Subject: Stout and Dunston
In reply to: Rambacker 's message, "Bethel and Sebastion Greene will be looked to for upgrading our production at the wing, and Bethel will also get his share of rebounds. On Stout, if you watch him carefully, he does more than catch and shoot. He has a jump-stop move with a 6-10 footer that is pretty deadly and can dribble penetrate pretty well but needs to do it more. I might be wrong, but I don't think Dunston will go pro until he graduates unless his outside shooting improves dramatically." on Mon April 18, 2005 10:09:02

Stout certainly is trying to develop a stop-and-pop midrange jumper, but he turned the ball over 102 times, third most in the A-10 behind Steven Smith and Tabby Cunningham of LaSalle. Many of those TO's came on overpenetration, often when Stout was trying to create a closer shot. He was very inefficient.

By contrast, Jermaine Anderson surprised me with his ability, especially as the season progressed, to start hitting long jumpers on the move. He had been a catch-and-shoot kind of player his first two years.

What I really like and about Stout was his post passing. He was the best feeder on the team -- primarly to Dunston of course -- and maybe the best I saw all year in the A-10. Seems his point skills from prep days came in quite handy.

As for Dunston, I think it depends on his actual size. If he is a legit 6-9 or 6-10, he'll be a pro prospect at power forward within a year or two if he progesses as fast as a soph or junior as he did from a high school junior to a college freshman.

If he is more like 6-8, he'll have to extend his jumper or face the same difficult transition as David West. Still, Dunston is developing a nice 10-12 footer from the baseline and has good form. My guess now is that he will stay at Fordham at least three years, but given the rush I am seeing this year by underclassmen to test the waters, it's an open question.

BTW, I assume this Rutgers transfer would not be eligible next season.
