From DALLAS to ORLANDO! (NBA Live 06)

[KOBE#8]

Wow something amazing is coming....

[Marquis]

Milwaukee Bucks
Charlotte Bobcats
New York Knicks
Minnesota Timberwolves
Portland Trail Blazers
New Orleans Hornets
Chicago Bulls
Washington Wizards
Los Angeles Lakers
Atlanta Hawks
Seattle SuperSonics
Sacramento Kings
Orlando Magic
Los Angeles Clippers




Milwaukee Bucks again have won the 1st pick in the lottery draft after not succesful season, despite that they drafted Andrew Bogut previous year with the 1st overall.
NEED: Decent PG, Any defensive player.



Charlotte Bobcats had a bad year. It is only 2nd year in this club history, so the new chances are given to Bobcats with the 2nd pick.
NEED: Scoring machine, Shooting guard would be perfect.



New York Knicks. Trades do nothing to this team, because Knicks are at the bottom another year. Some luck here, they were projected to 8th pick, but had 3rd.
NEED: Some good perimeter player.



Minnesota Timberwolves had one of the worst season in its franchise. And now they are able to pick som good player, maybe another Garnett..
NEED: Guards. PG and SG position are really poor.



Portland Trail Blazers had another bad year, and the future is misty for their.
NEED: Maybe agood center, maybe some good Guards.



New Orleans Hornets had almost a playoff year, but at the end of the season lost a lot of games and got the 6th pick at this year draft.
NEED: Great power near the basket. SF position also would be good.



Chicago Bulls after one great season didn't manage to go to playoffs this year, so they got 7th pick.
NEED: Power Forward position is really needed.



Washington Wizards's story is almost the same as Chicago Bulls, after good year - bad year.
NEED: Really good center.



Los Angeles Lakers didn't go to playoffs another year, despite the superstar Kobe Bryant.
NEED: PG! really good PG!



Atlanta Hawks got Joe Johnson last offseason and they didn't play poor, just normal result for such young team.
NEED: Good center



Seattle SuperSonics after brilliant season had bad offseason and bad year, so they got 11th pick.
NEED: Frouncourt with great rebounding skills.



Sacramento Kings had left playoffs after the long time, so they need changes.
NEED: Probably there is not one very weak position.



Orlando Magic seems they don't find their game with Dwight Howard.
NEED: SF position, maybe another Tracy McGrady.



Los Angeles Clippers was within an ace of playoffs, so I think they will do better next year.
NEED: Solid bench players.

Scouting Reports

Howard Ivkovic


Age: 23
Height: 6'1" / 185 cm.
Weight: 205 lbs. / 93 kg.
Position: SG, PG
Birth Place: Klaipeda, Lithuania
Scool: BC Zalgiris
Best case scenario: Tony Parker
Worst case scenario: Dajuan Wagner


Dallas Mavericks is very interested in this guy, because he is very perspective and can become great player in the future. Some scouts compare him to Tony Parker. Another factor, that he is from Lithuania and GM of Dallas Mavericks likes him very much and and know how to make him play well.

Howard Ivkovic started his profesional carrier at his hometown Klaipeda in the BC Neptunas. Later BC Zalgiris Kaunas showed a lot of interest in this player, because he was playing better and better. Howard became the MVP in the Euroleague , the league in which Zalgiris plays, so now he is ready for more challenges, for playing in NBA.

Howard Ivkovic is projected to be drafted at the end of 1st round of the draft, so Mavericks are willing to draft him with the 28th pick.

Anani Hughes


Age: 22
Height: 6'8" / 203 cm.
Weight: 269 lbs. / 122 kg.
Position: SF, PF
Birth Place: Aurora, CO
Scool: Alabama
Best case scenario: Zach Randolph
Worst case scenario: Malik Rose


Dallas Mavericks is very interested in this guy, because he is very powerful player. That kind of type really need for Mavs. He can play both positions: Small Forward and Power Forward, but it seems that he fits more for the Power Forward position.

Anani Hughes was born in the city of Aurora. And he was studying at the university of Alabama. His stats increased at the last year, so he is now real candidate to be drafted in this year draft.

Anani Hughes is projected to be drafted in the middle of 2nd round or even later, so Mavericks don't believe that he will be available with the 58th pick. Mavericks will be going to trade him, if he gone to another team.
