Here is the preview that TechRedRaider05 gives on the TT board:

I'll give it a shot... Our starting five will most likely be Burgess, Jackson, Zeno, Plefka, and Rizvic.

Rizvic is a 7 ft center. He's a lot like you figure a foreign big man would be. He's a good shooter but not a true post player yet. He does get out and defend well on the perimeter though and from what I have seen he sets good screens.

Plefka can shoot well for a big man. He can also play physical inside.

Zeno is a guy with a great motor. He's kind of a streaky shooter but gets going once he gets a few to go. He's not really a 3 point shooter but can hit the mid range jumper pretty well. He also gets into the lane on offense and defense. He also is a tough defender and a good passer.

Jackson is another high energy guy. He is constantly moving on offense with his teammates setting screens he will run the defender ragged. Also he's one of the faster players from basket to basket on a fast break. He's also a good defender and can rebound the ball. He is a great shooter from 3.

Burgess is a true PG. He doesn't look for his shot so much but gets his points within the flow of the game. He tries to get us good shots on offense. He can rebound as well as defend.

Key guys off the bench Benny Valentine, Darryl Dora, and Michael Prince. Valentine is only about 5'6 but plays with a lot of energy. He's a pest on defense partly because most players can look right over him when he's defending them. He has some hops... I've seen him come close to dunking it a few times in warm ups before the game. He's a streaky shooter. Dora is a 6'9 forward that wants to be a guard. He can find guys and can hit a 3 from time to time. Prince is just a high energy guy basically a jack of all trades master of none.
