Brooklyn Ballers |On Hiatus (again)

US SOUTHWEST
The US Southeast region have some decent talents, when it comes to offense they have some top players.

Abdullah McDonald|Pos:SF|HT:6'7|WT:200|Age:23|

Strengths: Vertical,Dunking
Weaknesses: Offensive and Defensive rebounding, Threepoint shooting
Insight: His athleticism is above average unfortunately he rely on that too much. He needs to work on his jumpshots or else he might be the next Gerald Green.

Projected: Second Round

Brooks Ferrer|Pos:C|HT:7'0|WT:257|Age:21|

Strengths: Speed,Offensive Awareness,Strength
Weaknesses: Defensive Awareness, Vertical
Insight: For a man of his size he runs the floor well. He can be a decent center in the league but he need to focus on his defensive skills to be much effective.
Projected: Late First Round

Dickey Pardo|Pos:C|HT:7'0|WT:268|Age:23|

Strengths: Freethrows,Vertical,Blocking
Weaknesses: Stealing,Stamina
Insight: A very good defender, he got the knack of blocking shots. He might want to work on his stamina because it's his biggest weakness.
Projected: Second Round

Karl Cooper|Pos:PG|HT:6'2|WT:192|Age:23|

Strengths: Mid Range, Threepoint Shooting
Weaknesses: Strength, Defensive Awareness
Insight: This guy is one of the best shooting touch in the draft. He is more of a scoring guard than the regular passing guard. He is liability on the defensive end and needs to work on it.
Projected: Top 10

Kyle Cunningham|Pos:SG|HT:6'3|WT:200|Age:22|

Strengths: Dunking,Stealing,Stamina
Weaknesses: Rebounding,Defensive Awareness
Insight: Another superb athlete in the draft. He reminds me a little bit of Steve Francis. He need to be consistent on his jumpshots and also he need to work on his defense.
Projected: Top 10

lol none of those guys plays D ...

Brooklyn (AP) -- After stopping their 14 game losing yesterday against the Indiana Pacers, the Brooklyn Ballers continue their winning ways tonight against the Phoenix Suns.

It is said that this was going to be a battle of the Allstars Stephon Marbury and Steve Nash but both player struggled and did not show their A game. Marbury however show some brilliance after he scored the last 7 points of the Ballers which led them to victory.

Marbury got an unusual help from David Noel who is filling in for the injured Darius Miles who will be out for the rest of the season.

Nash and his partner Amare Stoudemire did not show their usual game. Grant Hill and Leandro Barbosa led the Suns but this was not enough for them to get the win.

Fixed

Europe
The Ballers scout decided to take a look at some of the talents in Europe and he is most impressed by this guys.

Andro Gil|Pos:C|HT:7'1|WT:275|Age:23|

Strengths: Vertical,Rebounding
Weaknesses: Stealing, Quickness, Ballhandling
Insight: The most dominant big man in Europe, with his frame he can easily out fight anyone in the boards. He might want some work on his offensive moves but for now he is decent center to draft.
Projected: First Round

Apostolis Kanioridis|Pos:PG|HT:6'1|WT:213|Age:22|

Strengths: Speed,Ballhandling,Passing
Weaknesses: Strength,Vertical,Rebounding
Insight: The Steve Nash of European basketball, in short he is the best playmaker out there. He might show some comparisons with Nash but he is not that tough like him also his decision making needs improvement.
Projected: Top 20

Nikita Ushakov|Pos:SF|HT:6'8|WT:232|Age:21|

Strengths: Quickness,Speed,Vertical
Weaknesses: Offensive Awareness,Defensive Awareness
Insight: A speed freak, he is only new to the game but he is learning fast. He is still raw in offense and defense but with his high potential it's hard to missed out on this kid
Projected: First Round

Africa
While in Europe the scout decided too went on to look at the talents on Africa, unfortunately there is only two.

Dee Ahidjo|Pos:PF|HT:6'9|WT:220|Age:23|

Strengths: Mid Range, Defensive Awareness, Dunking
Weaknesses: Rebounds, Quickness, Passing
Insight: Well he is a good offensive player, he got a decent mid range jumper and sometimes he can pull out for an open. But he is a liability on defense and doesn't grab many rebounds.
Projected: Second Round

Tafuma Chidziva|Pos:SG|HT:6'9|WT:230|Age:22|

Strengths: Dunking,Stealing,Vertical
Weaknesses: Rebounding,Passing
Insight: He mostly amazed everyone with his dunks and good post moves but that's all he got. He need to work on his rebounding to play in the league.
Projected: Second Round

Last game disaster

April 16, 2010
Boston (AP) -- The last game of the season for the Brooklyn Ballers ended in a disappointing loss against the Boston Celtics. Kevin Garnett had a big double-double to led his team for their 4th straight win.

