 in the Bay Area by The Chronicle and No. 22 nationally by USA Today, McClymonds (24-0, 7-0 OAL) has beaten four ranked opponents in its last five games: No. 4 De La Salle on Jan. 21, No. 16 Fremont in overtime on Jan. 30, No. 17 Skyline on Feb. 1, and now No. 11 Oakland (18-7, 5-2).

here's some stats as of 2/05 which doesn't include some recent good games-note the Free Throw percentage of 48%.

Stallion, I would like to introduce you to my friend TinyURL:

A lot better than your useless posts bud.

Did someone say useless post?

[LA_Mustang]

Looking at his stats, he’s a monster on the boards.....but as Stallion mentioned, he is atrocious at the line. That is a problem....but correctable with time in the gym. It looks like his shooting kept him from being a Pac-10 recruit. Definitely an interesting prospect. We need the athleticism

Shaq is proof FTs don't really matter.

Then again, they did invent the hack-a-shaq for that reason

[LA_Mustang]

If Otis was 7'2" and 330, it would be a little easier to overlook the sub 50% FT shooting.

[StangEsq]

His FT shooting does appear to have improved later in the year. Lots of turnovers tho. Maybe the double-crossover reverse spin move doesn't work every time.

[Treadway21]

Look what they did with Fall on his FTs. He went from 60% FT% to 74% this year. I imagine they can work on him to get that up. The team FT% has really improved in the conference games. On the radio, Rich said they attributed it to the Crum Center with more baskets for the guys to practice.
