| Everyone dislikes Van Horn for being lackadaisical, but the truth is that he scores well, rebounds and hits threes. I think Van Horn is a better pick than Battier or Sprewell who went in the last two rounds. He's a great scorer, hits threes and shoots well. Could start with Maggette injured and Piatkowski continuing to be caucasian. Good pick, Justin. Wow, never thought I'd say THAT. Before the season, Cleveland committed to running its offence through Miles and Wagner and I needed a backup PG. I didn't realize Wagner's out for a while after having surgery to remove a blood clot. Fortunatly I traded his ass to G. Dunleavy is supposed to start, and start producing right off the bat in Golden State. Jamison is playing PF and Fortson is riding the pine. His quickness was one of his main assets in college, let's see how he fares in the NBA where everyone's quick. Note, I'm writing these summaries based on what I thought before the season, to basically test out my prediction skills. I do in fact know that Dunleavy is comparable in production to Evan Eshemeyer right now. Dale Davis is the best center left, but he's not really all that exciting and Sabonis may cut into his time a bit. As well, just being on the Blazers could make Davis commit suicide in shame. Another superstar under performing in the Portland mess. Stoudamire used to look like the next big thing back in his days with Toronto. Now with Antonio Daniels and Jeff Mcinnis to compete for time, he's probably spending his weekend nights on the phone trying to get traded. He rebounds, and his shooting percentages are good. He may be the lowest scoring PF in the NBA who gets time. Will probably get a lot of rebounds though with Mourning out for the season. Even when he was one of the big scoring options in Chicago he still wasn't very good. Now he's on the same team as Reggie Miller, Ron Artest is healthy, and Jon Bender is only getting better. He's a good rebounder and scorer and he has great fg%. Marshall missed a lot of last season with a phantom injury, we'll see how valuable he is now. Somebody's been feeding this guy tall pills. The 7'6 Ming has a lot to live up to as first pick. If you put a telephone poll in basketball shoes it would look a lot like Yao, and unfortunately, so far it would probably have better stats than Yao too.
