    With the acquisition of Marc Jackson, I'm more hopeful of a better season for the Rocks than I had originally anticipated.

    C Cato/Collier
    PF Jackson/Thomas/Griffin
    SF Rice/Griffin/Williams/Langhi/Morris
    SG Mobley/Torres
    PG Francis/Mooch?

    OK, that looks pretty good. However, I am worried about Cato, Collier, Jackson, and Rice. I understand that some of the players haven't been in the league long enough to tell if they are injury prone or not, but that lineup kind of gives me the chills sometimes. All four of the players I have listed are front court players.

    While the probability of all four players being injured at the same time is unlikely, losing one or two would be a major setback.

    There are a few things posters have said in the last month or so that gives me some hope:

    1) Collier has added a lot of muscle.
    2) Rice was walking fine at the airport according to an eyewitness.
    3) Jackson has good numbers and is in good health now.
    4) Cato... er... anyone heard anything good about Cato yet? I think I heard someone mention that he has been working out hard lately.

    Anyone else have concerns about the lineup or have something else to add to the hope list? Tell me good things! The season is not too far away.

    Straight up! I could think of any other player beside "RICE N' CATO".
