The Good: KG, Ray Allen, Tony Parker, Chauncey Billups & Tayshaun are all proven winners which will surely make this one of the more intense clubhouses in the league. Team should hang onto the ball with the best of 'em and block some shots.
The Bad: KG over Kobe in the first was not a good choice with the Celtics publically talking about limiting KG's minutes. The Rogue Lemmings will likely want to invest in a Kobe voodoo doll to help ensure there are no regrets at season's end - I'd recommend sweeping the leg and going after the finger just to be sure. Team has some serious age and health concerns as KG, Allen, Billups, T-Mac, Big Ben & Z are all on the decline and Bosh & Nene, particularly the latter, are poster boys for "health risks". The good news is the roster has 5 center eligibles so a big man going down won't have them bringing in Erick Dampier for tryouts at least.
The Ugly: Steals, 3's & Rebounds are all a concern, but perhaps a bigger fear is the team does nothing incredibly well, other than perhaps not turn it over & best case they finish 2nd in MPTO. With no monster strength it may be tough challenge.

Best Pick: Tayshaun Prince (7th) has upside thanks to his new coach who wants him to emerge as an offensive force night in and night out. There's big upside there if it happens, but in the 7th if it doesn't and they get league average Tayshaun it's not a huge blow to the roster. Nene (9th) a huge health risk, but Denver has no one else that can play the pivot which he could accumulate huge tick and he will block shots and rebound while in the lineup.

This team could win if...The old guys don't age and even revert to their previous all-star form. If T-Mac, Ray Allen & Ben Wallace suddenly revert to 5 year ago form, we're talking about a potent lineup presuming the big men stay healthy. The prospect types like Tayshaun, Bosh, Love & Nene still need to make the leap too, but if someone events a "Rejuvenation Machine" this team could be for real...
