and physical development, "growing into your body" and maturing are more and more important the bigger you are.

also it is sometimes to judge big men bc they have to wait for the game to come to them. big mens game dont evolve around them being able to create. they have to have a good entry pass and set up and can easily be doubled/tripled down. this is why the more athletic kids then to float on the arc becuase they are atheletic that they can create in space rather than making the game come to them. average and even decent coaches have a hard time making their big guys stay down low and brining the game to them. this is why you see development in guys with great gaurd play a la oden. with conley and co oden is able to let the game come to him in a set and not go get the ball, thus he is able to develop his inside game.

I have had the chance to see Lauderdale play a couple times, and let it be known Lauderdale still can improve his game, but he is not just a "raw" basketball player. I agree with the prior post about him developing his offensive game, but your post are almost making him sound like he is a raw prospect and nothing more. The games I saw of him last year, you would have never believed he was a sophomore. In the regional semi-finals against Toledo Scott at Savage Hall, Lauderdale went for 24 points on 10-11 shooting, pulled down 11 rebounds and blocked seven shots. A lot of Dallas's points did come from dunks throughout the year, but he did have a decent jumper from the foul line and in.

I don't mean to make him sound 'raw' at all, only saying that it is rare to see a big man arrive in college with a complete game. Even with HS lottery picks to the NBA you will see guards and small forwards make an immediate impact while centers sit the bench for a year or two.

I am supremely confident in the potential of all of the kids Matta is offering in the 'out years'. He has no reason to offer these kids early unless they are the real deal.

Ohio’s Best Boys Basketball Players
Buckeye state boasts more talent than ever before

By Steve Helwagen

Over the course of the summer, Ohio’s best boys basketball players showed their stuff in various AAU and summer camp events from coast to coast.
These events helped Ohio’s best players earn reputations as the nation’s very best. The national rankings supplied by ScoutHoops.com are dotted with players from Ohio.

Five of the current seniors are in the national top 100, led by Dayton Dunbar’s Daequan Cook at No. 16. Even better is the Class of 2007, where seven Ohio prospects are listed among the top 50. That group is led by the North College Hill duo of O.J. Mayo and Bill Walker, ranked first and fourth nationally, respectively.

The sophomore class in Ohio also boasts two of the nation’s top 15 prospects, including Cincinnati Hughes’ Yancey Gates at No. 5.

“You would be hard pressed to go back and find three years consecutively where there is this type of talent in the state of Ohio,” said HoopScoopOnline.com Ohio editor Chris Johnson. “And there is not only talent but also some size. In that sophomore class, there are four or five really good players who are already 6-8 or taller.”

The Ohio talent quotient would be even better if Herb Pope, a 6-8 forward considered a top-10 national junior, had followed through with his stated plan to transfer to a school in Ohio. Instead, he began the new school year at his old school in Aliquippa, Pa.

With the summer camp and AAU season over, Johnson has reassessed his lists of Ohio’s top prospects and updated them. The following is a look at the top prospects in each class in Ohio high school boys basketball, as rated by Johnson.

Juniors-To-Be (Class of 2007)

Quote:
* 5. Dallas Lauderdale, 6-9, center, Solon (SH, 48<SUP>th</SUP>; HSO, 64th) – Lauderdale averaged 17.5 points, 13 and 4.8 blocks rebounds per game. Lauderdale already has offers from OSU and Syracuse.

“It is pretty much Ohio State and Syracuse,” Johnson said.

“He has tremendously long arms and is a great rebounder and shot blocker. His offense has still not improved that much. A key for him will be his offensive ability, both passing and shooting the ball.”

Solon is getting some pub in the national rankings, largely due to Lauderdale in my opinion....

I seen Dallas Lauderdale play this weekend in a scrimmage against Harding and Canton McKinley. He very impressive even though his team got manhandled by Harding and McKinley. He is the real deal and his arms are so long that he hardly even jump when he dunks. He is about 6'10 and can rebound real good. But the thing is that Solon seems to not give him the ball enough down low and have him on the outside alot.

Opposite attraction

Dallas Lauderdale brings an intensity to the Comets that is in direct contrast to his off-court disposition
Thursday, December 01, 2005 Eddie Dwyer
Plain Dealer Reporter
Taking a short break from last week’s preseason workouts, Solon High’s Dallas Lauderdale sat on a bench in the Comets’ locker room and talked about the two sides to his personality — the one that comes to life on the basketball court and the other that balances his everyday existence.
“Dallas Lauderdale the athlete and Dallas Lauderdale the person are two totally different people,” said the 6-9, 235-pound all-state junior post player who is being recruited by several major-college programs, including North Carolina, Syracuse and Ohio State.
“Dallas Lauderdale the athlete, to sum it all up in two words, is no mercy. If you’re my opponent, we can be friends off the court. But on the court, you’re my enemy. I’m not just saying that. On the court, I’m going to try to get after you because I just want to win. If I score two points, as long as we win, I’m happy.
“Dallas Lauderdale the person? Fun. That’s all I’m about, having fun.”
Although too humble to say so, there is much more to Lauderdale, including that part of his personality that enables him to put in perspective the attention he is receiving because of his size, strength and skills.
The son of a minister, he is, in so many ways, mature beyond his 17 years.

