Team Overviews

Atlanta Hawks:Overall Rating 77
Key Players
PF- Antoine Walker
PF- Al Harrington
SG- Josh Childress

What to look for?- Look for the Atlanta Hawks to gradually
work their way inside, then hit you with their outside shooting.
They will also look for Antoine Walker alot, because he
can shoot the lights out from three-point range.

Weaknesses- Their ball handlers aren't that good,
so try and go for the steal if possible.
Also,use your team's height to your advantage,
because they dont have height on their side

Boston Celtics:Overall Rating 84
Key Players
SF- Paul Pierce
SG- Ricky Davis
PG- Gary Payton

What to look for?- Look for Boston to 95% of the time pass
the ball to Paul Pierce right away, he tries to take it in and
get a foul called. The only time that the first pass doesn't go
to Paul is when somebody is wide open for a shot.

Weaknesses- They don't have a very good inside game,
so defend the shot, and let them take it in and try to score.
Raef Lafrentzis their starting Center, and he isn't very physical.

Charlotte Bobcats:Overall Rating 58
Key Players
C- Emeka Okafor
SF- Gerald Wallace
SG- Jason Kapono

What to look for?- The Bobcats only have a very good
outside shooter in Steve Smith,and Emeka Okafor and Melvin Ely
are both beasts in the low post if you give them the chance
to get easy baskets.

Weaknesses- Their bench is weak, along with their shooters.
Their three point shooters are a liability that basically
determine the outcome of the game.

Chicago Bulls:Overall Rating 82
Key Players
C- Eddy Curry
SG- Ben Gordon
PG- Kirk Hinrich

What To Look For?- Look for Kirk Hinrich to shoot
alot of three pointers,and he normally will make most of them.
Also, the Bulls have a pretty inside game,
so try to get as many defensive rebounds as possible.

Weaknesses- The Bulls mid-range shooting and
inside shooting aren't too good,
so keep them from getting easy lay-ups and dunks.

Cleveland Cavaliers:Overall Rating 79
Key Players
PG- LeBron James
PF- Drew Gooden
C- Zydrunas Ilgauskas

What To Look For?- Look for Cleveland to feed the ball to
LeBron James, because he is their whole team.
Don't let him score on you. Also,
try to keep the ball away from Zydrunas Ilgauskas,
because he is a beast down low.

Weaknesses- Cleveland isn't a very good shooting team,
with the exception of LeBron James.
Also their bench won't help them in long games.

Dallas Mavericks:Overall Rating 88
Key Players
PF- Dirk Nowitzki
SF- Jerry Stackhouse
Sg- Michael Finley

What too look for?- Look for the Mavericks to shoot a
boat-load of three pointers.Watch out for when you try
to lay it up or dunk, 7'5" Shawn Bradley may be there!

Weaknesses- The Mavericks major weaknesses are their inside scoring,
and ball handling.

Denver Nuggets: Overall Rating 84
Key Players
SF- Carmelo Anthony
PF- Kenyon Martin
PG- Andre Miller

What to look for?- Look for Carmelo Anthony to score in just about
everyway possible. However, you can't just focus on Carmelo because
Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, Earl Boykins will have a field day
on you if you don't contain them.

Weaknesses- Their post play is ok at best, if you can shut down
Kenyon and Camby from inside 15 you are just about all set.

Detroit Pistons:Overall Rating 90
Key Players
C- Ben Wallace
PF- Rasheed Wallace
SG- Richard "Rip" Hamilton

What to look for?- The Pistons are a very versitile team,
and they love to run the ball up the court. They play very
strong defense

Weaknesses- A weak bench sets the Pistons back, along with iffy
three point shooting from Rasheed Wallace.

Golden State Warriors:Overall Rating 77
Key Players
SG- Jason Richardson
SF- Mike Dunleavy Jr.
PG- Derek Fisher

What to look for?- Golden State is a very fast team that is capable
of large runs off of fastbreaks, and defensive rebounds. Golden State
also has an above average backcourt of Richardson and Speedy Claxton,
who can bot hit shots. Mike Dunleavy is their go to shooter, he is money
if you leave him open. Golden State also plays pretty good perimiter defense,
and shuts down the open three.

Weaknesses- The Warriors low post is the only thing separating them
from a playoff spot. Their low post offense is terrible, and
they do not do a good job of boxing out on defense. Their lack of hight
hurts them even more because they commit stupid fouls in the low post,
due  to their lack of rebounding talent.

