11/20/2011: Based on their current talent levels, I would say that Danny Alvarez of West Virginia is about right in the middle of the pack as far as the available rookies in the upcoming rookie draft. We have yet to fully discern his potential but he's showing all-star like qualities, definitely a guy fitting in a rebuilding squad like the Raptors or the Cavaliers. His whole game is just about average, a perfect jack of all trades I'd say. His inside game could definitely be better but he has a lot of time to grow and with the low amount of big centers nowadays, his inside game is probably enough to get him a good percentage from the paint we gave it a C. His outsde game is surprisingly a C as well, he's not your primary shooter nor is he Dirk Nowitzki but much like Chris Bosh and Amar'e Stoudamire, he can make three point shots now and then. His perimeter defense means that he can take on guys like Bosh, and Nowitski as well, we rated it a C too, just like his post defense, we hope that it gets better its enough for now, he'll have to get it higher if he wants to stop the big guys in this league from beating him down there. His I.Q. is at C as well, he's smart enough, a good student in University which should translate to his game. His handling is better than most centers at C, much like every other part of his game, don't expect him to make anyone fall nor for him to create enough space to get his own shot but if it means driving in driving that ball down the net then he can do it. His rebounding is pretty good which is what you wanna see in a Center at B and with that potential, he could one day average a double double especially when you consder his B athleticism, he isn't D12 but he's no slouch either, this guy can dunk on you if you slack on him. All in all, he has no definitive weak spot from what we can see, he brings a little bit of everything with his game from points to defense to rebounds. You can't go wrong drafting him, he's one of the safest choices you'll see in the draft.
