Previous: 30th. Cleveland Cavaliers. 30. team. 156. Cleveland looks like the early favorite for the #1 draft pick, except they didn’t want to tank. There’s no reason for Cavaliers fans to hope this sad bunch can get itself turned around. They are near the bottom in assists, plus-minus differential, 3-pointers attempted, and so on. <a rel=. 1-11

66. Unlike Cleveland, there are positive things happening in the desert, despite the losses. <a rel=. 2-10. Previous: 29th. Phoenix suns. 29. team

Previous: 28th. Washington wizards. 28. team. 142. Is there any team which cries out for change more than the Wiz? They have waited for several seasons for their young players to gel into a team, but it hasn’t happened. I don’t know what they would receive in return for <a rel=. 3-9

Previous: 23rd. Atlanta Hawks. 27. team. 125. The Hawks have dropped 8 of 9. Rookie <a rel=. 3-10

The Knicks are woefully short on shooting and defense. What are their strong points…apparently the top brass have decided on patience and growth through the draft, they are well-coached, <a rel=. 4-10. Previous: 26th. New York Knicks. 26. team. 27
