Matthew Maurer – 1/25/2007
Weaknesses: While an unselfish player at times, Almond will force passes into the post resulting in most of his turnovers Ball handling remains an issue of concern, while decent he can be uncomfortable when pressure is applied Opposing teams have adopted the philosophy of defending him by being very physical. While he doesnt back down its not unusual for him to need a period of adjustment Must approach the game consistently with toughness and the killer instinct to dominate Defensively Almond would benefit by playing defense with the same intensity that he uses on offense While greatly improved from last year, Almonds jumpshot can go through periods of streakiness Due to his teams personnel there are times where he will force shot out of shear frustration Would benefit greatly by working on his overall quickness and foot speed (plyometrics etc.)
