    Center - Shot blocking [2/gm] Points [12~17] steals [1] asst [2] rbs [10]
    . . . I think Solid Defense and smart play are
    the catch phrases for centers. Good lateral
    movement and the ability to catch passes with
    some consistancy.

    P.Forward - Shot Blocking [.5] points [19~25] steals [1] Asst [4] rbs [12]
    . . . More offense. more rebounding Strong
    'credible' defense. Ability to penetrate a
    plus. need a midrange game.

    S.Forward -shot blocking [.5] points [18~26] Steals [2~3] Asst [3~4] Rbs [8~10]
    . . . Ability to create own shot. penetrate
    and shot a consistant jumper. 3 pt range a
    plus . . .KNOWING RANGE A BONUS. Good D. good
    help defender. Good at running on breaks and
    nice finisher. WON'T GET TORCHED on defense.

    S Guard pts [24] Steals [3] asst [4] Rbs [4]
    . . . Consistant production with decent defense.

    P Guard pts [28] Steals [3] Asst [8] Rbs [4]


    This has us at about 101 pts a game.
    this is PER POSITION - Starter and Back up

    You want our center to average a strong double double, as well as our PF, and also expect the SF to get 18-26 points plus 8-10 boards per contest?

    WOW, we would be GREAT! But what teams are doing that now? I don't think there is a team in the league that is getting that type of production from their starting five. Correct me if I am wrong here.

    Honestly, I have high expectations of our players, but we are going to experience some growing pains at the center and small forward spots. The power forward slot is also up in the air right now.

    We could always sign Buck Johnson again....He's always been our SF when we couldn't find somebody to fill that role.

    Hoop-T not to be rude but
    did you read all the way to the end?

    These numbers are not for the Starters
    but for the Startes *AND* the Bench

    I want the CENTER POSITION to ave a strong
    Double Double.

    I think Cato and Collier
    SHOULD/COULD Avg those numbers

    As could KT AND LOS at PF

    ONCE AGAIN - it is not from just the starters
    but the starters and their backups

    WHEW, you had me worried! I thought I read the whole thing, but I must have skimmed the last part.

    I would love for our center(s) to be able to get that type of production. Too much speculation right now as to who our center will be. I hope Cato is out and out quick. Hakeem may or may not be back, and Collier.....well, we'll have to wait and see.

    Too much uncertainty.....I need stability in my life. I can't take it anymore.
