yo trumaster, on your sig, it's in that order right? sasser and tmac are the next jordan and pippen. so sasser would be jordan and tmac would be pippen right? lmao.
Yup. But really, I have been a Wagner fan since he was in high school. He went to HS in Jersey (Camden), and tore everyting up.He was an All American. Averaged 25 as a frosh(not sure about soph year), 33 as a junior and 44 as a senior. He had an 80 pt game as a junior, and a 100 pt game as a senior. He totaled 3500 career pts, which is ridiculous. In the state tournament, held at Rutgers, which holds thousands, Dajuan sold it out, no one else has done it. Then he went to Memphis, and ripped it up. So when he went to the Cavs, I liked them more, and now with LeBron, I am a Cavs fan.

Yao & Amare & Butler are going to be even better. Ginobili, Nene Hilario, Chris Wilcox will become house hold names. Watch out for Marcus Haislap and J.R. Bremer next year
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "shapecity":</div><div class="quote_post"> Ginobili, Nene Hilario, Chris Wilcox will become house hold names. </div> I doubt that, nene will be good, ginobili will be good too, and chris wilcox will rott on the bench again this year.
Excellent topic Magicfrankie... My picks Drew Gooden Really came on in the playoffs and how often do rookies do that?...especially when they have to bang with Ben Wallace for 5 games. He should average 15 and 10 easily. Toss Gordon Giricek in here too. This guy plays with lots of energy and flat finds out way to get the ball in the hole. Jared Jeffries- He might not break out, but he's got the talent to be waaay more productive than he was as a rookie. Now that Washington isn't pretending to be playoff team and with Jordan out of the picture, Jeffries should get some minutes and sneak into double-digit scoring range. On a side-note; I don't really like him as a player. He seems too soft, he's young and could definitely change but still...So while I'm not a big JJ fan, I think he'll have a much better sophmore season. Caron Bulter A burgeoning offensive force, averaged 20 points on 48% from the floor, 40% from '3' to go with 5 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals a game during the month of March. If he develops real 3pt range (for the season he only shot 31.8% in '03-'04, he'll be one of the East's most dangerous scorers. Nenad Krstic- A late first rounder in '02, Nenad would've been a lock for the top 10 this year. He and Zoran Planinic will give the Nets a bigger boost than people realize. Tayshaun Prince- Another rook' who came up huge for his team during the postseason. Plus his minutes will probably triple (from 10.4 per game) so the production has to shoot up, right? This probably won't make me very popular but.....I really don't see Nene Hilario getting much of a bump in numbers. He strikes me as a career 12 and 8 guy. The blocks and steals are a nice bonus though.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "olskoolFunktitude":</div><div class="quote_post">yea. wagners gonna be good. teyshaun prince and okur are nohting special</div> tayshaun prince will be a solid player FOREVER but will never be a star. Mehmet okur is garbage, and piston fans overrate him too much.
I'd love to add Memo to that list, but I think Darko's presence will keep his minutes down.... The same goes for Wagner with Lebron James in town. Wagner's minutes may actually go up, but he won't be asked to shoot it as much. Or rather, allowed to shoot it as much. I like Manu too, but if the Spurs sign a big time free-agent and/or Stephen Jackson continues to emerge, I think Ginobli's shots will stay down. My man out of Bahia Blanca is certainly capable of 15 a night, but will be lucky to have the chance to score 12.
I dont think tayshaun is overrated because i've never seen anyone overrate him. For the rest of his career he will be solid.
i dunno. after the nets series people just ssemed to think hses the next phenom or sumthin. hes not great. hes decent. nuthin special
i like nene's game and i think with a better point guard and melo taking on the offensive load, nene is going to get a lot of weakside dunks and be a force in the paint. i'm not sold on skeeta either. i just don't see the agressiveness or desire to want to be a star player from him. he just seems to do the bare minimum out on the court and isn't a playmaker. tayshaun needs to hit the weights. he did well in the playoffs, but after teams got to see some tape on him they quickly took advantage of his size. richard jefferson manhandled him in that series, i expect more the same this year. ginobili showed in the WCG and in the playoffs that he is a star. this guy makes huge plays on both ends of the court and doesn't back down from anyone. he's a gamer and he's going to be the starter next season. i don't expect sjax to resign and if he does, it's only a matter of time before ginobili takes his starting spot. i forgot drew gooden earlier. he's going to continue putting up double doubles just like he did in college. i'm sure we will see some 20-20 games from him this year. i don't like jeffries either. i thought he was very overrated coming out of college. his game is too predictable and he doesn't play well unless he is the focus of attack. his game is not nba level and he'll just be a career bench player.
