Scouting players - let's start something here

[forum troll]

If there are no objections we can start with the template that I posted above.

Name:
Date of birth:
Height:
Weight:
Nationality (-ies):
Best position:
Other positions:
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Potential (is he likely to improve and how much?):
Overall level (local, Eurocup, Euroleague etc.):

Let's see how it goes. If we decide to make some changes, we can always edit previous reports.

Once we have enough reports in this thread, a whole new section on the main site can be created and all of the reports will be posted there as well.

I think it's a good start. What about something though like for example "intangibles". I mean I can say well Georgios Diamantopoulos "elite level scoring talent, can score at will if he wants, etc."

But that does not account for also being a lazy and careless player as well. Some players have poor attitude. Some guys are team players, some guys have heart, some are smart, some are stupid. Some guys are winners, some are losers.

Some guys don't like to follow coaches orders, etc. I think something like "intangibles" section also should be there. How do you write up a prime Saras for example? Physically poor and skill wise not the best either. But just more intense and smarter than everyone else.

But you can't really describe that when you just talk about weaknesses and strengths in the playing ability.
