2000-01 Toledo Rockets

• Point Guards: S. Marbury, C. Atkins: Cry baby #1, Marbury leads this team in almost every offensive category. This might be a bad thing with all the good defensive PG's With 270 turnovers, it seems Marbury will have the ball in his hands all the time. Atkins should do see some playing time here and at SG. Defense is the same as Marbury.    Rating: 6.5/10.0
• Shooting Guards: A. Hardaway, D. Curry:  Cry baby #2, Hardaway, should help Marbury put some points on the board. Injuries slowed Hardaway down again this year. Curry lost his shooting touch last year and his numbers reflect that. Toledo can play Atkins and Rose here as well, but both of those guys are not typical SG's. Rating 6.0/10.0
• Small Forwards: J. Rose, C. Williamson: Rose finally busted out to be a star. He is another scoring threat. The biggest difference between him and Marbury or Hardaway, is that Rose will make the important shots. The other 2 will just shoot. Rose will win some games for Toledo. Rose had to give up something to get the offense and that is the defense. Williamson is a sometimes forgotten player with great ability and numbers.   Rating 8.5/10.0
• Power Forwards: D. Nowitzki, M. Bullard: Nowitzki was a pleasant pick up last year and turned out to be a pretty decent player. He will hold his own against must power forwards. Bullard is at best a backup. Lets hope Dave uses other options here.  Rating 6.5/10.0
• Centers: S. Bradley, K. Cato: If Bradley wasn't hurt every year, he would be a dominating center in this league. He has the touch from the field and the defense to intimidate anyone. Cato adds an impressive formula of stats and defense. I'm afraid minutes will be the main factor in defending these two .  Rating 7.0/10.0
• Bench: Last year, Toledo had problems fielding a team. This year is better, but they are still pretty low across the board. They are light at PG but have options at all the other positions.  Rating 4.0/10.0
• Management: Dave joined us a couple of years ago and is slowly constructing a formable team. He's been a little missing in action this year but it is obvious he is monitoring his team. This year is very important that he watch his team very closely or else he will run out of minutes again and it will be a long season for Toledo. If Dave sticks to his plan, he will have a playoff bound team next year. Dave seems to be excited to play in this league, which is always a welcomed sight.   Rating: 7.0/10.0
• Total rating: 45.5/70.0
• Predicted Record and Finish: 36-36, 3rd Place
