[. . . ] As their near-. 500 record indicates, Denver has the ability to play with the majority of teams in the Midwest Division. Adding to an already veteran-heavy club, they've rolled the dice this offseason hoping that veterans such as Scott Williams and Avery Johnson can provide production off the bench. Key Performers: #24 PF Antonio McDyess Some were surprised when he was drafted with the #2 overall pick in 1995, but McDyess has developed into one of the top power forwards in the Western Conference. His incredible quickness to the rim and nose for the ball down low make him a complete player on both ends of the floor, as his 20. 8 ppg and 12. 1 rpg last season attest. #31 PG Nick Van Exel "Nick the Quick" came into the NBA with a "shoot first" mentality, but as he's grown older, the lefthander has developed into one of the leading assist men in the NBA. He'll still let fly a few threepointers (leading the team with 135 last year), but his playmaking skills and quick first step are what set him apart. Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach: John Lucas Internet Site: http://www. nba. com/cavaliers/ 2000-01 Record: 30-52 (6th place, Central Division) Team Outlook: The Cavs have never seemed ready to have that breakout season in recent years, but things could finally be looking up in Cleveland. Point guard Andre Miller is developing into one of the best in the Eastern Conference, and the frontcourt combination of Lamond Murray, Tyrone Hill, Michael Doleac and Chris Mihm is improving. The Cavs should have enough weapons to play with most of the teams in the Central Division. Key Performers: #24 PG Andre Miller Few realize that in just his second season, Miller led all Eastern Conference point guards in assists a year ago. On the agenda this year ­ improving upon his scoring average. His quick hands and good court awareness stand out, but he'll need those points per game to increase significantly if this club hopes to be playoff contenders. #11 C Zydrunas Ilgauskas Sure he's injury prone - you'd be too if you had screws in both of your feet. But when this Lithuanian big man is in the lineup, the Cavs are a markedly different team. Few players in the NBA clog the lane better than this 7'3", 260-pounder. Detroit Pistons Head Coach: Rick Carlisle Internet Site: http://www. nba. com/pistons/ 2000-01 Record: 32-50 (5th place, Central Division) Team Outlook: A perfect marriage of team and city, the Pistons rely on their blue-collar ethic on the boards to outmuscle and outwork other teams. The frontcourt defense is solid with unheralded Ben Wallace, and the team has a true drawing card in high-flying scorer Jerry Stackhouse, but Detroit will need other players to pick up some of the offensive punch if this team is to make a serious playoff run. Key Performers: #3 C Ben Wallace #42 SG Jerry Stackhouse This former college player of the year is rapidly It may be hard to envision someone that averages developing into a bona fide NBA superstar. His 6. 4 points per game as a "key performer, " but slashing and leaping abilities rival those only of Wallace is as sensational a defensive player as there is in the league. At 6'9", he doesn't have the fellow UNC alum Vince Carter, and his 29. 8 points per game last year trailed only league MVP Allen height to match most power forwards and centers Iverson. He IS the offense for Detroit, as just about in the NBA, yet his 1, 052 total rebounds were more than any other player in the league last year. every offensive possession funnels through him. Golden State Warriors Head Coach: Dave Cowens Internet Site: http://www. nba. com/warriors 2000-01 Record: 17-65 (7th place, Pacific Division) Team Outlook: Sure, every team looks back at "what ifs" at the conclusion of the season. For the Warriors, the song has been the same for a number of years now: "what if we could stay healthy?" With a solid front line of Antawn Jamison, Danny Fortson and Erick Dampier, and an explosive backcourt of Larry Hughes and rookie Jason Richardson, this team has the talent to improve markedly over their 17-win season a year ago.
