Position: PF
Play Style: Athletic
Secondary Position (optional): SF
College/from: (can be from another country, street baller, semi pro leaguer, amateur tourney player, or anything else you can come up with) Arizona, Utah Valley
Birth Date: (MM-DD, Age since I don't know what year it will be): 9-30, 20 years old
Jersey Number: (list 3 options) 34, 44, 54
Handedness: R
Dunking Hand: R
Experience: (Years in college, years in semi-pro, years on the Amateur Tourneys, etc.) >1 year at Arizona, 3 years at Utah Valley
Personality: (go as in depth as you'd like, but include the choice for the game: Laid Back, Neutral, Expressive, or Unpredictable) Unpredictable, has had issues in past
Play Initiator: (Yes/No) Yes
Bio: (again, as in depth as you'd like) A top prospect coming out of high school, there was a major recruiting battle for him among all of the top schools in the country before he finally settled on Arizona, however, his time at Arizona was, to say the least, troubled. After multiple issues, missed practices, altercations with teammates and academic troubles, he was kicked off the team midway through the season. Only getting three D1 offers after being kicked off the team, from CS-Northridge, UL-Monroe and Utah Valley. He decided on Utah Valley and made an immediate difference for the Wolverines scoring 22 points and averaging 10 boards a game his sophomore season and leading the Wolverines to a WAC championship, losing in Round One of the Tournament to Kentucky. His Junior season, he was even more dominant, scoring 26 and averaging 12 RPG as UVU won a second straight WAC title, this time pulling off an upset in the first round of the tournament over 6-seed Ohio State before falling to- who else?- Arizona in Round 2. It was his senior season where Hinson finally got some help in Orem, with a talented PG in Freshman Cael Dunbar and sharp-shooting SG Ian Fallwell. This led to another WAC championship, a 7-seed in the tournament and a Sweet 16 appearance... against Arizona. Led by Hinson's 28 points and 15 boards, the Wolverines up-ended the Wildcats by 12. After beating Kansas in the Elite 8, UVU finally fell in the Final 4 to NC State. Hinson was a first-team All-American two years in a row, as well as Second-Team his first year with the Wolverines.

I like him, especially since he is tall, and we don't have a lot of tall guys. But, can you alter the bio slightly (like the teams you play) to fit the story I have on page (I believe its) 3. Glad to have another big man though.

I'm not seeing what doesn't fit in, mainly because it's late and that's a lot of text to wrap my head around. Could you point out specifics and make suggestions to fix the continuity? I've edited it some, see if that works.

The Final Four Teams in what would be his senior year would be UNC, Wake Forest, Villanova, and one other team, leaving no room for both you and NCSU in that final four. The Elite 8 had consisted of UNC, WF, Villanova, the 4th final four team, Syracuse, and 3 other teams.

The First team All-American Power Forward in all four years would have been Kurtis Holden.

Switched it to UNC. I was going off of the Brown and Parker bios without reading your response. Also, I believe Kansas would work since the other three teams are ambiguous.

Oh, okay. Yeah Parker and Brown got removed if I remember correctly. Kansas is fine.

On this note, I do believe that they select All-Americans regardless of position, as evidenced by the 2012 All-American team, featuring three forwards and two centers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_NC..._All-Americans

Oh. Well that's silly on the NCAA's part, but the All-American selections are okay then I guess. I mean, I don't think there were 5 players in college better than you junior or senior year so thats fine.

What did you think of the Hammers logos? Which one did you like best?

I like that they do it that way. The best guys should be honored regardless of position in my opinion. In 2012 for instance, there were really no players in my eyes who were better than the five they chose. Green was maybe borderline, but I don't know who would have replaced him... maybe Zeller? Anyhow, that's neither here nor there. By the way, I'm loving the fact that you're attempting to put all of this into a single continuity, that's awesome, definitely an extra mile thing that puts this over the top.

I was a fan of #4. Reminds me a little bit of the old Pittsburgh Maulers logo from the USFL, which I like.

My brain would go nuts if I didn't make it consistent. Because I have to have it make sense for some reason. The whole thing I like to think about this dynasty is really what I'm doing is constructing the basketball world in my image in the future. So to do that, it should all fit together. And since the Dynasty will have continuity, so will the players in the dynasty.

Well I love it. Creates natural rivalries between players, which is cool. Makes for a more interesting read.

Personality: game: Neutral

Play Initiator: (Yes/No) No

Bio: Born in Brooklyn, New York Terry had to deal with being a man at the age of 13. His dad had disappeared when he turned 2. He was known for always having a basketball with him wherever he went. He started playing AAU when he was 3, because his mom lied about his age. When he was 10 years old he was already 6'0, but rail thin. He was already seen on ESPN in the 7th grade because of his dominance in middle school. He was known for not saying much, but still had plenty of friends. When he was in high school he was 6'11. He dominated his four years averaging 33.9 ppg, 22.1 rpg, 4.5 apg, and 7.2 bpg. He became another New York high school phenom. He had lots of scholarship offers starting back to the 8th grade, but ultimately signed with Villanova. When he entered college he was 7'1. He dominated in college each and every game he played, except for the NCAA championship where he was getting no calls from the refs against UNC. The game caused his draft stock to fall off. It game made him never want to play another college game again. He left after 1 year, and moved to the street ball circuit until what would've been his junior season.

Cool center prospect. Nice potential rival to the menacing big man that is Tyrone Marcus. But if you want him to have gone the the NCAA title game and lost, make it so he would have been a junior this past season had he stayed in, lost his freshman year to UNC while with Dre Douglas, and then decided to play street ball since he wanted no part of college ball any more and the bad game and referee interference caused his draft stock to slip to near 0. I'm trying to stick to continuity with all of the prospects.
