2013 CB Draft: How's my CB Draft Team look?

[AB_Celtic]

But Roy, that's part of the fun.

Yeah, but winning is even more fun.

But no, why I give that advice is that if you give your fellow jackals anything to pick apart they'll be happy to oblige.

I guess the main point of my post was to address three concerns I've heard a lot about.
1. How will the team adjust to KG sitting out B2Bs? I think my post shows we can do this without playing anyone outrageous minutes. Can Horford handle 36? Sure, he did last season. Can Mozgov handle 12? Of course
2. Will Jamal get enough minutes? I think my post shows he will. 28 in the regular season and 33 in the postseason sounds just about right to me.
3. How is Crash going to be used effectively? I think my post shows we aren't worried about his offense; we just need him to show up every now and then defensively, which he can absolutely do.

Maybe I could have portrayed these points just as well by writing a paragraph about each, but I liked laying everything out in front of me. I'm not too worried about people picking it apart; I think I've done more good than bad.

Guilty as charged. A fine rebuttal though. Did you see my latest PM?

Didn't get anything.

Also, FWIW I plan on playing Allen about 10 minutes per game at SF on the DKC Grizz - matchups permitting, of course.

I have Denver and Cleveland as two of my top teams in the East. Not THE top two teams, at least I haven't made that determination yet

When did Denver move to the east?

WOW!!! massive brain fart. I meant Milwaukee. You would think with all the times I selected for you I would know your team's name by now.

Massive elder moment there!!

I agree with Roy here (which pains me greatly to say).

I don't have a problem with GM's projecting minutes, but honestly, when I look at and evaluate a team's roster, I tend to judge it for myself.  Stating what the depth chart looks like ought to be sufficient.

My bad, I thought AB had responded. I'd sent him the PM.

All good points.  And, as Lucky17 said, you did a great job rebutting his concerns.

Haha!

That's just way too funny.

And again, thanks for helping make it easy for me to get my picks in (despite the one minor hiccup).  You've done me a great service, and help alleviate my fears of drafting a team this way.

Nick really does deserve all the kudos anyone could throw at him.

Didn't realize you were addressing me. Replied to your PM.

As Lucky17 has already demonstrated. Lol

As Roy already demonstrated. He's doing the opposite of all-time quarterback and just attacking all our hopes and dreams like a feral Ray Lewis. Except Cleveland. He likes Cleveland.

Ha.  I do like Cleveland.

And I like Orlando, although I'm unsure about MWP.

Everyone else, I'm still making up my mind on.

Well in your defense, the teams do kinda seem to suck this year.

Just wondering, why do you rank Orlando so highly? There's no way they can get by in Kobe's absence, and even when he does get back, he's lacking the premiere interior offensive weapon he's relied on in years past. With all due respect to Millsap, he's no Pau, Bynum, or Shaq. The other option would be to assign that role to Amare, which would require a huge leap of faith.

Definitely nobody who could stand up to the top three last year (Dallas, the Good Guys, and the second place loser.)

I didn't say where I ranked them, I just said I liked them.

I like them because they built a really smartly constructed team where the individual parts are very complementary of one another.

My top five in both conferences are probably something like this right now, in no particular order:

EAST

Orlando
Cleveland
Milwaukee
Indiana
Washington

WEST

Minnesota
Golden State
Oklahoma City
Houston
Lakers
