Note for "the Other Guys"
Centers
Mikki Moore - Decent scoring around the basket. Above average jump shot. Solid defender, good strength, and good defensive rebounder.
Fabricio Oberto - Good post defender. Pretty strong. Average rebounder.
Scot Pollard - Very good strength. Some shot-blocking. Average rebounder with a good jump shot.
Kelvin Cato - Not a scorer. Very good defender with good shot-blocking. Very strong. Good defensive rebounder. Upside is questionable.
Tony Battie - Decent defender, shot-blocker, and rebounder. Takes care of the ball.
Adonal Foyle - Terrible shooter. No offensive game. Good shot-blocker and rebounds well. Limited upside.
Power Forwards
Maurice Taylor - Extremely strong. Powerhouse around the basket. Decent jump shot and quickness. Lackluster defense and rebounding.
Austin Croshere - Stretches the floor well. Great jump shot with good range past the arc. Good rebounder. Takes care of the ball.
Danny Fortson - Excellent rebounder. Good strength, quickness, and post defense. Might contribute a little in the scoring department.
Tim Thomas - Decent scorer inside and mid-range. Might take too many 3s. Slates to be a combo forward considering his quickness. Struggles with rebounding. A bit of upside here.
Small Forwards
Ira Newble - Average all-around. Might get a steal and rebounds at a higher rate than normal.
Shooting Guards
Derek Anderson - Very good project player. Nice jump shot. Gets some steals. Decent rebounder. Handles need work. Some upside.
Ron Mercer - Scouts love him as an inside-oriented system player. Can't shoot 3s. Scores well around the basket and plays very good defense. Very good at creating turnovers. Below-average rebounder.
Sarunas Jasikevicius - Best shooter in the draft. Decent playmaking skills. Subpar defender and rebounder.
Alvin Williams - Scores a bit inside and out. Quick. Not much else.
Tariq Abdul-Wahad - Good defense and rebounding with a developing jump shot. Not a good 3P shooter. Might provide a solid combination of stocks.
Point Guards
Damon Jones - Good shooter. Takes care of the ball. Doesn't provide anything else.
Troy Hudson - Similar to Damon Jones but worse beyond the arc. Might get a steal.
God Shammgod - Flashy player that might struggle at the pro level. Killer crossover to get to the basket but needs a lot of work with his decision-making. Upside is a big question mark.
Bobby Jackson - Great sixth man written all over him. Decent scorer inside and a very solid outside game. Handles are okay. Slates to be more of a combo guard most likely.
Antonio Daniels - Kind of like a worse mix of Bobby Jackson and Troy Hudson. Might develop into a decent back-up.
