-=EAST=-

The Top Dogs: (In no praticular order)

Boston Celtics:

Team Roster:

Quote:

Oudry Kisamba
Harrison Barnes
Scott Machado
Tristan Thompson
Alex Caruso
Ed Davis
Alexey Shved
George Leary
Marcus Paige

When I look at the Celtics I see a well rounded team around possibly the best Center in the league Oudry Kisamba , Machado is exactly the PG you need near a strong front court of Kisamba/Thompson/Davis (best front in the league?) , with the extra scoring from Barnes at SG , I can deff see the Celtics beeing a top dog in the East , their biggest weakness is their SF postion.

Chicago Bulls:

Quote:

Linos Chrysikopoulos
Greg Monroe
Perry Jones III
Royce White
Dan Hershey
Joakim Noah
Omri Casspi
Alvaro Paralta
Andrew Wiggins
Omar Parks
Wilson Chandler
Nate Erdman

When I look at the Bulls they don't strike me as an elite team , but in the weak east they actually have 1 of the best teams , Monroe and Noah round up to an above avg front court , PJ3 and Royce White is very nice on the wings , Hershey is a solid PG , but this team doesn't have alot of depth , their overall D their elite rebounding and shot blocking will carry them to be one of the top teams in the east , main weakness - their PG.

Miami Heat:

Quote:

Aires Turner
M.J Cooper
Chris Paul
Andrew Bynum
Alex Poythress
Devin Ebanks
Marcin Gortat
Isiah Austin
Darren Collison
Moe Harkless
JJ Reddick

Heat tried the combo of young guys and old guys this snake draft , with Bynum Turner and Gortat Heats front court is one of the strongest in the east , good D good rebounding good shotblocking great stealing and good bench will make the Heat a top dog out east although they have more then 1 weakness , biggest weakness - Alex Poy not fitting in that team , can make the Heat not click well.

Detroit Pistons:

Quote:

Herman Moscatel
John Henson
Jared Sullinger
Jabari Parker
Ridley O'Hare
Josh Schelp
Jeremy Holland
David Williams
Paul Millsap
Terrence Ross
Phil Pressey
Riccardo Mirante

When I look at the Pistons I see a well-rounded up team , Henson and Sullinger make a nice front court , very good deapth in this team , probably will have 1 of the best benches in the east with Schelp Ross and Millsap , main weakness - back court scoring.

The Mid Feeders: (In no praticular order)

Milwaukee Bucks:

Team Roster:

Quote:

Thomas Robinson
Bill Snipe
Serge Ibaka
Anrio Adams
Rick Jacobsen
Maxwell Blair
Jacob Salter
Rodney Hood
Oliver Kloft
Larry Nitro
Moses Elfmon

Bucks team is mainly built on T-Rob Ibaka and Bill Snipe , Jacobsen is a nice scorer along with Adams to round up a pretty decent starting 5 very well rounded , their front court is elite , but their back court could use help in my opinion , also their bench could be better , Bucks will be fighting for a playoff spot , and we will probably see them there end of the year maybe even challnging the big 4.

Team Scores:
Scoring: B-

New York Knicks:

Team Roster:

Quote:

Kevin Durant
Javale Mcgee
Greg Oden
Jrue Holiday
C.J McCollum
Dion waiters
Kris Clyde
Fab Melo
Austin Rivers
Chris Nguyen
Aaron Harrison
Raymond Felton

Knicks team might not be the best around , but a solid deffensive front court with Javel and Oden along with Durant's scoring will deff make them a playoff team , Knicks bench is thin , they will go as far as Durant takes them , main - weakness - too depended on Durant's scoring.

Team Scores:
Scoring: C

Washington Bullets:

Team Roster:

Quote:

]Amir Jones
LeBron James
El McGiver
Martin Sharp
Alex Len
Chris Walker
Andrew Bogut
Ariel Huffman
Kawhi Leonard
Rodrigue Beaubois
Mike Conley

When I look at the Bullets I see an amazing back court led by Amir Jones , LBJ and McGiver , I feel like their front court will hold them back though , Their front court will get smashed by alot of the teams above with a solid due of big guys.

