2000-01 North Raleigh Winesippers

• Point Guards: L. Hunter, M. Jackson: Hunter may have the lowest assists for a starting PG (327). His shooting is about average for the rest of the PG's in the league. He is not afraid to put up a 3 and he actually shoots better from the 3 than any where on the floor. Hunter is fantastic defensively. On the other hand, Jackson is an excellent PG. He has 650 assists to back it up. Major draw back with Jackson is that he plays defense like a broken barn door.  Rating: 7.0/10.0
• Shooting Guards: B. Barry, C. Mills: Not a glamour position on this team, but the numbers are pretty good. Barry is surprisingly accurate on his shots. Mills will be only available 649 minutes, which leads to believe Shane has other plans at SG.  Rating 5.0/10.0
• Small Forwards: B. Russell, W. Williams: Russell is a very good SF. He lost a step defensively but has enough rebounds and steals to make up for it. He leads this team with 914 shots. And other than Mills, he leads this team in scoring. Williams is a very respectable sub. Not much to talk about except, if you have Jackson and Williams on the floor together, its like ringing the dinner bell to a bunch of wolves.   Rating 6.0/10.0
• Power Forwards: J. Williams, J. Caffey: Williams is a monster. If there was anything wrong with his shooting, its the fact that he doesn't shoot that much. Teams will try to avoid the dunks by putting Williams to the line. Caffey is a very good sub, but suffers the same phobia as Williams at the line.   Rating 7.0/10.0
• Centers: V. Divac, B. Reeves: Divac is a fine center. Solid stats all the way around. He is a player that gives this team some identity. Reeves helps clog up the middle but is a backup at the most.   Rating 7.5/10.0
• Bench: Shane has a well balanced team. Overall team shooting is above average. This may be the only team in the league that could win games with their bench. The biggest problem is that it is hard to separate the starters from the backups. Rating 7.5/10.0
• Management: Shane is entering his 2nd season and did a great job last year. If the GLBA had a coach of the year, Shane would have won it in a landslide. He took a team of no names to the playoffs and surprised everyone. He submits manager profiles every day and is on-line almost 24x7. He expresses his opinions to the entire league and he makes trades with anybody. Now that's participation!. If there was an owner I needed to get any team in the playoffs, Shane would be that owner. It is uncertain whether Shane loves basketball, loves the GLBA, or has nothing better to do with his time. But there is one thing for sure. Shane is one the of best owners the GLBA has ever had.  Rating: 10.0/10.0
• Total rating: 50.0/70.0
• Predicted Record and Finish: 49-23, 1st Place
