Scroll about 3/4 of the way down. Nice to see him playing well. Hope he keeps it up the rest of the camp and someone grabs him in the 2nd round.</font>

NBA Comparison: Brandon Bass </div> <div class="comment"> Strengths: A warrior. Explosive post player who enjoys contact and has an ornery demeanor … Has the type of nastiness you like to see from an interior player … An excellent defensive player who intimidates opponents with his shot blocking ability … Hits the glass hard and uses his length and leaping ability well to clean the glass … Willing to do the dirty work to help his team win. Fights for position inside the paint ... A fierce dunker, really takes it to the basket hard … Has extended his range some, even shooting some three pointers in his junior season where he saw mild success (6-19)…
Weaknesses: Lacks a true position. Undersized for a power forward and lacks 3 skills. At 6-8, Rhodes' lack of height makes getting shots and grabbing boards on the next level a much greater challenge … Offensive game is limited, and his statistics remained virtually the same from his sophomore to junior seasons … If he wants to be a small forward, he has a lot of skills to develop including his ball handling, passing and outside shot … Adding a more consistent midrange shot is imperative regardless of which position he intends to play on the next level …
Notes: Considered entering the 2007 NBA draft but wisely chose to return for his senior year … Will be a beast as a power forward in Europe if he doesn't find a spot on an NBA roster … </div>

he could jump out of the gym. But I do think that Rhodes had a better mid range jumper than Bass coming out of college.
but he couldn't shoot the J like chuck showed this year. i really think if chuck finds the right team, he'll make a roster. sure, his height isn't ideal for a power forward. but come on, not every team has an ideal power forward. i mean, CHUCK HAYES played significant minutes at power forward for the rockets (and started last year). he's 6'6" on a good day.
chuck has that jumper which will make him a commodity as a power forward. but he'll have to play hard and rebound to be considered as a power forward. i don't think him being 6'8" instead of 6'10" will have THAT much of an impact - i'd be more worried about his attitude/hustle.