"We need to make a statement going into the playoffs." Pierce said. Paul Pierce struggled in this game and scored only 6 points. Kendrick Perkins also had a nice game with his 17 points. While Nate Robinson added 16 off the bench.

"We were overpowered in the game, clearly we need to have some major improvements next season." Marbury said.
Stephon Marbury led his team with 23 points, David Noel continues his fine play and chipped in 18 points.

Phoenix?
Bad season for Ballers

Tough end to the season man. Expecting a quick playoff recap so you can get to the offseason!

Rough first season. Its a shame you don't have rookies, but I look forward to seeing what you do here.

Very quick man

Rough first season. Its a shame you don't have rookies, but I look forward to seeing what you do here.

I will have 3 draft picks in the next draft

NLSC
For the last trip of the Ballers scout he decided to take a look at some NLSC players who decided to participate in the draft. Only three players decided to go pro and all of them are projected first rounders.

Kenny "badreligionau" Young|Pos:SF|HT:6'6|WT:213|Age:23|

Strengths: Threepoint Shooting,Freethrows,Dunking
Weaknesses: Rebounding, Strength, Ballhandling
Insight: The Aussie shooter, Young can hurt opposing team with his ability to knock down threepointers. Surprisingly he can perform amazing dunks in the open floor. But he need to gain some more muscle and he need to work on his ball handling.
Projected: Top 15

Thierry "Thierry." Tirieux|Pos:PG|HT:6'0|WT:210|Age:24|

Strengths: Mid Range,Freethrows,Defensive Awareness
Weaknesses: Post skills,Vertical,Rebounding
Insight: Thierry Tirieux from France, maybe a better version of Tony Parker. He got the skills to be an allstar pointguard but it all comes down whether he can finish his mission or not.
Projected: Top 10

Josh "De8" Oliveira|Pos:SG|HT:6'6|WT:220|Age:23|

Strengths: Midrange,Speed,Vertical
Weaknesses: Toughness,Defensive Awareness,Passing
Insight: A player who likes to run on screens, he perfected his mid range jumper. He will be very hard to stop when he gets it going. He is a turnover prone and a little injury prone.
Projected: Top 20

Top 10, nice

They all are pretty good prospect. If you come upon one of them would you pick them up?

Top 10, nice

Maybe you will fall to late first round, 08 draft is pretty dumb

They all are pretty good prospect. If you come upon one of them would you pick them up?

Nope

Kobe leading his team to the promise land.
But if you won't pick a NLSC Baller who do you have in mind?

Brooklyn Ballers 09-10 Review

Team Record: 22-60-----------------Rank:30th

Robert Swift|C|8.8 PPG|8.9 RPG|2.9 APG|0.99 SPG|1.4 BPG
Insight: I expected this guy to have at least 10 RPG but 8.9 is acceptable. He is a free agent now if we decided to resign him then he must produce good numbers.

Brian Cook|PF|15.1 PPG|7.6 RPG|1.1 APG|1.34 SPG|1.18 BPG
Insight: Out of all players this guy impresses me the most, he really is one of the most consistent player we had all year. He is a free agent but I'm sure he will be in the Ballers uniform next season.

Darius Miles|SF|7.2 PPG|4.6 RPG|0.8 APG|1.34 SPG|1.43 BPG
Insight: Well he is still injured even though the season is over, he is a pretty decent defender and he is also a free agent but with a strong draft coming up and maybe we can sign a better player than him in the offseason.

Morris Almond|SG|14.8 PPG|2.6 RPG|3.7 APG|1.81 SPG|0.88 BPG
Insight: He had a decent year, I thought he will be the second scorer in the team but still he had some big games for us. I think he still has a lot of room to improve.

Stephon Marbury|PG|24.1 PPG|3.4 RPG|7.8 APG|1.65 SPG|0.60 BPG
Insight: The leader of this team, he is once again an allstar. He might not take us to the playoffs but without him this team might not get the 20 wins.

Kyle Korver|SG|10.1 PPG|2.1 RPG|1.2 APG|0.93 SPG|0.43 BPG
Insight: Acquired in a trade with a first round pick from Utah, Korver provides the team with the scoring off the bench. He is also a free agent but we will surely resign him.

