<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Cliff Robinson (A) ? We still say if he were 29 instead of 39, they?d be a title contender.
Vince Carter (B+) ? Not as efficient as he was a year ago, but he?ll be better in the second half, if he doesn?t bruise something this weekend.
Richard Jefferson (
? Still the best defender and fill-in-the-blanks guy they have, but you can tell his nightly sacrifices are beginning to wear on the ego.
Jason Kidd (
? Defending better than we thought he would, still capable of dominating games, and ? who?d have thought? ? their most clutch shooter from 3 by far.
Nenad Krstic (
? Up from a C+ in just the last few weeks, showing more confidence in his long-range game, and grabbing more boards out of his area.
Jason Collins (C+) ? The defensive anchor, and sometimes he looks as though he?s weighed down by one. Playing with pain every night.
Jacque Vaughn (C+) ? If this grade were on a per-dollar scale, he?d get the only A+. There are better backup points, but he?s indispensable.
Scott Padgett © ? Not consistent enough with the jumper, which is what he was brought in to hit, but a better rebounder than expected, and he makes the right pass.
Antoine Wright © ? So far, we like what we see. He hasn?t done anything to be removed from the rotation, anyway.
Marc Jackson (C-) ? Hasn?t received the floor time that he and management would like him to get, but his slow feet at the defensive end make him a bad fit here.
Jeff McInnis (D+) ? Just a hunch: We haven?t heard the last of him, though that?s not necessarily a good thing.
Lamond Murray (D) ? Helped them win a few games, but he couldn?t beat out a rookie for a rotation spot.
Zoran Planinic (D) ? Really needs a change of scenery. Coach will never play him.
Linton Johnson III (Inc.) ? He?s played 40 minutes all year.
Lawrence Frank (
? Kept the ship from hitting the rocks at 9-12, formulates sound schemes every night, has intimate knowledge of every opponent. But he could manage the bench better, and he has more unhappy guys than he?s aware of.
Management © ? It?s still possible that the season?s epitaph will read, ?Should have taken a chance on Reef.? They?re still a big man shy of a serious playoff run, and that?s not all the coach?s fault</div>
