Here's a big bunny created by  tobu! And when I say big I mean BIG... German Giant Rabbits are real creatures, and they're HUGE!

Can't waste too much time with descriptions (that's what the paragraphs below are for). I have 44 hours to draw the last 8 prospects. That's 5.5 hours with no sleep or breaks. This one took 5 hours 27 minutes. Breaks are unavoidable, because they happen every minute I'm not drawing (like now). I just hope I can last long enough without sleep to get them finished in time. The 3 hours I accidentally got today should help a bit with that. Maybe I can snag 2 or 3 hours if I make good time on a few in a row.

In the world of mammals, there are bunnies (like Buck Hopper) and then there are BUNNIES! Dirk Von Stryker is 7'2", 265 lbs worth of BUNNY! And he's 8'1" with the ears! That's a lot of carrots.

Specifically, Dirk is a German Giant Rabbit, hailing from the German city of Bremen. Migrating to the USA when he turned 13, Dirk was already a fan of the sport of basketball, but upon hitting his growth spurt (and growing 12 inches in a year) that's when he started to consider a career in professional basketball a little more seriously.

Dirk is a good defender, like most big guys on the draft board. He can guard big guys in the post. He can block a few shots. He can get rebounds and dunks in the paint. But what is unique about DVS is that he has the unusual ability for a big man to shoot the longball, and at a respectable rate at that!

During an offensive play, if the defense is distracted by ball movement and action on the other side of the court, Dirk will then drift back to the three point line, quietly forgotten by those thinking he's too far out to be effective. If a driving player spots him all alone on the wing or in the corner, it's lights out. This little move is great for spreading the floor and taking big guys away from the hoop so guards have an easier time penetrating. Although it does make it difficult for Dirk to get rebounds when he's busy camping at the arc. He gets plenty of them at other times though, as his height and ability to box out make him a solid rebounder.

He's a pretty quiet guy on and off the court, preferring to let his play do the talking. But his quiet personality sometimes leads him to be a bit timid on the court and he can get caught being an onlooker instead of getting involved. He's also pretty slow actually, and isn't all that athletic. He lacks footwork down low, and is slow to move, making guarding pick and rolls very difficult. But his game isn't based on speed, just picking his spots and waiting.

Dirk actually has a couple of decent post moves, including a nice sweeping hook shot and a decent turnaround. He can hit midrange as well, which really comes in handy. But it's pretty surreal seeing this big bunny spotting up 25 feet from the basket and swishing the trey!

He's also pretty bad at dribbling and passing, but that's not normally something a big guy is good at anyways. But with Dirk's long range talents, he's far from a normal big guy. And with a skill set as unique as his, he's sure to be a gem in the league for years to come.
