The 2005 NBA playoffs open with a revised landscape led by the Suns, while former powerhouses such as the Lakers fade from contention. Shaquille ONeal now anchors the Heat and Gary Payton lingers with the Celtics as Detroit faces Larry Brown speculation.
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson, in his 15th draft, must find defensive help as only two of his post 1995 picks earned Pro Bowls. With five Pro Bowl offense last season but a bottom-ranked defense for three straight years, the Chiefs risk wasted opportunity if no defensive standout appears with the 15th pick, eyeing Rogers, Jones, Burnett, or Blackstock.
Chiefs chief executive Peterson hints at cornerback safety and linebacker targets in the first round while evaluating free agent additions. After 2003 the team kept main personnel but changed coordinators, with Gunther Cunningham taking over. 2004 top pick Siavis and tackle Ryan Sims have struggled to meet expectations.
Denver completes major offseason makeover by rebuilding the defensive line in free agency and then trading their first round draft pick to Washington. Team officials say they can find depth players in later rounds who will contribute immediately.
Denver general manager Ted Sundquist described moves to build depth and development. The Broncos traded the 25th pick for Washington’s 3rd round choice this year and first and fourth round picks next year. Their first selection is No. 56 in the second round with six total picks, including three in the third and none in the fourth.
Phillies ace Jon Lieber improved to 4-0 with eight innings of two earned run ball. Jim Thome homered for the season’s end and added power as Philadelphia beat Colorado 6-3 behind Lieber’s efficient, strike-laden outing and Billy Wagner’s closing save.
Minnesota snapped a two game slide by beating Kansas City 10 9 in 10 innings as Lew Ford delivered a bases loaded single with one out. Jason Bartlett doubled and Torii Hunter drew a key walk setting up Ford's walk off hit. Hunter homered and drove in three while John Buck and Emil Brown homered for KC.
Kansas State sophomore Fred Peete, who averaged 13 points per game last season, is leaving the Wildcats. A Memphis native who finished high school in Pullman, Washington, Peete started all 29 games, averaging 5 rebounds and 3.8 assists, with 34.9 percent from three. Coach Jim Wooldridge said Peete seeks to play point guard exclusively to pursue NBA goals and will transfer to a program that fits that role.
