The addition of Horace Grant means Shaq won’t be subject to constant triple teaming inside, allowing him to work on his offensive game and not have to worry about clearing every carom off the glass. OTHERS: Scottie Pippen, Bulls; Reggie Miller, Pacers; Patrick Ewing, Knicks; Kenny Anderson, Nets. MIP: Gheorghe Muresan, Bullets. The 7’7 Romanian has muscled up, while dropping 10 pounds which improves his foot speed. He will vastly improve on his rookie stats and should be a force to be reckoned with in the paint. OTHERS: Lee Mayberry, Bucks; Anfernee Hardaway, Magic; Chris Mills, Cavs; Dino Radja, Celtics; Matt Geiger, Heat; Lindsey Hunter, Pistons. ROY: Grant Hill, Pistons. Hill is a talented 3 position player who’ll get major minutes due to Detroit’s lack of a small forward. He should have an excellent first year, with his balanced floor game. OTHERS: Glenn Robinson, Bucks. The fact that the Big Dog hasn’t signed yet will put him ata disadvantage right away, it’ll take him a while before he becomes accustomed to the rigors of the NBA. Sharone Wright, 76ers; Eric Montross, Celtics. ALL-EAST F Derrick Coleman, Nets F Scottie Pippen, Bulls C Shaquille O’Neal, Magic G Kenny Anderson, Nets G Reggie Miller, Pacers Best Shooter. Glen Rice, Heat Most Exciting: Kenny Anderson, Nets Most Underrated: Clarence Weatherspoon, 76ers Most Overrated: Charles Smith, Knicks Most Versatile: Derrick Coleman, Nets Best Leaper: Harold Miner, Heat Best Shotblocker: Shaquille O’Neal, Magic Best Rebounder: Kevin Willis, Hawks Best Defensive Player: Scottie Pippen, Bulls Best 6th Man: Dell Curry, Hornets ATLANTIC: 1) New York Knicks: Too much experience... well coached... one ofthe top four centers in the league in Patrick Ewing (24.5, 11.2)...need answer at point guard slot...nearly won it all last year 2) Orlando Magic: Youth is their main strength...Shaq (29.3, 13.2) will always be the man no matter how much Grant and Hardaway get paid...some what ironic that a player nick- named ‘‘Penny”’ (16, 5.4, 6.6 apg) is making over $70 million dollars 3) Miami Heat: Acquiring Billy Owens (15 ppg) for Rony Seikaly creates a logjam at small forward with Glen Rice (21.1), Steve Smith (17.3), and Willie Burton. ..it also creates a gap at center where Matt Geiger must come up big 4) New Jersey Nets 5) Boston Celtics 6) Washington Bullets 7) Philadelphia 76ers CENTRAL 1) Indiana Pacers: Mark ‘‘Action’’ Jackson (10.9, 8.6.apg) answers the Pacers glaring need at point guard...the Davis boys (Dale and Antonio) are one of the best duos at power forward in the league...they gained a lot of valuable experience in the playoffs last year 2) Charlotte Hornets: Injuries hurt them last year, and once again are taking their toll... Alonzo Mourning (21.5, 10.2) was nurs- ing a bad toe in the preseason and Larry Johnson (16.4) suffered a stress fracture in his foot...newcomer Michael Adams will boost their perimeter game 3) Cleveland Cavaliers: their position is based on potential.. .if Brad Daughtery (17, 10.1) is healthy, and they find a replacement for the injured Gerald Wilkins they’ll be dangerous 4) Chicago Bulls 5) Atlanta Hawks 6) Detroit Pistons 7) Milwaukee Bucks NEXT WEEK...THE WEST ***Men’s b’ball plays two home game; with the vastly improved UNB Varsity Reds on the Rememberance Day week. end.
