Time for another bad article. I stole this idea from someone in UOSL. Thanks to whoever that was
Boston Celtics- Emeka Okafor. Tough one here with Wade on the roster but Okafor is still a dominant presence, being amongst the leagues best in BPG and can still score and rebound very well.
Miami Heat- Ricky Rubio. Miami's roster is full of young talent, but Rubio is the adhesive that keeps the team together. Despite his TO's being a bit high, Rubio is still a very tough matchup for any team not named the Knicks.
New Jersey Nets- Tie KD/Augustin. Incredibly tough to differentiate the two in this case. Augustin boasts an astounding assist to turnover ratio of nearly 9:1 and is one of the most efficient players this version of BBS has seen, while Durant is the biggest offensive threat in the league and has averaged over 30 ppg last season
New York Knicks- Derrick Rose. No explanation necessary.
Orlando Magic- Lance Stephenson. Great scorer that can defend and is only going to get better. Another tough one with Warren/ Machata on the roster, but for the time being Lance is the most stable/ developed player on the roster.
Philadelphia 76'ers- DeJuan Blair. Puts up 20/10 in his sleep to go along with 3 BPG. Blair never seems to have a bad game is a true matchup nightmare for any team.
Washington Wizards- Chris Paul. Still one of the best PG's in the league and lead the Wizards to a playoff birth despite the Wiz not having much star power other than Paul.
Atlanta Hawks- Greg Oden. Points, rebounds, blocks. He does it all. He'll be gone by Day 20.
New Orleans Hornets- Blake Griffin. ewww. Scores and rebounds well, but his 41% shooting from the field was an eye sore last season.
Chicago Bulls- Kenny Boynton. Really tough here with a bunch of young players who are far from fully developed but Boynton had the best season for the Baby Bulls last season.
Cleveland Cavaliers- Nathaniel Davidson. Despite not being highly touted in the draft last year Davidson had a very efficient season last year, especially for a rookie and is expected to improve.
Detroit Pistons- LeBron James. What can't he do?
Indiana Pacers- Ivan Chiraiev. The Pacers had by most accounts a very good season all things considered. While Walker had a season Chiraiev was the go to guy that put the Pacers over the top.
Milwaukee Bucks- Josh Smith. Another one of those matchup nightmares who plays very physically down low. Smith's game is really only comparable to Blair at the PF position.
Toronto Raptors- Renardo Sydney. Simmed pretty damn well at PG towards the end of the season. Amazing ratings across the board. Expect him to have a break out season if he plays at a position other than Center.
Dallas Mavericks- Jared McGahee. McGahee has yet to see a minute of action in BBS but should be a star to build around.
Denver Nuggets- Dwight Howard. Another double double machine who single handedly keeps the Nuggets in the playoff race year after year.
Houston Rockets- Gilbert Arenas. The newly acquired guard may be over the hill but is still a great scorer and should make the Rockets a significantly better team.
Minnesota Wolves- Austin Rivers. The former number 1 overall pick has gotten steadily better with each passing TC and shows no signs of slowing down.
San Antonion Spurs- Patrick Patterson. Pretty much a toss up between PP and Evans. Both are very good, but not great players who are going to keep the Spurs in the race for the last few playoff spots in the West.
Utah Jazz- Delvon Roe. Another tough one involving a team that has good but not great players. Roe is an efficient scorer who has very good defensive statistics as well.
Memphis Grizzlies- Thaddeus Young. Best player on a not so good team.
Golden State Warriors- Azuolas Kanauskas. The number 2 overall this year should give the Warriors something to look forward to in the future.
Los Angeles Clippers- Big Al. Extremely tough decision here but Big Al is a true difference maker down low. Essentially a tie between him and Parker. Those two are just slightly better than Singleton, who could easily become the teams MVP after another TC or two.
Los Angeles Lakers- LaQuniton Ross. Look at the damn ratings. He's 23.
Phoenix Suns- Avery Bradley.
Portland Trailblazers- Devereux St. Cloud. A future superstar who had a solid rookie season and even got the Midseason Progression. Dan is a lucky asshole.
Sacramento Kings- Iarere Ballantyne. The Kings roster is pretty poor outside of this years number 1 overall pick. Expect him to have an instant impact and be a star for years to come.
Seattle Supersonic- Fisher or Favors? You make the call. Both are great players and it's scary to think they most likely aren't in their primes yet. It's pretty easy to see why the Sonics made the BBS Finals with those two on the roster.
Boston Celtics- Emeka Okafor. Tough one here with Wade on the roster but Okafor is still a dominant presence, being amongst the leagues best in BPG and can still score and rebound very well.
Miami Heat- Ricky Rubio. Miami's roster is full of young talent, but Rubio is the adhesive that keeps the team together. Despite his TO's being a bit high, Rubio is still a very tough matchup for any team not named the Knicks.