Will Conroy|PG|3.6 PPG|0.7 RPG|1.0 APG|0.31 SPG|0.13 BPG
Insight: He was supposed to be the 6th man of the team, he have the minutes early in the season but with his poor performance and the acquisition of Korver his minutes went down. As a free agent his status on the team is poor.

Brian Cardinal|PF|5.8 PPG|2.7 RPG|0.5 APG|0.50 SPG|0.22 BPG
Insight: His numbers are pretty decent even if he have limited minutes to play. But he is undersized for his position and with so many other players in the free agent pool. We might take somebody else than him.

Michael Olowokandi|C|4.4 PPG|4.3 RPG|1.6 APG|0.53 SPG|0.64 BPG
Insight: Well he did prove at some point that he can play. His more comfortable at the bench than a starter, signing him won't hurt the team.

Dwayne Jones|C|1.4 PPG|1.7 RPG|0.6 APG|0.12 SPG|0.35 BPG
Insight: He played only a number of games, but he is one reliable player.

Sun Yue|SG|1.3 PPG|0.7 RPG|0.1 APG|0.11 SPG|0 BPG
Insight: Another one who rarely play a game, but I believe that this guy can be something special. He just need to work hard.

Rob Kurz|PF|1.6 PPG|1.2 RPG|0.3 APG|0.14 SPG|0.14 BPG
Insight: He only played 5 games in the season and being a free agent, well I'm sure he can play for the other teams.

Chapter 4

Everybody is already ready to go on vacation in the Ballers team. As expected they did not make the playoffs and they are the worst team in the league.

Brian Cook is packing up his stuffs when Julian Martin went on to talk to him.

“You had a very good season Brian, I know you’re a free agent but I would like to see you on this team again.” Julian said.

“Well to tell you the truth sir I’m planning to test the free agent, maybe I can be in a winning team.” Cook said.

Darius Miles overheard them and just intervene the conversation. “Sir I’m planning to test the free agency too.”

And the others also expressed their feelings to test the free agent this summer. Robert Swift, Brian Cardinal, Will Conroy, and Rob Kurz have no plans on resigning the team.

“What? After I give you guys a career your all going to betray me? How about you Korver,Noel and Jones are you with them.” Julian said furiously.

No body answered instead they just bow their heads and walk away.

“Hey where are you going I’m not finish with you guys.”

“Shut up Julian, stay calm.” Ewing said. “This is just normal in a team, you are new to this job and you have to know how to respect the player’s decisions.”

Upon hearing that Julian calm down, he ordered his players to take a vacation and think about their decisions.

“What bad luck, how do I expect to have a team when all of my players are going to leave.” Julian said to himself as he drives on his way to the 2010 Draft Lottery.

The Ballers had the best chance to get the first pick of the NBA Draft.They also have the first round pick of the Utah Jazz.

The twelve pick goes to Indiana Pacers, eleventh LA Clippers, tenth Sacramento Kings and the ninth pick goes to the Brooklyn Ballers.

Julian get’s a little frustrated, he was hoping the Utah’s pick can go higher. The other teams get called and they were only down to the top 3. Golden State, Houston and Brooklyn.
Commissioner David Stern open the envelope for the third pick goes to the Golden State Warriors. The second pick goes to the Houston Rockets and that means that the Brooklyn Ballers will get the first pick on the 2010 NBA Draft.

Julian was so happy that he is jumping on the stage. “Damn what good luck I have.” He said to himself.

Julian was going to call Jay-Z to tell him the good news when he heard someone yelling at him.

“Yo sir, Yo sir.” A black guy said. “I’m looking forward to play on your team sir.”

“Who is that guy?” Julian asked his scout.

“Shelton Smith sir, he is proclaiming that he is the player on the draft. A very cocky kid sir.”

“Okay, I like that guy.” Julian said and he leaves the building.

Whew! Been out for a while and i missed this updates! The no. 1 draft pick is really a chance for your team. Pick the most out of the list. And another cocky player coming in the league. Exciting

Deja Vu at finals.

Any Chance Dwyane Jones will get some more minutes?

nice '09-10 player review

not sure why that Julian guy was complaining about losing his scrubs when he has two top ten picks (including 1st pick) in the draft; anyway, you should be able to seriously upgrade your roster now with draft picks and in free agency and not end up at the bottom of the barrel, so that's good
