| Peterson, Jamine | Providence | 6'6" | 239 | SG | Jr. | Jamine Peterson is a talent that could be a "top-five, at his position", type guy. He is explosive - with a 37.5" vertical and he attacks the basket at all times. He is a tremendous offensive rebounder that can remind you of J.R. Rider or Jason Richardson. he uses either hand well to finish at or above the rim. ...Peterson played in Greece and in the D-League this season after spending his sophomore year at Providence. He was the Friars leading scorer and an Honorable Mention All-Big East performer. He was dismissed from the team for a rules violation in May of 2010. It turns out that Peterson helped to arrange sexual favors for an incoming recruit. ...This season in the D-League - Peterson was named Performer of the Week for games played during the week of March 21.

He just posts some "tweets" that would I'm certain many would find offensive. ...If a team has really done their homework and they feel that he won't be a future distraction - they should really think about pulling the trigger on this kid. His talent is too good to pass up. He has more talent, in my opinion, than many who are receiving playing time in the league. |
