Team Owner Marsha Blount; Dexter is a work-horse on the boards, who we know should be an ALL Star for us, for his scoring and rebounding ability. Zahir will surely be looked to, to help lead the team in scoring and rebounding. Both players area dynamic in the post, and should wreak havoc on the oppositions post players. They attack the rim with force, and dominanceon both ends of the floor. Dexter and Zahir will be able to push each other, and with Head Coach Terry Dehere, and Big Man Coach Luther Wright teaching them the nuances of the game, both should garner Overseas or possibly NBA interest'.
