Beat writer A. Sherrod Blakely hands out his marks for the season:
Coach Michael Curry: Too soon to tell if he's a bad coach or just had a ton of bad luck this season. C-
Guards
Richard Hamilton: Never seemed like himself after the Chauncey Billups trade. C-
Rodney Stuckey: Talented player who still has a lot to learn about being an NBA point guard. C
Will Bynum: Great season, best player on the team at finishing around the basket. B
Arron Afflalo: Seemed to have lost some focus, confidence after trade for Allen Iverson. B-
Allen Iverson: The only reason it's not an F is because of the salary-cap benefits. D
Forwards
Tayshaun Prince: Even before the back injury, he wasn't playing particularly well. C-
Antonio McDyess: The toughest guy on the team; re-signing him should be a top priority. B+
Amir Johnson: Never took full advantage of his time in the starting lineup. C-
Jason Maxiell: Undersized as a player, underwhelming most of the season. C-
Walter Herrmann: Streaky shooter, never got into a steady rhythm. C-
Walter Sharpe: Even by second-round pick standards, he didn't do much. D
Centers
Rasheed Wallace: See Iverson. D
Kwame Brown: His hands are bad, but he's big, strong and can defend. B
