any thoughts or current hate?
addressed some perimeter D/athleticism with Hassell & Flight White (future 2007 slam dunk champ), and inside size with 7'0+ Loren Woods.

I basically like your team. In terms of offensive capabilities, it's probably playoff bound. You could use another shooter to help spread the floor--otherwise, Marshall may need to see a lot of playing time. You've got a very nice rotation of swing men.
I don't believe in Griffin as a center, although the 'Wolves are forced to play him there sometimes. He really came into the league supposed to turn out as a Lamar Odom-type 'tweener forward.
Aside from outside shooting, the main thing I notice about your team is the lack of dominant rebounding. Amare may grab a couple more per game than usual since he's not playing next to Marion, but Harrington isn't a strong rebounder at PF and Marshall has declined a bit in that respect over the last couple of years.
But like I said, I would guess it's a playoff team. You can score with most squads in this league.

much respect, good analysis. I think griffin will avg. 2+ blocks a game again this season, so that's all he'll need to bring off the bench, having big men who can hit the 3; griffin(don't include last year with the eye problem), marshall, along with stoudamire & crawford i think we could spread the floor, Hassell also will shoot more 3's this year (refering to a realgm.com article, specifically on Trenton shooting 3's this season. I also think harrington is a better fit rebounding, not having to be the best big on the floor (like in ATL) as a secondary.
who wants their team analyzed by your boy, Southeasy?

Re: Raptors Forum GM Draft Discussion Thread
very strong at C, with Dally & Wright backing him up, good mix of D & O, Jermaine is jermaine, lets hope he over his injury, he could also play some C if you go with a different lineup, his backup, Hakim War-axe needs to put on some weight & get stronger to defend most Pf's/C's, but he's got huge potential, at the SF position your set with Caron & Posey, basically the same type of player just age difference, along with JJ & them 3's.
J-rich is your 2nd scorer and can do it all, hope he's over his injury too, Bogans can do alittle bit of everything, Mo-Will & Banks is a very strong PG rotation, Mo got them 3's & Banks got that hard D and dribble-drive, could use some more passing here but that;s about it.
you definitly have one of the top teams in this whole thing no doubt.

No. PureStreetz picked Olowokandi a long time ago. It's still Ravor's picks until 5:30.

Re: Raptors Forum GM Draft Discussion Thread
I dont think my team came out that bad looking, I got inside talent, shooting ability, a nice defensive touch and a decent bench.
PG: Billups / Williams
SG: Wells / Barry / Delfino
SF: Lewis / Korolev
PF: Duncan / Smith
C: Mihm / Olowokandi

I would agree. Duncan and Billups are a great pair, and Lewis and Wells can contribute in very different ways on offense. Center rotation isn't very intimidating, but I could see Smith getting some real minutes with Duncan in the pivot.
