Notes for "the Other Guys"

Centers

Raef LaFrentz - Good stretch big man. Scores well inside and out. Will get some blocks. Good strength and decent rebounder.

Nazr Mohammed - Very good defender in the post. Good rebounder. Won't contribute offensively.

Robert Traylor - Tractor is a large man with a lot of girth. Decent scoring down low using said girth. Decent defender and rebounder. Very slow. Jump shot is not good.

Keon Clark - Very good defender who will block shots. Handles are a bit of a concern. Solid rebounder. Good quickness for a big man.

Rasho Nesterovic - Built in the prototypical big man vein. Decent scoring down low, good defender, some blocks, good rebounder. Not a lot of upside but should be a good depth big man.


Power Forwards

Al Harrington - Very raw. Doesn't do anything well but has a baseline to be a good player with proper development. Future is likely at SF. Handles are iffy. Decent steals and rebounding. Good upside.

Brian Skinner - Similar to Nesterovic, just with worse handles and higher upside. Plays defense, blocks shots, and rebounds pretty well.

Slava Medvedenko - Good offensive big man with some decent rebounding. Good jump shot. Not a great defender, but might get some steals.

Pat Garrity - Good shooter. Not much else.


Small Forwards

Matt Harpring - Well-rounded player. Decent scoring inside and out. Some steals, solid all-around defense, and above-average rebounder. Handles could use some work.

Ruben Patterson - Very good defender. Should get some nice stocks. Good strength and decent quickness. Not great offensively. Can score a little inside but outside game is severely lacking. Some rebounding.

Tyrone Nesby - Good scorer with some steals. Good handles and quickness. Could be a nice rotation guy.


Shooting Guards

Bonzi Wells - Fun player that does a lot of things. Good scorer on the inside. Good rebounder for a guard. Handles are spotty and outside game needs some work, but could be a nice Inside option guy that's a plus rebounder at the 2.

Cuttino Mobley - Nice scoring potential for Cat. Good shooter. Decent handling and quickness with some court vision. Not a good defender or rebounder.

Michael Dickerson - Polished scorer with limited upside. Some turnover concerns.

Greg Buckner - Good defender with a decent jump shot. Some steals.


Point Guards

Earl Boykins - Extremely quick. Good shooter. Won't pass much. Not a good defender.

Tyronn Lue - Good jump shot. Good handles and quickness. Could be a solid game manager type PG.

Rafer Alston - Good jump shot, handles, quickness. Decent court vision. Should get some steals.

Mike James - Good scoring PG that probably has a brighter future as a combo guard. Could be a nice sixth man type.

Anthony Carter - Decent on the defensive end. Some steals. Offensive game is lacking.

Shammond Williams - Good shooter with some steals. Could be a nice rotation guy.
