CB Draft 2011 Southeast Divison Press Conferences

Not entirely sure how having an all nba center-- who is now moved to his more natural position-- and a top 5 2 guard means I have no go to guy.

Horford is an all nba center and a more natural PF, but he's not an all nba PF.  He's probably the 8th best PF.

I have Gordon ranked 7th or 8th among SGs behind Wade, Kobe, Iggy, Johnson, Ray, Manu and roughly equal to Ellis.

So your best 2 players are roughly the 8th best at their respective positions in a 24 team league.

And no one else in the division has a PF tall enough and good enough to defend the pick and roll between Aldridge and Granger.   

Maybe I haven't seen enough of Granger, but has he shown that he's a good pick and roll player?  That's not the type of player I'm picturing in my head when I recall my experience watching him.

The way I see it:

1.  Washington - Considerably above the rest of the teams.  Great job constructing that team.

2a.  Orlando - I love CP3, but don't like the fitting pieces around him which make quite a bit of separation between Orlando and Washington.

2b.  Miami - This team is going to score, but also give up a lot of points.

4.  Atlanta - Definitely a learning experience and look forward to having an improved and very active GM back next year.  A few trades giving up too much value because of taking poster criticism to heart is what hurt this team.
