Where are the Power Rankings?????



I am going to hold my power rankings till tomorrow. I have to see the Magic first. Depending on the game tonight, the the 5th spot could be up for grabs. Just gonna give some quick thoughts on the Magic trades. Having had two days to sleep on it, listen to the media, and read everything I am prepared to give final thoughts before actually watching the game. I am not ready to give Arenas the starting job. I actually like having him come off the bench and playing with J.J. and Ryan Anderson. However I like him playing with Turk, JRich, and Dwight as well. I think Gilbert is a great insurance policy as well in the event Jameer gets injured. Richardson is a very good player, and really has been underrated because he played mostly in west coast and then in Charlotte. Not exactly a way to make a name for yourself. I like that he slashes. He is shooting great. His big and strong for the 2. Turk? Well he can play like he did here where the ball is in his hands and feels confident. He is fearless. You can not deny that. Plus, you can not teach 6'10". Is he lazy? Yes. Is he great? No. What he is, is someone who thrives in SVG's system. Yes he drives to the rim drops the ball and asks for a foul. It is frustrating. But you can not deny court vision. As for the whole backup center debate where everyone is flipping out over the fact we do not have one. Bass can play some minutes there. And we drafted Daniel Orton. He is just going to have grow up. Can he? I have no idea. But SVG turned Courtney Lee, who if we all remember started off horribly here, into the starting 2 for the Eastern Conference Champions. Between Bass, Orton, and Allen they can give Dwight a 12 minute break. And Dwight is just going to have to play smarter. And Clark, maybe having SVG in his ear will force him to grow up and work hard.