Houston Rockets:Overall Rating 83
Key Players
C- Yao Ming
PF- Juwan Howard
SG- Tracy McGrady

What to look for?- Look for the Rockets to give the ball to
Tracy McGrady, when it's possible.Your best chance to shut him
down is to double team him. However, you can't sleep on Yao,
because he can take over the game just as well as T-mac.

Indiana Pacers:Overall Rating 80
Key Players
PF- Jermaine O'Neal
SG- Ron Artest
SG- Reggie Miller

What to look for?- The Pacers are a very good team,
and are well rounded.You can't just target one thing that
will stop them. They also play great defense. Try not to let
the Pacers run wild on fastbreaks against you.

Weaknesses- The Pacers are a team without a stand-out shooter,
Reggie Miller and Ron Artest are both good, but not spectacular.
Try to limit the number of offensive rebounds that O'Neal
gets so that you can keep them from getting easy shots.


Los Angeles Clippers:Overall Rating 74
Key Players
PF- Elton Brand
SG- Corey Maggette
PG- Marko Jaric

What to look for?- Look for the Clippers to spread out the ball
to get easy, uncontested shots. Their shooting game is underestimated.

Weaknesses- Their inside shooting, their bench, and rebounding.
They can be one of the elite teams in the NBA if you let them
get open outside shots, and let them get offensive rebounds.

Los Angeles Lakers:Overall Rating 88
Key Players
SG- Kobe Bryant
SF- Lamar Odom
SF- Caron Butler

What to look for?- Look for the Lakers to shoot the ball well,
and often. Try to defrend the shot as best as you can.

Weaknesses- With the loss of Shaquille O'Neal,
the Lakers don't have a very good inside game.
Try to use that to your advantage.

Memphis Grizzlies:Overall Rating 91
Key Players
C- Pau Gasol
SG- James Posey
PF- Stromile Swift

What to look for?- Look for Memphis to take the ball to the rim,
they have a good core of inside shooters. Also, defend James Posey,
he can shoot the lights out if you don't cover him.

Weaknesses- Their ball-handlers are young, and inexperienced,
so exploit that.

Miami Heat:Overall Rating 80
Key Players
C- Shaquille O'Neal
SG- Eddie Jones
PG- Dwayne Wade

What to look for?- This team is a two-man band,
Shaq and Dwayne Wade will score points on you all day if you're not carefull.
On offense, don't even think about taking it in the paint, it will
get swatted by Shaq.

Weaknesses- Their forwards are dismal, they traded away two of their
best forwards to get Shaq. Let them have mid-range shots,
they won't make the contested ones,
their shooting from there isn't very good.

Milwaukee Bucks:Overall Rating 79
Key Players
SF- Desmond Mason
SG- Michael Redd

What to look for?- Look for the Bucks to shoot alot of shots,
and play tight defense at crucial times. They will also try
to drive the ball in the key alot.

Weaknesses- The Bucks don't have a very good core of Centers
and Power Forwards, so their inside game is not very good.

Minnesota Timberwolves:Overall Rating 82
Key Players
PF- Kevin Garnett
SF- Latrell Sprewell
PG- Sam Cassell

What to look for?- Minnesota will constantly give the ball
to Kevin Garnett, and in the late part of the game,
they will shoot the ball well. They are a clutch team.

Weaknesses- Their Guards aren't very good,
and their Center Michael Olowokandi is constantly injured,
and that weakens their inside game.

New Jersey Nets:Overall Rating 68
Key Players
C- Aaron Williams
SF- Richard Jefferson
PG- Jason Kidd

What to look for?- The Nets offense is horrendous,
I wont be surprised if they are last in the league
in offense, but they have a very affective defense.

Weaknesses- Their offense, and the Shooting Guard
and Power Forward positions.

New Orleans Hornets:Overall Rating 89
Key Players
C- Jamal Magloire
SF- Jamal Mashburn
PG- Baron Davis

What to look for?- The Hornets are one of the best
all-around teamsin the league, so they are good
at almost everything.

Weaknesses- Their defense is their only major weakness.

New York Knicks:Overall Rating 87
Key Players
PG- Stephon Marbury
SG- Penny Hardaway
PG- Jamal Crawford

What to look for?- Look for strong play from
the guard position,and good shooting.

Weaknesses- Their Forwards and Centers aren't very good,
so they don't rebound very well.

