I ripped this off of realgm.com, but I figured if anyone wants to see how "athletic" Joe Alexander is...
Here ya go. This is Joe Dunking from the Free Throw line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PKY3ashUMI |

The man has serious hops.
Like I noted before, the guy really elevates on ALL of his jump shots. Not only does that display innate athletic ability, it displays a hard work ethic. It is not easy for a lot of people to "choose" to really elevate on every jump shot. |

Fun to watch and what is most impressive to me is his strength. Someone mentioned he was #2 in the bench press of all rookies. He appears to be a guy that can take on the physical rigors of the NBA.

I hope it works out well for Alexander and obviously the Bucks but things are going to be real different when this guy starts banging around with Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett.

It'll all depend on if he can handle the mental part of the game. You have tons of athletes in the NBA. Lots of guys that can fly. But if you play smart basketball, you can go far. The great players are not great because they have a physical advantage- they are great because they have a mental one.

Well, I am starting to get sold on this pick, including passing over PG.
He looks like a very deliberate player, among the other positives said. |

He is definitely Bucks' People.
Moute is very impressive too. I think the roster is pretty filled out right now. I'd like them to add a 4 and ship out Charlie... I think that will still happen, but if it doesnt... I think Skiles can really get alot out of these guys. He'll definitely break Charlie and Mo over his knee this year if they dont play defense. Which will be interesting to see if their careers can vastly improve because of a coach like this... or if they just become huge team cancers. |

This kid is incredibly quick. Just watching this video, he is lightning off the first step, and if he can take that into the NBA and fine-tune it, he has a great shot at being an elite player. The Bucks have had so precious few "above the rim" players, but this guy is that and a whole lot more. WOW! If he can have an immediate impact off the bench, this team just landed themselves an excellent player. |

There is also a 10 minute Joe Alexander highlight video on youtube that was pretty impressive. The guy can throw down a dunk well enough, mad hops.

If this kid can hit the mid-range jumper consistently, he'll be starting within the 1st half of the season ... barring injury of course.
