The "Perfect" D3 Center Topic

I had a guy at Gallaudet (Naismith) seasons 52-55, Earl Dreiling, who finished at 90+ in ATH, REB, DEF, BLK, and LP.  He had 28 SPD, 1/1/1 PE/BH/P, and was a C- free throw shooter.  STA 82.  You can see his ratings midway through his senior season here.

He was a defensive stud, obviously, including a national DPotY.  But he wasn't an overwhelming offensive force... I could give him enough distro to get him to 22 or so PPG on 55% shooting but his percentage dropped if I ran his distro up too high, and even at the distro where he got to 22 ppg he committed 2+ TO a game.  
also, Dreiling was a beast. evil. evil d3 player. I was at NC State in Naismith at that time, he'd have gotten serious minutes JR year (maybe started) and definitely started SR year.

A team in my conference had a center with 99 ATH, 99 DEF, 99 REB, 95 BLK, 4 SPD, 1 BH, 1 P.  I called him the Stone Golem.

Love the d&d reference.

My minimum is usually more like 25 with exceptions for players who are useful even if they don't develop another point.
