Philly Boston Toronto Orlando Detroit Atlanta Cleveland Milwaukee Chicago Washington Charlotte New Jersey New York Miami Indiana Once again. Inexact. Just trying to start some debate.
New Jersey's at the bottom. Cleveland sunk after they traded away Drew Gooden. I would rank Washington and Atlanta a little higher, though. Sure, our frontcourt is weak, but we're used to it. At least it can't be any worse than it was last season.

Sean can block, and Boone is becoming a fairly good post defender, but that's it.

Lopez and Yi will be used for either low post offense or jumpshooting respectively (and Anderson will fill in for either one that is injuried or in foul trouble). Sean will either be on another team or in the d-league.

Brook, we don't know about, because he's a rookie. But he's not too shabby at blocking people.
