NYC and Phili getting pwned

[jgod213]

Ok so ESPN make this article entitled "City High"  http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/features/cityhigh in which they made an "all city" team for 8 different cities in the US.

To qualify for the "city team," one must of graduated from a high school within that city, in the past 10 years.

The teams are as follows (I've ranked them, based on my opinion, from best to worst):
 
1) Baltimore
PG - Keith Bogans SG - Kevin Durant SF - Jeff Green PF - Rudy Gay C - Carmelo Anthony (someone has to play C) 6th man - Linas Kliza

2) Atlanta
PG - Louis Williams (or "Skip Lou" apparently) SG - Javaris Crittenton SF - Jarvis Hayes PF - Josh Smith C - Dwight Howard 6th man - Randolph Morris

3) L.A.
PG - Brandon Jennings SG - Gilbert Arenas SF - Josh Childress PF - Tayshaun Prince C - Ty Chandler 6th man - Jason Kapono

4) Chicago
PG - Derrick Rose SG - Dwayne Wade SF - Corey Maggette PF - Julian Wright C - Eddy Curry 6th man - Quinton Richardson

5) Seattle
PG - Martell Webster SG - Jamal Crawford SF - Brandon Roy PF - Marvin Williams C - Spencer Hawes 6th man - Nate Robinson

6) Houston
PG - TJ Ford  SG - Daniel Gibson SF - Gerald Green PF - Emeka Okefor C - Perk 6th man - Ndudi Ebi

7) NY
PG - Sebastian Telfair SG - Smush Parker SF - Ben Gordon PF - Julius Hodge C - CHarlie Villanueva 6th man - Andre Barrett

8 ) Phili
PG - Jameer Nelson SG - Marty Collins SF - Rasaul Butler PF - Hakeem Warrick C - Eddie Griffin 6th man Tyreke Evans


I had a tough time with teams 1 through 3.  Although I rated LA 3rd, i think they would certainly make up the best "team."  If these lineups were to play together, they seem like they would fit/gel together the best.

So how would you rate these 8? any surprises?  I'm shocked that NY couldnt field a better team than that, same goes for Phili.

sadly, boston's amateur basketball scene, like most of new england, is WEAK.

I like that Atlanta team.

Isn't Rashard Lewis from Houston? I remember him being very disappointed his hometown Rockets didn't draft him and end his green room hell.
