Answer 2

1. L. James(his freethrow shooting, and he's not the best 3 point shooter)

2. D. Wade(not the best passer, and could work on his 3's as well, also needs to stay way from injuries)

3. K. Bryant(a little selfish, he's less of a ballhog now, and shoots the ball too much when he sometimes is cold)

4. C. Paul(could be a better 3 pointer, reaches in too much when trying to go for the steal)

5. D. Howard(his free throws. Also he needs a better shooting range)

6. G. Arenas(too selfish at times, a little too cocky, and needs to play better D)

7. B. Davis(free throws, needs to pass more)

8. T. McGrady(he's not clutch in the playoffs..)

9. P. Pierce(too arrogant, needs to be a better passer and better shot selections)

10. C. Bosh(he needs to be stronger in the post, and have a consitent midway jumper)

11. A. Iverson(not a rebounder)

12. S. Nash(horrible defense, and needs more rebounds)

13. T. Duncan( free throws.. and a good perimeter shot)

14. D Nowitzki(Leadership, and better at rebounding)

Answer 3

1. James- Free throws are obviously and issue, his jumper has improved but he is still streaky.  If he's on he hits everything, if he's off he gets down on himself

2. Wade- He has improved his outside shot, but his range is not consistent.  Also, because he plays so fast and all out, he can be turnover prone when he is running the offense

3. Kobe- He can be so single minded about scoring he sometimes doesn't see a wide open teammate right under the basket or cutter that could get an easier bucket.

4. Paul- His 3-point range has always been an issue.  In fact his shooting in general was suspect before last season.  His first two seasons he shot 43% from the floor.  As fast as he is, he should be driving more.

5. Howard- Unreliable from the line, needs a go-to post move and a mid-range jumper.

6. Arenas- Biggest issue is he wants to play point, but he shoots way too much.  Also, he is fast enough to get to the rim more and draw fouls but often settles for jumpers.

7. Davis- I've never seen a point guard that had so much ability as a passer who dribbles so much.  It seems like every time he initiates the offense, he doesn't make the first pass until there are 8 seconds or less on the shot clock.  He also loves to shoot 3's even though he can get to the rim easily and is a great post-up point guard

8. T-Mac- Too many 3's and long jumpers.  It's probably the result of his injuries, but that's his other weakness.

9. PP- A really good athlete, but he's not a great athlete.  He is a phenomenal player that has become great through studying the game and learning the tricks.  I wonder how good he could have been with the athletic skill of Kobe or LeBron.

10. Bosh- His biggest issue is that he has been playing out of position for most of his NBA career.  If O'Neal is healthy, he will play most of his minutes at the 4, which is his natural position.  My concern there is if he can play d on the perimiter.

11. AI- See Arenas (first part only, AI drives and draws fouls like no one), but he is the ultimate streak shooter.  If he's on, the other team is in for a bad night; if his jumper is off, his team is in for a bad night.

12. Nash- The guy is one of the best offensive point guards ever.  Unfortunately, his best night on defense was when he didn't play.

13. TD- The most fundamentally sound player in the league...can't hit freethrows.  Really? A free shot with no one's hand in your face and you can't hit it? So frustrating.  Also, he is slow covering faster PF's on the perimiter.

14. Dirk- Average at best on D.  Tends to be less agressive on offense in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.  He is another player on this list who is a great passer, but doesn't kick out of double teams enough to open teammates.

Answer 5

1. Great passer, great shooter, solid leader, solid defense I can't think of anything wrong.

2. Amazing finisher, knows how to lead a team, has trouble shooting the three, needs to work on passing a bit more.

3. Terrific shooter, good at driving, complements Gasol, and Odom very niceley, can get a little selfish.

4. Good finisher, even better passer, very clutch, shooting is a little off.

5. Best at his position, extremely strong, good at muscling through defenses, can get lost on defense, sometimes has to rely on pure athletecism rather than fundamentaly sound defense.

6. Great scorer, is at that superstar level, can gamble to much on defense, a little cocky.

7. Good scorer, good passer, great in the clutch, above average defender, can forget to pass sometimes.

8. Can shoot well, and can drive to the hoop, needs to work on his D.

9. Good shooter, solid driver, can muscle through defenses like they aren't there, can forget about passing. A little cocky too.

10. A nice hustle player who will do the dirty work, good scorer, nice fundamentaly sound defense, subpar passer.

11. The best crossover in the NBA, good passer, gambles to much on defense.

12. Best passer in the NBA, solid shooter, and good defender, can disappear in the offense.

13. Hard bruiser in the low block, solid shotblocker, can throw some bad passes

14. Good shooter, solid offensive player, needs some D.

12.nash needs to work on his drive to the basket. hes too weak down there.