Team Scores:

Team Roster:

Quote:

Derrick Rose
Eric Gordon
Enas Kanter
Bismack Biyombo
Jacob Clapsaddle
Matthew babel
Giacomo Rossi
Loul Deng
Ronnie Brewer
Jon Leuer
Kendrick Perkins

Nets very similar to the bullets have a killer scoring back court with Rose/Gordon/Deng , but their front court is just bad... Enas Kanter and Bismack Biyombo is not my idea of a great front court.

Team Scores:

Philadelphia 76ers:

Team Roster:

Quote:

Kyle Anderson
Russell Westbrook
josh Smith
Shabazz Muhammad
Jeremy Lin
Neal Lewis
Ryan Anderson
Kemba Walker
Lou Williams
Alexis Ajinca
Tobias Harris
Michael Beasley

76'ers picks in the snake draft were auto selected , they are in an ALL-IN situation since they are wayyyy over the hard cap , but also have ALOT of talent , they could easly be a top team but right now without a GM they will only battle for a playoff spot , Westbrook , Shabazz , Anderson , Smoove and Kemba Walker are all very solid pices but their front court is just awful.

Team Scores:

Indiana Pacers:

Team Roster:

Quote:

Kevin Love
Andre Drummond
Myck Kabongo
Trevor Downs
Ben Defoe
Al-farouq Aminu
Bentley Keeper
Troy Williams
Judah Nevel
Andrew Harrison
Jeff Whithey
Wally Torrens

Pacers like alot of east teams it seems , have an elite front court led by Kevin Love and Andre Drummond , they also have a very good PG in Myck Kabongo to match those 2 bigs , but their bench and wings is lacking talent! I think the elite front court together with Kabongo should be enough for playoffs.

Team Scores:
Scoring: C+
Offence efficency: C+
Deffence: B-
Stealing: C
Rebounding: B-
Blocking: C

That leaves us with the Raptors , Hornets and Magic , Raptors and Hornets traded their snake picks for future picks , Magic went with a young build , those are obviously the bottem 3 teams in the east and will not be graded.

Thats it! West will be coming soon.

JerryWest · 10-31-2012, 05:54 PM

great write-up smath! celtics are favorites in the East but we'll have to wait for depth charts and reg season to see if they live up to potential

hunerman · 10-31-2012, 07:41 PM

Wow! Great read.
Is there a west edition coming?

awaywehappened · 10-31-2012, 07:41 PM

You can make one.

Smath · 10-31-2012, 08:03 PM

will come tom , the grading stuff take alot of time ~_~

Drizzy · 10-31-2012, 08:04 PM

Appreciate the love! A lot of good teams, I'm glad the FRSL is almost back

hunerman · 10-31-2012, 08:42 PM

All the hard work is greatly appreciated!

MemphisX · 10-31-2012, 09:50 PM

West is going to be a blood bath.

kreutz35 · 10-31-2012, 09:54 PM

Awesome work Smath! It's weird seeing the Bulls as elite and the Knicks with good defense. It's going to take a little time getting used to all the new teams

**El Shaqtus** · 10-31-2012, 10:06 PM

I think I have the biggest enigma in the East. I couldn't tell anybody where this team would finish.

shmip · 11-01-2012, 12:09 AM

Fantastic read smath! Really awesome .. About the Knicks i must say im a bit dissapointent , looks like gary didnt do his research before the snake draft as most of his picks besides KD and Mcgee are bad..

Roturn · 11-01-2012, 12:34 AM

Great read.
But imo my Magic will surprise you. Hope to be stronger than some of these.

shmip · 11-01-2012, 01:40 AM

Your magic is a nice team , but as the same in FRSL V1 its a nice team and thats all .. Not even 1 good scorer might be a huge problem for your team

Roturn · 11-01-2012, 02:05 AM

Gato, Hibbert, Randle, Corliss, Lamb can all score 15+
Griffin, Randolph and even Keegan might do ~5-10 depending on their bench minutes. More when others are injured or having foul trouble.

So I think scoring wise it`s better with the Bullets in FRSL 1.

shmip · 11-01-2012, 02:21 AM

Of course they can score 15 ppg, but none of them is a go to guy player.. Who will take the last shot? Who has the ability to score under presure or make the tough play? Imo none of them .. But lets see whats happens
