NBA draft

Peter is a versatile inside player, who improved tremendously over the years with "The Bonnies". Very dedicated, tough and coachable player. Can play either low or high post. He is a mobile player, who moves well with and without the ball. He has a very good touch from 18ft and in, can score with jumphook, turn around J, or powermove. Finishes very well with 51.1 %FG. He is physical strong and has a power game at the block. He has above average passing skills for a big man and plays smart. He is left handed. Does a very good job on the boards, even when his rebounding stats dropped this year from 7.1 rpg to 6.1 rpg, but that was because he couldn't leap at all due to his injury. He plays tough and physical inside defense, making good use of his arms, body and legs. Despite the bad luck this past season (he recovered late in the season from a longlasting injury) he still has the upside to move up in the European ranks. Has a great attitude and is hard-nosed. Extremely coachable. Was leased out to Melilla by BC Oostende for the 2003-'04 to give him the oppor- tunity to pick up his rythm again. Melilla was very please with him but the coaching change in November 2.003 was of big influence for the rest of the season taking 6 player replacements into consideration. Played for Den Helder for 1,5 seasons before being forced to leave due to the bakruptcy of Den Helder and sigend with Amsterdam/Astronauts afterthat. Played very well for Amsterdam in the 2006-2007 FIBA EuroCup campaign, averaging 16,5 ppg (48,7%) and 5,7 rpg in a group with Virtus Bologna (Italy), Adecco Asvel Villeurbanne (France) and DTL EKA AEL (Cyprus). Voted MVP of the Dutch league in 2007/2008. Dutch All Star yearly throughout his career. Will be playing for Mons-Hainaut in Belgium for the 2010-'11 season, based to the fact that he will be "loaned out" by Eiffel Towers/Den Bosch. Has a has a contract with Eiffel Towers/Den Bosch until May 31, 2013.
