|
| | | BROOKLYN: GUARDS: DERON WILLIAMS will surely take on more of a distributor role this year, but he's still this team's best option from three-point range, as well . . . JOE JOHNSON started to break down last season, so along with fewer shots (with the upgrade to the rest of the roster), he figures to play fewer regular-season minutes as well . . . JASON TERRY is clearly in the decline phase of his career, but is still the top scoring option among Brooklyn's second unit . . . ALAN ANDERSON gives them another shooter off the bench . . . SHAUN LIVINGSTON steps into the back-up point guard spot vacated by C.J. Watson. The injury-prone vet will be one of the more rarely used back-up PGs . . . TYSHAWN TAYLOR will be a non-factor. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE still has something left in the tank. While his athleticism is fading, he's still a cagey scorer who can also play some point forward to set up Williams . . . ANDREI KIRILENKO will be a Swiss army knife sixth man and should see plenty of starts as new head coach Jason Kidd rotates which veterans rest . . . REGGIE EVANS was retained for his rebounding ability and willingness to look ridiculous while flopping . . . ANDRAY BLATCHE will continue to settle in as a second-unit big. He's a name to remember for the future, as Kevin Garnett doesn't have much left in the tank . . . MIRZA TELETOVIC will be a seldom-used option as a stretch four . . . TORNIKE SHENGELIA is still years away from contributing, and the influx of veterans will further delay his development. CENTERS: Last year did a lot to assuage durability concerns for BROOK LOPEZ. He's highly skilled, and he may be forced to grab more rebounds now that Reggie Evans is on the second unit . . . KEVIN GARNETT will start at power forward. He's still an effective pick-and-pop shooter and pick-and-roll defender, but he'll have to rest often during the regular season . . . MASON PLUMLEE is in no position to help this season. | | ORLANDO: GUARDS: JAMEER NELSON will be trade bait all year, as the Magic have no interest in picking up his option after the season . . . ARRON AFFLALO is also on the trade block, and has more on-the-court value than Nelson . . . The Magic will find starter's minutes for rookie VICTOR OLADIPO somehow, at the expense of Afflalo, Nelson (if Oladipo proves capable of handling the point later this year) or both. He's the future in this backcourt . . . E'TWAUN MOORE is back mostly because he's a cheap option at back-up point guard. He's still a fringe NBA player . . . RONNIE PRICE is lucky to have a roster spot anywhere after a brutal year in Portland . . . Second-year man DORON LAMB will have a chance to prove himself as a second-unit scorer. FORWARDS: MAURICE HARKLESS has nice upside, and Orlando will find him more opportunities on offense. He reportedly added weight in an effort to be able to attack the rim more effectively . . . TOBIAS HARRIS is a disaster defensively, but after arriving in Orlando he showed the kind of versatile offensive skill set this team lacks. Expect him to win the starting job at the four . . . GLEN DAVIS will battle Harris for minutes, but as A 27-year-old, injury-prone player, he's more likely to be phased out by the rebuilding Magic . . . JASON MAXIELL will provide some physicality at the four and five . . . ANDREW NICHOLSON is still a work-in-progress, but is showing flashes of becoming an effective stretch four. CENTERS: NIKOLA VUCEVIC is a cornerstone in the Magic's rebuilding project. He's not terribly skilled or athletic, but he's a high-energy rebounder who has the touch to get plenty of baskets cleaning up garbage . . . KYLE O'QUINN had some nice moments in meaningless games late last year. The second-year pro might be able to hang on for a few more seasons as a back-up center. |

*Nets-Magic Preview* ====================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Brooklyn (1-1) at Orlando (1-2), 6:00 p.m. EDT
The Brooklyn Nets might have gotten the early boost of confidence they needed by knocking off the two-time defending NBA champions. A matchup with the Orlando Magic could help the Nets start to build some momentum.
Brooklyn looks to extend its dominance over Orlando when it visits the Magic on Sunday night.
Despite the additions of former Boston stars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the starting lineup, the Nets fell 98-94 at Cleveland in their season opener Wednesday.
The sting of that loss, however, was quickly erased.
Brooklyn (1-1) held on for a 101-100 win over visiting Miami on Friday, nearly blowing a 10-point lead in the final two minutes before Pierce and Joe Johnson each hit a pair of late free throws.
Those two players tied for the team lead with 19 points with Brook Lopez the only other Brooklyn player in double figures at 13. The Nets, however, showcased some depth, with seven players scoring at least eight points.
"It was good that we got a taste of this type of atmosphere this early in the season to try to see where we're at," Pierce said. "Miami, whenever they come into town, they're a measuring stick for everybody, so it was good for us to come out and get the win."
Brooklyn almost certainly won't face as stiff of a challenge in its trip to Orlando (1-2). The Nets will try to earn a fifth straight win over the Magic before returning home to face Utah on Tuesday.
The Magic will try to spoil the visit by improving to 2-0 on its four-game homestand. Orlando opened that stretch with a 110-90 rout of New Orleans on Friday.
Arron Afflalo led the way with 30 points and shot 10 of 14 after scoring 28 in a 120-115 overtime loss to Minnesota on Wednesday. Maurice Harkless added 20 points as Orlando outshot the Pelicans 55.7 percent to 34.8.
"When we're able to dictate what we want the opponents to do we're in good shape and we were able to do that," coach Jacque Vaughn said. "Our focus on our game plan was there right from the start. To keep them under 40 percent all night, we'll take that. It will give us a chance."
Defense wasn't the Magic's biggest issue in last season's four-game sweep at the hands of the Nets. Orlando averaged 76.3 points, its lowest against any opponent in 2012-13, and made 19.4 percent from 3-point range (12 of 62).
Brooklyn averaged 96.0 points and made 41.7 percent of its 3-pointers against the Magic in 2012-13.
