Strengths: Ramos has become a true prospect. His improvement from 2003 to 2004 has simply been amazing. Has a nice post up game showing a decent arsenal that includes a jump hook and a step away shot. He can also hit the outside shots and more importantly, Ramos looks to be more comfortable both on and off the court. He's showing leadership skills with his Pro Team (Criollos de Caguas) in the Puerto Rican Summer League. (considered the best league in Latin America) Ramos is also a good passer and is able to find the open man when receiving a double team. Considering that he is only 18, his body is filling out and he will eventually add at least 25 more pounds. Ramos is an athletic center for his height and is able to run up and down the court without any problem. Stamina is excellent. Has very good potential.


The man is 7"3 and 300 lbs, and he moves like a cat.


Other observations from Day One:
# 7-3 Peter Ramos does carioca drills with the fluidity of a man a foot shorter.


Go google carioca if you know what it means.

Ramos is a prospect, and will be a productive player in the future when he learns how to play defense.

Right now, Ramos is a complete offensive player, he has al the tools and talent.
You don't mention your source with your list of strengths, but my assessment is what I saw for myself. That blurb doesn't say anything about quickness, which he sorely lacks. His good behavior on his regular team does not excuse the way he acted while on the national team, where he pouted whenever coach Toro sat him on the bench.
