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

[Rondo2287]

PG: Deron
SG: Ray Allen
SF: Durant
PF: Scola
C:  R. Lopez.

as I said in the other thread Ray will get about 25 MPG, and I plan on acuiring another SG at some point as insurance.

I think that other SG should start, and Ray come off the bench.  Your bench is going to be awfully thin as it is, and you'll need some punch coming in.  This will be a fun team to watch, but teams with multiple strong wings will give you matchup problems unless you get an extra perimeter defender.

The top two are excellent but the team will sink or swim based on how well the next couple of picks work as quality role players.

While we agree Wallace isn't the best shooter at the 3, he showed significant improvement during the playoffs this season (shooting .379 on around 4 attempts per game beyond the arc). We're confident that he can put up near those numbers in the playoffs once again.

This team is built for the playoffs. We'd love the #1 seed, but we aren't gunning for it. We plan to scratch and claw, to outrebound and outhustle other teams in the playoffs. And in that sense, we think there are few teams that can stop us.

Ok, the revamped Orlando Kobes:

George Hill/Jarrett Jack
Kobe/Vince Carter/Jack
Metta World Peace/Vince Carter/Kobe
Paul Millsap/Amar'e Stoudemire/Nick Collison
Omer Asik/Stoudemire/Collison

We'll probably run some situational lineups with MWP at the 4 and some combo of 3 of the other 4 perimeter guys.  VC will start at 2 if Kobe isn't ready to start the season, and we're flexible about starting VC vs MWP at 3 based on matchups.

I really like this team, but the weak link is definitely the SF spot. It'll come down to whether Turner figures out his game and takes the next step this year on a dismal Sixers team, as well as whether Harris can improve his defense to acceptable levels. For me, I'm not sold on either of them.

Otherwise, you have a heck of a defensive frontcourt, and Wall/Thompson is an excellent combo at your guard spots. Dunleavy and Hawes serve as very quality depth, and were huge value picks.

Granger's going to be a huge X-factor for your team, but you have a mighty nice insurance plan with the positional versatility of Iggy/Young, allowing Thornton's offensive repertoire into the starting lineup should Granger not work out.

We like a lot of the same players. Noah, Thompson, and Amir Johnson are personal favorites.

Would anybody else bring Turner off the bench? Harris is four years younger, but generally more productive. Or if you need better passing and three point shooting out of the small forward position, I might still prefer Dunleavy.

Tons of scoring on this squad, even when it dig into the bench. Rebounding is a very solid A+ too with Iggy, Love and Young.

My only concern, JaVale as the last line of defense. And while he is a shot blocker, I worry about his decision making on when to block, who to leave open and when to rotate. I could be wrong but Iggy is not as vocal to anchor the defense, is it? If McGee is the anchor of this squads D, there may be trouble ahead. But I think they can outscore any team on any given night.

Tough defensive big rotation after adding Hawes. Very good balance all around.

There's too much energy and hustle on this team. Will be a tough team to meet come playoff time.

Detroit Pistons

C: Andre Drummond
PF: Anthony Davis
SF:
SG: Bradley Beal
PG: Eric Bledsoe
6th man: Dion Waiters

Clearly this team has no realistic aspirations to make a run at the title this year. However, I believe they are set up to be contenders in the next 5 years with tremendous potential. Thoughts so far?

The team of the future is all well and good but you'll still need someone with more than three years experience on the roster.

WW- I think that, from a talent and value standpoint, you have one of the absolute top teams.

From a chemistry standpoint, I have no idea how to this team works. I don't think you are set up to maximize these players; I would start wheeling and dealing. If you were able to deal Love and Granger for more up-tempo players of comparable skill level, you could have the team that the Nuggets are trying to be. If you could trade Javale for a more conventional down-low defensive anchor type center, you could have a great half-court team that still has guys that will push some exciting transitions. Right now, you're stuck in a weird limbo.
