 | Rafer Alston(#11)Height: 6-2 Weight: 171 lbs. Position: Point Guard Born: July 24, 1976 in New York, New York Age Drafted: 23 College: California State University, Fresno Source: Basketball Reference |
Strengths
Sick ball handler and a creative passer. Was a legend in street-ball before becoming a serviceable point guard in the NBA. If there's one thing he's known for it's his street-ball style dribbling and crossovers. Averaged 6 assists per 36 minutes over his career. Like most street-ballers, his shot was very raw - however he did improve throughout his career and could be relied upon to hit big shots. He was always looking to steal the ball on defence and averaged 1.5 steals per 36 minutes over his career.
Weaknesses
Rafer's shooting ability was his biggest weakness. Shot just 38% from the field and 35% from three on his career (fell in love the with 3pt shot during his career even though he wasn't great). Not a great FT shooter for his position (73% on his career). Was not rebounding guard, averaging just 2.8 rebounds per game on his career. Wasn't a terrible defender against other average point guards, but would get beat regularly by the great PGs of the game.
Notes
Known on the streets as Skip to my Lou. One of the only street-ball style PGs to become a productive NBA player.
