[davedean]

Name: Reggie Theus
Position: SG/PG
Number: 24
DOB: October 13, 1957
College: UNLV
Hometown: Inglewood, California
Height: 6'7
Weight: 190 lbs

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STRENGTHS: Like another player (Magic) in this upcoming draft Theus has the gift of height (for his position) and playmaking abilities.  Theus and Magic are the only 2 players in the History on the NBA to record more than 750 assists in a single season.  Reggie can do a lot more than that though, he is amoung the top when it comes to driving the lane and finishing and/or drawing fouls and given his size advantage Theus is well above average when is comes to cleaning the glass as well.    

WEAKNESSES: With his fondess of driving and passing come the downside of being a little turnover prone which can kill you when trying to make a push laste in the game.  Reggie also has a personality that may cause coaches to go a little mental, one previous coach (after an all-star season mind you) decided to bench Reggie for the first half of the season before the team finally traded him. 

SIGNIFICANT INFO: One of 5 players in history to record 19,000 points and 6,000 assists.  2 time all-star.  36th all time in scoring, 19th all time in assists

STRENGTHS: Despite being 6'7 one of Reggie Theus strengths was his passing ability, over the course of his career Reggie averaged 6.3APG, so he was a unique talent to be able to play either the SG spot or the PG spot for his size causing match problems for the opposition. Reggie was also a very talented scorer, averaging 18.5PPG over his 14 year NBA career with a career high of 23.8PPG in 82/83 season. Reggie's scoring came from attacking the rim and jump shots, he was a very good free throw shooter over the course of his career.

WEAKNESSES: One of Reggie's main weaknesses was his three point shooting, despite a solid jump shot his range never really reached the three point lane so he rarely shot them but when he did he made a soild percent of them. He could be a little turnover prone nothing serious though given his role. Given his size for the SG/PG positions you thought he may of grabbed a few more rebounds rarely averaging over 3.5RPG in a single season.

SIGNIFICANT INFO: Theus is one of only two players in league history listed at 6 ft 6 or taller to tally more than 750 assists in an NBA season (788 in 1985–86). 2 Time All Star, 19,015 Career Points (49th All Time), 6,453 career assists (23rd All Time). Star of the hit tv show Hang Time.
