NBA Draft Update

March 7, 2008 by Ed Weiland Leave a Comment

Another update on the prospect rankings I’ve been doing each month. For many of these players this will be fairly close to their final ranking, as they will play in only a few more games. Others, especially players who have missed significant time due to injury, could improve or decline fairly dramatically. Right now the draft is shaping up as a fairly mediocre one. There are only a few players who I would call solid choices, in the sense that I’m pretty certain at this point that they’ll make a … [Read more...] about NBA Draft Update

Atlanta Hawks  2/29    Sign Jeremy Richardson to second 10-day contract  A great return to Atlanta for Richardson.  He scored a point a minute for each of his first two games, shooting 3-4 in 8 minutes each game. The Hawks should keep him around for the rest of the season at this point and he'll have enough buzz to be taken seriously by an NBA team next training camp. … [Read more...] about Transactions: 2/19-3/1

Quick Thoughts

February 25, 2008 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

1.    Star  Power:  The state of the Western Conference is pretty astounding.  The top nine teams are separated by only a few games in the standing.  In fact, it seems almost certain that the eight seed in the West will break the wins record for an eight seed (currently held by the 2000-01 Minnesota Timberwolves at 47-35).  The concentration of great teams and great players, particularly after Paul Gasol came to the Lakers, has some harkening back to the 1980s and those Celtic and Lakers squads … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

Atlanta Hawks  2/16    Acquire Mike Bibby from Sacramento in exchange for Shelden Williams, Lorenzen Wright, Anthony Johnson, Tyronn Lue and a 2008 second round draft pick 2/18    Sign Jeremy Richardson to a 10-day contract  A surprisingly inspired acquisition from a front office that has been in perpetual litigation for several years that has paralyzed it from making many moves.  Bibby is a bit overrated and overpriced but Atlanta is weak at the point guard slot and Bibby is certain to … [Read more...] about Transactions: 2/2-2/19

1.    Kidd Stuff:    What initially seemed like a very interesting deal between the Nets and Mavericks now appears close to dead.  The deal as originally constituted looks like this:  Nets Get: Devin Harris (heart of the deal.  Harris is locked into a long-term extension and is only 25). Jerry Stackhouse (reportedly would be bought out immediately and would re-sign with Dallas--though David Stern doesn't like that plan). DeSagana Diop: (not a bad backup center but is more in the deal … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

NBA Draft Update

February 12, 2008 by Ed Weiland Leave a Comment

This is an updating of the player rankings I did up at the end of January. A few quick notes on these rankings: There’s a maximum of 40 points in this system. The rankings are based entirely on statistics. The statistics used are different for each position. I don’t make any allowance for player ages, so freshmen and sophomores will have more room for improvement than juniors and seniors. The number isn’t meant to be a final ranking, just a reflection of how each player stands up statistically … [Read more...] about NBA Draft Update
