    hopefully hunter can step up and play good, but jack givens really likes zaza, so he must be producing pretty good in practices, while hunter isn't.

    I find some of your predictions abit odd

    Like Lue averaging only 4PPG...He won't keep his starting spot with points like that.Shammond Williams averaging only 4 as well?..He is a scoring guard...He should get more than that.T-mac averaging close to a triple double won't happen....He is no Oscar...T-mac on the all defensive first team? who do you expect him to replace exactly? His defence is the only true weak spot in his game...Doc Rivers as coach of the year is a strange one too..He isn't a bad coach but not a great one either...I question some of his decisions..mainly in the playoffs.Gooden making the all-star team is possible I guess although I don't think he will make it for a few more years yet..He will need to share the ball with Howard inside...Which might be difficult considering Howard will be the 2nd option and Gooden will not be..Giricek doesn't have the passing skills to average 4 assists a game and certainly not in limited minutes...

    I do agree that they will make it out of the first round...A top 4/5 seed will most likely happen if they can still heathly and play as a team.Along with T-mac's back not causing him anymore trouble.

    Overall Magic fans should expect a successful season...With the recent trade of Walker to the west...Magic shouldn't have to worry about Boston this year..which should open up their chance in the post season

    potential league awards. those guys if they do good could get those awards. gooden if he lives up to his potential could be an all-star. doc has challenged tmac to make the all defensive team. tmac never backs away from challenges, so he could be on there. if the magic can move up to around the 3rd seed, then doc and gabriel have a possibility for those awards. i think shammond will prob get around 7 pts, but i don't know who to take the pts away from.

    Magic would need to be a 1st or 2nd seed for Rivers to get COY...They would also have to win 55 games or so..If Gooden lives up to his poteinal he could be an allstar but likely not this year...With Howard as the 2nd option I don't see how gooden will make the all-star team...Mcgrady should just stick to the way he plays and not try and over do it on defence or it could hurt the Magic when they need him for offence late in games and it is on the line.

    If I was you I would start Shammond ahead of Lue...

    i also want to start shammond, but doc is high on lue, so lue will likely start, that's why i put him at starting pg.

    I think Lue is the best candidate for the starting pg rule.
