A lot of scrubs; Dee Brown, Melvin Ely, Janero Pargo, Steven Hunter, Corey Maggette (not totally a scrub), Tony Allen, Bobby Simmons, Alando Tucker, Will Bynum, Anthony Parker, Luther Head, James Augustine, Nazr Mohammed, Brian Cardinal, Shannon Brown, Sean May (sort of), Zach Randolph (I think?), Julian Wright, Michael Finley (was great)

Detroit & Philadelphia get overlooked.

In terms of basketball interest? Don't forget smaller metros like Detroit, Indy, Raleigh-Durham, KC and Lexington.

We don't produce talent like other areas of the country...the Celtics may be the best franchise in the NBA, but our local talent isn't up to par with the likes of places like NYC, Philly, Georgia, Texas, or California.
