Ladies and Gentlemen Your 2007 Las Vegas Aces

Well we will definitely not dominate anyone but you gotta play with the cards you are dealt. So without further delay here are the Aces.

PG - Steve Blake - Blake is a very good outside and free throw shooter. He is decent ballhandler and passer who plays average defense.

SG - Roger Mason - Mason is an average player who can play some excellent defense. He really is not much of scorer which will definitely be a weakness. I would rather see a better shooter here but Doug Collins is the coach so we will go with his pick.

SF - Ruben Patterson - Patterson is a good scorer and inside shooter who excels on the defensive side. Unfortunately Patterson is not much of a rebounder.

PF - Joe Smith - Well we definitely go with experience in Smith who has played in 12 NBA seasons. Smith will provide us with some scoring, good rebounding and very good defense.

C - Greg Oden - Oden will be a monster that will need to carry the team offensively and shutdown the opposition in the paint. I expect Oden to dominate the rookie of the year voting and would be disappointed if he doesn't win the award.


Bench:

SF Jalen Rose
PF Eric Williams
C Kevin Pittsnogle
SG Matt Carroll
SF Erick Hicks
PG Seth Chambliss
PF Robert Archibald

Well we have a decent mix of scorers and solid defenders. Rose provides the veteran leadership for the second unit who will definitely log a lot of minutes. Jameson Curry our second round pick was sent to the Developmental League to get some seasoning and we will continue to comb the free agent market to look for upgrades to our team.
