|---|---|---|---|
Now that Kobe Bryant has scored 81 pts in an NBA game, do you think Kobe (or anyone else) will ever score 100 in a game? What do you think will be the most points he will score in a game
for the rest of his career? |
ESPN's Bill Walton | "I think he's going to get 100, and I think he's going to get it in the next month." | |
| Bublak | I don't think he'll get more than 66 ever

|---|---|---|---|
| Our Super Bowl | Bublak | "Should be RC by about 6 although they wil probably get out to a big lead and cause favre to throw a lot and then reap the benefit of his poor gambling and blow them out." | |
| Shawn | "RC wins 37-31, difference is a def TD off a Brett Favre pass " | ||
| Rex | "Based on RC's 2-0 record against Galveston in the regular season, including a 41-17 road win, I'll say RC 42-27. Ahman Green and Joe Horn were MVPs in those two RC wins." | ||

| What is the best these players will ever play? | |||
| Player | Coach | Prediction | |
| Pau Gasol | Rex | At most, 22 pts a game, 11 boards; will be a good shooter
and shot blocker |
|
| Bublak | Good for 5 yrs then fade away | ||
| Shawn | 18 pts, 11 rebs | ||
| Thomas | 20 pts 10rebs | ||
| Allen | "Championship" (must not have understood the question) | ||
| Knowles | Didn't participate. Party pooper. | ||
| Shane Battier | Rex | Solid NBA player, but won't start for any of our teams | |
| Bublak | Not much better than Christian Laetener | ||
| Shawn | 16 pts, 7 rebs | ||
| Thomas | 15 pts 5 reb 4 ast | ||
| Allen | "Championship" | ||
| Knowles | Didn't participate. Party pooper. | ||
| Jason Richardson | Rex | Vince Carter, jr; will score 23 pts a game tops; won't shoot a blazing percentage | |
| Bublak | next Mitch Richmond/Tim Hardaway | ||
| Shawn | 18.5 pts 3.5 reb 4 assts | ||
| Thomas | 22pts 4reb 4ast | ||
| Allen | "No clue." | ||
| Knowles | Didn't participate. Party pooper. | ||
| Tyson Chandler | Rex | Marcus Camby without the injuries; good shot blocker and rebounder; high % shooter, but not a major scorer | |
| Bublak | "too early to tell" (pansy answer!) | ||
| Shawn | 16 pts 9 reb 2-3 blocks (now there's a non-pansy answer) | ||
| Thomas | 15pts 8reb 2blk | ||
| Allen | "No clue." | ||
| Knowles | Didn't participate. Party pooper. | ||
| Eddy Curry | Rex | Will score 20 a game, and shoot a high %; won't be a force on the boards or on defense | |
| Bublak | "too early to tell" (again with the wimpy response!) | ||
| Shawn | 18 pts 10 reb | ||
| Thomas | 19pt 10reb | ||
| Allen | "No clue." | ||
| Knowles | Didn't participate. Party pooper. | ||
| Andrei Kirilenko | Rex | All-around player; best yr will be 20/8 | |
| Bublak | He will be what Kukoc was supposed to be | ||
| Shawn | 15 pts 8 reb 4 assts | ||
| Thomas | 20pts 9reb | ||
| Allen | "No clue." | ||
| Knowles | Didn't participate. Party pooper. | ||
| Kwame Brown | Rex | Hardest player to predict; could flop like Chris Washburn or could avg 18/10 with a good number of blocks | |
| Bublak | Won't amount to anything | ||
| Shawn | 13 pts 7.5 reb | ||
| Thomas | 17pts 6reb | ||
| Allen | "No clue." | ||
| Knowles | Didn't participate. Party pooper. | ||
| Eddie Griffin | Rex | Weirdest guy in the draft; a shot-blocker that shoots 3's; needs to learn to shoot better, but has potential to lead league in blocks if he gets the minutes | |
| Bublak | Decent 6th man but not a every day starter | ||
| Shawn | 11 pts 6.5 reb | ||
| Thomas | 20pts 10reb 3blks | ||
| Allen | "No clue." | ||
| Knowles | Didn't participate. Party pooper. | ||
| Richard Jefferson | Rex | Solid nba player; similar to kenyon martin, without the defensive stats; could start in our league IF he shoots well enough | |
| Bublak | Won't fare well against bigger foes | ||
| Shawn | 16 pts 6 reb 2 steals | ||
| Thomas | 15pts | ||
| Allen | "No clue." | ||
| Knowles | Didn't participate. Party pooper. | ||
| Jonathan Bender | Rex | Bust for our league | |
| Bublak | no opinion (good imitation of Allen & Knowles!) | ||
| Shawn | 12 pts 4 reb | ||
| Thomas | 15pts 6reb | ||
| Allen | "No clue." | ||
| Knowles | Didn't participate. Party pooper. | ||
Free-form opinions about any players in our draft: |
|||
| Vladimir Radmanovich | Rex | Could be a junior version of Nowitzki or a clone of Rashard Lewis, but not as good of a rebounder as Dirk | |