Orlando Magic:Overall Rating 83
Key Players
SF- Grant Hill
SG- Cuttino Mobley
PG- Steve Francis

What to look for?- Look for the Magic to bang the ball
into the post,and have their Centers and Forwards
hit-up the guards for easy shots.

Weaknesses- Centers, and their defense isn't very good.

Philidelphia Seventy-Sixers: Overall Rating 76
Key Players
C- Samuel Dalembert
SF- Glenn Robinson
SG- Allen Iverson

What to look for?- The Allen Iverson show is
all that's playingin Philidelphia. He is basically
their whole team.

Weaknesses- Their offense, and their guards play.

Pheonix Suns: Overall Rating 81
Key Players
PF- Amare Stoudemire
SF- Shawn Marion
PG- Steve Nash

What to look for?- Look for good all-around
play from the Suns.

Weaknesses- Their Center, and their bench
are the only things that make them an 81.

Portland Trail Blazers: Overall Rating 83
Key Players
C- Theo Ratliff
PF- Zach Randolph
PG- Derek Anderson

What to look for?- The Blazers are a very versitile team,
but their main weapon is Zach Randolph in the key.
Also, watch out for Derek Anderson's 3 point shot.

Sacremento Kings:Overall Rating 92
Key Players
PF- Chris Webber
SF- Peja Stojakovic
PG- Mike Bibby

What to look for?- The Kings are the best all-around team,
you can't just pinpoint one certain thing.

Weaknesses- Their bench isn't as good as last year,
they've lost alot of key role players to other teams.

San Antonio Spurs:Overall Rating 88
Key Players
PF- Tim Duncan
SG- Manu Ginobili
PG- Tony Parker

What to look for?- Mainly, the Spurs offense
is Tim Duncan down low, and Manu Ginobili
shooting threes up high.

Weaknesses- Their forwards aren't the best in the league,
and their players aren't too good on the fastbreak.

Seattle Supersonics:Overall Rating 82
Key Players
SF- Rashard Lewis
SG- Ray Allen
PG- Ronald "Flip" Murray

What to look for?- Just defend the outside shot,
because that's the only thing that they can do well on offense.

Weaknesses- Inside scoring, without a very good Center
you can't have a good inside game. The Sonics also aren't
too good on the defensive end of the court.

Toronto Raptors:Overall Rating 86
Key Players
PF- Donyell Marshall
SF- Jalen Rose
SG- Vince Carter

What to look for?- Toronto like to try to work the ball around,
and then when you least expect it,
drive to the basket for an easy dunk.

Weaknesses- Defense, they have a very small team.
They also aren't a very good rebounding team either,
given their height problem.

Utah Jazz:Overall Rating 80
Key Players
PF- Carlos Boozer
SF- Andrei Kirilenko
PG- Carlos Arroyo

What to look for?- The Jazz play pretty good defense,
but their offense isn't very explosive.

Weaknesses- Shooting, the guard position,
and fast break will plague the Jazz in their games.

Washinghton Wizards:Overall Rating 85
Key Players
PF- Antawn Jamison
PF- Kwame Brown
PG- Gilbert Arenas

What to look for?- Look for the Wizards to be agressive
on both offense and defense. You definately want to tightly guard
Gilbert Arenas, he will have a field day on you,if you dont!

Weaknesses- Rebounding, and inexpierience.
The Wizards are one of the youngest team in the league,
so they will make mistakes. Make sure you capitalize on these.

3. Big Impact Rookies

Atlanta- SG Josh Childress
Rated: 62

Josh Childress, a rookie from Stanford will make an immediate
impact on the Hawks. He is a good shooter with confindence,
and he will get a ton of playing time.

Boston- SG Delonte West
Rated: 55

All last year, Delonte West played second fiddle to Jameer
Nelson at Saint Joseph's but still averaged over 15 PPG.
Look for Delonte to get alot of playing time, and use it
to his advantage.

Charlotte- C Emeka Okafor
Rated: 70

Emeka Okafor is going to be the next Shaquille O'Neal in a
few years. He is a very physical Center, and he goes after
every rebound there is. If you have a Dynasty I would highly
suggest that you trade to get him.

Chicago- SF Luol Deng
Rated: 59

Luol is a rookie out of Duke University. His coach
(Mike Krczewcewzki) really developed him into a good all
around ball player.

