| Picks from here on out picks are gonna get lower grades because players aren't as good except for the occasional steal. For example, Richard Jefferson is predicted to break out and be better than Van Horn. I don't believe it, but with Kidd passing me the ball, I could probably put up 10 pts a night so this pick could be good. I don't like him, but he did have some big games last year and he does get a lot of threes. Still, with Grant Hill back and nominally healthy, Miller's time on the court will drop a bit. We'll see about this one. He'll be getting lots of time because Orlando is very much lacking in good big men. However, he's worthless for anything but threes and much as threes are a tough category to combine with fg%, you need your PF to get some rebounds too. According to a fanball article, he's not gonna be starting this year, he's coming off the bench behind Ben Wallace and Zeljko Rebraca. Whether or not this is true, C-rob doesn't shoot very well and doesn't get blocks. I think everyone in the league knows that when it comes to college I don't know squat. Possibly even diddly-squat. I do know that Butler is good, and on a team like the Heat, he'll probably be the #2 scorer, good pick. He has a broken finger, his team is horrible, he has horrible shooting percentages, he doesn't do anything besides score and he's such a goddamn headcase and distraction that I just have to hate on this pick. He's good as shit, but he's competing with Battier for a spot. I don't know enough about him and the inner workings of the Memphis coaching staff to make a call on this one. Keith Van Horn would probably be a better pick, but my thoughts went thus: Malone's getting old, Donyell Marshall is in Chicago, Kirilenko will rock the house. Unfortunately I was counting on Van Horn making it back and he didn't. Oh well. Could do great things, but I foresee his bad free throw shooting cutting into his worth. Still, amazing potential and good chance of producing immediately. We'll see how he works out with Jalen. Awesome shooting percentages, but doesn't score much. May not see much time with Billups in Detroit. On the other hand, he has the Barry genes, he could do good things. Passable picks: Joe, G, Justin Poor picks: Howard |
