Born: May 29, 1982 in Los Angeles, Calif
Full Name: Romel Roberto Beck Castro
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outlook:
A promising player with great offensive skills, who runs the court well and can easily hit a 3 pointer. He is the typical streak shooter, who can win a game by himself the night he' s hot. But not all the nights he's so good. And, despite his height, he's more a SG than a SF, and tends to be too discontinous, even during the same game. Has great upside, but he is maybe yet too green for the top European leagues. Also, he needs to improve his defensive skills.