Cleveland- PG Luke Jackson
Rated: 52

Luke Jackson is a good athletic point guard that reminds
me of Magic Johnson, because he can take the ball inside too.
He also had a very high shooting percentage at Oregon
last year.

Dallas- C Pavel Podkolzin
Rated: 46

Pavel Podkolzin is a great compliment to 7'6" Shawn Bradley,
who he will be playing with. Podkolzin was a good all around
player, but he can block the ball very well.

Denver Nuggets
They traded away their only draft choice to Orlando.

Detriot Pistons- SG Carlos Delfino
Rated: 49

Not much is known about this 2nd-round draft pick from
Argentina. He played on Argentina's Olympic Team in
Athens, so he is pretty good.

Golden State Warriors- PF Andris Biedrins
Rated: 54

Andris is another international player that I don't know
much about, seeing that he played in Latvia. This year
he's played in the only two preseason games, but he shows
a great upside.

Houston Rockets- Did not draft anyone in the draft

Indiana Pacers- C David Harrison
Rated: 52

David Harrison was Colorado's leading scorer last year,
and he won't get much playing time right out of the gate.

Los Angeles Clippers- Lionel Chalmers
Rated: 50

Chalmers is a great shooter, he single handedly lead his
college team (Xavier) to the final stages of last year's
March Madness. He has great talent,and will be a good player
down the road.

Los Angleles Lakers- Have no rookies.

Memphis Grizzlies- SF Andre Emmett
Rated: 53

Emmett won't get alot of playing time, but he will shoot
the ball, and make the most of his time on the floor with
hustle plays.

Miami Heat- SG Dorell Wright
Rated: 58

Not too much is know from the 18-year-old form Leuzinger
HS in California, but he is a type of player similar to
Sebastian Telfair.

Milwaukee Bucks- Have no rookies this year.

Minnesota Timberwolves- Also have no rookies.

New Jersey Nets- C Nenad Kristic
Rated: 48

Nenad played on the Serbia-Montenegro Olympic team,
where he averaged 5.2 PPG and 3.2 RPG in Athens.

New Orleans Hornets- SG J.R. Smith
Rated: 57

J.R. is a very good shooter. He came straight out of
Saint Benedict's Prep HS in Newark, New Jersey. In the
pre-season he is shooting .500 from 3-point range, and
484 for Field Goal Percentage.

New York Knicks- Have no rookies

Orlando Magic- PG Jameer Nelson
Rated: 54

Jameer Nelson was a good aquistion in the off-season for
Orlando. He lead his Saint Joeseph's team very far
into March Madness this year with his shooting,

Philidelphia Seventy-Sixers- SG Andre Igoudala
Rated: 62

Andre Igoudala is going to be a star someday. This
year he is going to develop into a great player,
because he will get alot of playing time.
ballhandling, and leadership skills.

Pheonix Suns- PF Jackson Vroman
Rated: 47

At the end of his college career, Jackson ended
up finishing second on Iowa State's all-time
rebounding list, and ninth on their block
list. He has the potential to be a threat in the low
post for years to come.

Portland Trail Blazers- SG Sebastian Telfair
Rated: 52

Sebastian Telfair is a good player that won't get
much playing time in the Blazer's loaded roster.
Telfair played on the U.S. Junior National Olympic
team this year. Look for him to really steal the
spotlight in the games that he gets good quality
minutes.

Sacremento Kings- SG Kevin Martin
Rated: 58

Nobody really knows who Kevin Martin is,
or what he is capable of doing. He looks to me like
a good player, but won't end up playing up to his
capability. He won't get much playing time with
the playoff bound Kings.

San Antonio Spurs- PG Beno Udrih
Rated: 51

Beno is a 22-year-old from Slovenia, that I am
unfarmilliar with, but I do know that he won't
get a reasonable amount of playing time with Tony
Parker and Manu Ginobili in.

Seattle Supersonics- PF Nick Collison
Rated: 57

Collison will fit in perfect in Seattle. They need
a big man in the middle that can block shots, and
get physical. That's Nick Collison's style of play.

Toronto Raptors- C Rafael Araujo
Rated: 55

Araujo lead his Brigham Young team last year,
single-handedly. Rafael is a big guy who
likes to bang around in the paint, and slam
dunk on you.

Utah Jazz- SG Kirk Snyder
Rated: 59

Kirk Snyder is a very good shooter, but lacks
very good defense. He was the Second-Round pick
of the Utah Jazz

Washington Wizards- Have no rookies
