Title: Pre-Training Camp discussion....
Post by: GoldenStateGM on July 17, 2005, 11:51:57 AM
Like everyone else, hoping for  a good TC, which will make all the difference to my team.
Think Araujo will drop to C potential, but I think he may go up to an A inside.
If Stromile can improve his rebounding that would be great.  Hope at least he does not drop this TC.
Turkoglu, I hope, keeps his defense at an A-...
Hinkle, I am hoping, can move up one or two abilities.  Defense is one, and I think he will go up in one offensive category, because of his incredible shooting percentage last year.
Hinrich, I would be happy if he stayed the same.  As long as he does not lose any abilities, I think he could be an All-Star this year.  Improvement in any category would be fantastic...
Hoping Devin Fauber, even with that C potential, can move up in rebounding.  Hoping he will replace Foyle in a year or two...
Just hope Jaric and Foyle do not drop this TC...

My wishes for training camp are:

 - Kandi to improve to B- inside.
 - Boozer to go to A_ in either Inside or defense.
 - Varejao to go to B defense
 - Deion Robinson, Mark Schwartz and Patrick Doleac to turn those C+'s to B-'s
 - Udonis Haslem to get more defense or rebounding
 - Summitt to get to B inside
 - Bibby not to drop
 - Ellis not to drop, maybe get B handle
 - Damon Stoud. not to drop
 - Ward not to drop
 - Antonio Burks to improve at least 2 of those C+'s


Hopefully at least 3 or 4 of these will happen!

2 wishes

Like every TC, I want Tanner to improve (but my hopes aren't up this TC)

Ivan Strong is my other wish, I need a scorer badly and I want Ivan to get to a B in one of the defensive categories and up to a C+ (B- would be nice) defensively so I can play him a lot of minutes

Other than that Gadz improving would be nice and Josh Smith and Iggy improving in a few categories to make them more of threats off the bench

Schabinger needs to prove that he's the man over daniels despite ratings and any improvements would seal the deal. Booth needs to stay the same if not improve from a C to a C+ inside. Or at least get rid of that D- handling, yuck. Hughes better stay the same with that contract I have on him and if murphy has any net improvement I'd be very happy. If Meyers could improve in one area I'd be greatly obliged as he is now set as my back-up SG.

I'd be happy if just one of my back-up inside guys would improve.

This is the time i hate the most. Some kind of a panic and fear hits me everytime TC comes. You built the team and just when you think you have all A- on defense in your starting lineup everytime somene declines. I hate that. I would like the things to stay as they are, at least i know what i have.

So, here are some of my modest wishes:

No one from the starting lineup declines on defense, i don't care about offense and handles, just please no declines on defense.

Like every year, I want either Okafor or Dalembert to go to a C- or better outside, so I can put them at PF without them being a complete liability.  Like most other years, I will most likely be disappointed.

I can't really ask for Pettit to improve anymore.  That would just be greedy.

I pray Billups doesn't go down at all.  Dial improving would be a very pleasant surprise.

I have 4 A potentials and 5 B potentials... so I am hoping for a good TC.

What am I wishing for?
- Baylor becoming a pf who can play good backup minutes.
- Childress getting better at inside scoring
- Gordon improving his handles on the way to becoming an all star
- Starters not declining

Post by: SonicsGM on July 17, 2005, 05:23:39 PM
Sonics have 8, yes eight, A potential players (five are current starters) and two B potential players.

Here's what I hope for:

A Potential Players...
Nick Collison - inside to A- and defense to B+
Luol Deng - Inside to B and defense to A
Trent Kundla - inside to C+ and Defense to A
Nicklas English - Defense to B+
Cameron Stockton - improvements anywhere
Jim Finley - defense to A and rebounding to B-
George Boykins - inside to B+ and defense to B
Darius Perry - improvements anywhere

B Potential Players...
Roberto Dickau - Defense to B+
Steve Blake - Defense to B+

The rest...
I just hope they do not decline, especially Joe Smith and Chase Hoiberg (Defense and rebounding)