Family and faith

One only has to be around Lauderdale a short time to realize how much his family means to him and the role his faith plays both within the family structure and in his development as a student-athlete.
His mom, Carol, has been a close friend for years.
“People usually call me a mama’s boy,” said Lauderdale, laughing.
“When I’m not playing basketball, I’m just doing something with my mom, whether it’s just chilling with her, watching TV together with her, reading with her. Really, that’s what I do in my spare time.
“Occasionally, I will play a couple of video games with my sister or play around with my dad. When I’m not playing basketball, I’m with my family. I really don’t have a life outside of that. I just try to keep my head on straight.”
The Lauderdale family bond came to the fore a few years back, around the time Carol was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
“We all work through it together, as a family. It’s a team effort,” Lauderdale said.
The calm and courage that accompanied his words stems from a faith Lauderdale describes as undaunted.
His resolution in life and on the court is created by his faith, he says.
“Us as humans, we tend to try to do things on our own,” Lauderdale said. “Usually when we do that, we do not succeed. So we just need to look to a higher power. In my car, I have tapes of my dad’s that are spiritual and affirming, they remind me to say (a prayer) every morning.”

Honing his skills

Although his size and strength are obvious, Lauderdale realizes his game needs year-round attention.
He continues to develop during the summer as a member of the Cleveland Titans AAU team, a squad that includes such other area standouts as Villa Angela-St. Joseph’s David Lighty and Bedford’s Jason Thompson. The team is coached by Tim Hewitt, the father of Lauderdale’s Solon teammate, Patrick Hewitt.
“I try to work on my perimeter game, my outside shooting, my dribbling,” said Lauderdale, who last year averaged 19 points, 13 rebounds and 3.5 blocks. “Also, I can’t get carried away too much with my post game, because that’s not picture-perfect yet. Really [I work on] all aspects of the game, with a lot of stress on the perimeter game.”
Lauderdale is fortunate to have an uncle, Jim Chones, who was a solid NBA player. Chones not only excelled for the Cavaliers, but also was a key member of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 1979-80 championship team that featured a rookie named Earvin “Magic” Johnson.
Chones works with Lauderdale nearly every weekend.
“When I’m working with him, the emphasis is on my perimeter game, shooting, dribbling, going coast-to-coast and stuff like that,” Lauderdale said.

Where he stands

“Dallas is obviously a great physical talent, he has worked very, very hard to improve his game,” Comets coach Todd Van Reeth said. “But we need him to step up this year.
“He needs to understand the game if he really wants to take that step and become an elite player. It’s easy for him, with his dominant physical ability, to rely on some other things. But he has to do the little things, just like everybody else.”
Steve Valentino, Solon’s all-district senior point guard, said Lauderdale’s work ethic is one of the strongest traits “Big D” brings to the team.
“People probably doubt it, because he’s a big name and a college recruit, so he must be lazy in practice,” Valentino said. “But he’s the first one that will come to you and help you with what you are doing, and is the first one to accept any criticism that will make him better.
“Dallas knows he is not as good as he can be. But he has improved every year since his freshman year. It’s surprising, it still seems like he is growing into his body. So as soon as he gets a full grasp on that, I think he’s going to be something really special.”

The recruiting process

Lauderdale is one of the most coveted juniors in the nation. As is the case with most of the challenges and tough decisions in his young life, he has turned to his family.
“My parents are helping me get through the recruiting process,” said Lauderdale, who emphasized he would like to make a college commitment at the end of his junior season. “I get all of these letters mailed to my house, and I just give them to my dad. He organizes them and everything. So really, it hasn’t been hectic.”
A father’s tribute

Playing an integral part in his son’s future is something the minister for Mt. Hermon Baptist Church in Cleveland considers more of a privilege than a duty.
“If I could say anything about this son of mine, it is how much he cares about people,” Dallas Lauderdale Sr. said. “Dallas is always being pulled in a number of different directions. People want him to come and to say and to do things, and he is always trying to compromise so that he doesn’t hurt anybody’s feelings.
“He is always trying to mediate in differences, and is very, very sensitive to how people feel.”
Except when “Big D” meets them on the basketball court, of course.

Getting to know Dallas Lauderdale


Thursday, December 01, 2005


School:
Solon.

Sport:
Basketball.

Year:
Junior.

Age:
17.

Height:
6-9.

Weight:
235.

Family:
Mom, Carol; Dad, Dallas; Sister, Tahja, 22, attends Bowling Green State University.

Notable:
Lauderdale garnered Division I first-team All-Ohio honors last season, was the big-school Player of the Year in the Northeast Lakes District and a Plain Dealer All-Star selection. His averages last season of 19 points, 13 rebounds and 3.5 blocks helped the Comets to a 25-1 record, an Elite Eight finish and the school’s first Plain Dealer poll championship in boys basketball.

Summer vacation highlight:
Lauderdale had the opportunity to play on Duke University’s main floor and also at North Carolina’s practice gym while competing for the Cleveland Titans AAU team.

Looking back and ahead:
“Last season has made this season more humbling, knowing that an entire season can be depicted by one play,” Lauderdale said, referring to the 53-52 loss to Mansfield Senior in the regional finals, a loss that came on a 23-foot 3-point shot in the final six seconds.

His recruiting list:
North Carolina, Syracuse, Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, Illinois and Louisville are among his college preferences.
Friendly influence:
Villa Angela-St. Joseph standout and Ohio State recruit David Lighty, Lauderdale’s good friend and summer teammate, always makes a pitch for Ohio State when the two get together. Lighty was ending every conversation with Lauderdale by saying: “Is it the O (Ohio State)?” So now, Lauderdale tries to beat Lighty to the punch by saying the same thing. “That’s my boy, he’s like my little brother,” Lauderdale said. “Yeah, we have fun with that.”
