| Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, Day Four (part two)
April 9, 2007
Alexander really bucked the “selfish” label during his three PIT games, proving that the right team chemistry can drastically alter the nature of a player’s game. Alexander was the third cog in the well-oiled Holiday Inn team that won the PIT tournament championship. Alexander fell into a rhythm with teammates DeShaun Wood and Russell Carter, appearing as if the three had played together for years instead of mere days.
Alexander was more of an offensive facilitator in game three than a big time scorer, but he moved the ball exceptionally well, played sound team defense, pushed the tempo in transition, and generally made the plays that needed to be made in order for his team to win. In the process, he displayed good shot selection and communication skills throughout.
Alexander has nice athleticism and size, though he isn’t particularly tall or long for his position. His ball handling isn’t good enough to create his own shot when tightly guarded in half court sets, but his perimeter shooting and off-ball movement make him a threat to score coming off curls or camping out behind the three point line.
Alexander is certainly a rhythm shooter. When he tried jab-stepping on the perimeter to free up his shot, he lost a substantial amount of accuracy in the process. But, with a live dribble or when moving into the shot Alexander looks very comfortable taking shots from all over the court.
Defensively, Alexander showed good footwork and a dedication to playing his man tough. He looked to be inspired by his team’s pace and chemistry and this translated to both sides of the court. It’ll be interesting to see if this type of play on both sides of the court continues in other settings, but here it was evident that the ability to do so is there.
Alexander doesn’t have the overall package that teammate Russell Carter possesses, but he has good overall ability and definitely drew some attention from some scouts here, be it domestic or abroad. He’s got the potential to be a solid pro player for a competitive team somewhere for sure if he can continue to harness his game and blend with teammates the way he did in Portsmouth.

Portsmouth Invitational Tournament: Day One
April 5, 2007
De’Angelo Alexander had a strong showing to start off the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, playing within himself and off the extremely strong play of point guard Dashaun Wood to the tune of 25 points, including five NBA three-pointers on the game. Pretty much all of Alexander’s points on the game were scored in one of two ways. Aside from the five spot-up three-pointers, the rest of Alexander’s points came on lay-ups either in transitions or off cuts. Alexander only got into trouble on the game when he tried to create his own offense, pulling up for shots from deep when he didn’t have his feet completely set, as he did on all the spot-up opportunities created by teammate Dashaun Wood.
Alexander possesses a strong frame for his size and he possesses pretty good athleticism as well. He showed these qualities off on the defensive end by playing in-your-face defense and keeping his man in front of him on most possessions. He made a steal defending his man on one occasion that he took the length of the court to convert for a transition lay-up. Alexander could have an outside shot of making the NBA as a role player, though he would do himself well to continue playing within himself, showing off his outside shooting stroke and more strong, aggressive defense.
