NBA Draft 2010: Prospect Update

by 11 Comments

Right now I would rank the 2010 class as below-average. The potential at this point would rank somewhere between weak and slightly above-average at this point. I could see as many as 9 impact players in this group. But none is a sure thing and if they all come up short, as is the case more often than not, it will be a very weak draft. The strength of this draft will be the forwards, be they power, combo or small. They’re a strong group that could get stronger if some emerging players keep their … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2010: Prospect Update

Atlanta Hawks  1/5    Waived Othello Hunter 1/12   Signed Mario West to a 10-day contract 1/22   Signed Mario West to a  second 10-day contract 2/1     Signed Mario West for the rest of the season  West hasn't done much this season for the Hawks to remedy their short bench but he is a good athlete and a local guy.  The Hawks have also used West to fill out the bench the last few years too.  West's stats in college and in the pros show no indication that he's really pro level (his … [Read more...] about Transactions: 12/13-2/2

Franchise Best Non-All-Stars

Last time, we looked at some the best players players never to make an All-Star game.  At the request of friend of the site and overall nice guy Aitan Spring, we are going to take a look at each team's best player never to make an All-Star game. A few guidelines for our review: -We choose players based upon their accomplishment solely with one franchise. For example, Rod Strickland is possibly the best non-All-Star ever but he had several cameos for franchises where he wasn't great, which … [Read more...] about Franchise Best Non-All-Stars

Quick Thoughts

1.    Memphis Surge Reviewed:    One of the more interesting stories of the season is the unexpected improvement of the Grizz, who are now 20-18 after going 24-58 all of last year.  Well, it's not that improvement was unexpected it's just that the extent of improvement is the surprising part.  When the Grizz grabbed Zach Randolph for nothing, we kind of figured there would be some improvement but the team is a fringe playoff team.  What's going on here?  Well, the Grizz of 2008-09 were one of … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

NBA Draft Update

by 6 Comments

Right now the 2010 draft class is a little tough to gauge. As with recent drafts the strength will be in the freshman class. My feeling is that this class is somewhat below-average. Other than Wall and Henry the guards are a very weak group. The big guys look OK now, but the conference games are starting and that always thins their ranks out. This list is a little scattershot and not exactly a top 60 that’s in a strict order of the ability and future of the players. After the first 15 or so I … [Read more...] about NBA Draft Update
