2020 Historic Draft: How’s My Team Look: Conference Finals winners announced!!

[Who]

Milwaukee Bucks:

C: Alonzo Mourning
F: Karl Malone / Serge Ibaka
F: Giannis Antetokounmpo / Jayson Tatum
G: Manu Ginobili
G:  Mike Conley / Derrick Rose

That is a super-good team.

I love (1) K.Malone and Zo in the paint (2) Manu always and forever (3) Conley as the floor general (4) Super subs in D-Rose and Tatum.

Milwaukee Bucks:

F: Karl Malone / Serge Ibaka
F: Giannis Antetokounmpo / Jayson Tatum
G: Manu Ginobili
G:  Mike Conley / Derrick Rose

I love Conley as the starter. Happy to take a backseat but will punish defenders who leave him open.

Not sure any team can stop your inside attack at the moment

LA Clippers:

Now that I've added another bench piece, what do people think?

C: Joakim Noah / Andrew Bynum
PF: Elton Brand / Lamar Odom
SF: Grant Hill
SG: Michael Redd
PG: Steph Curry / Deron Williams

LA Clippers:

Now that I've added another bench piece, what do people think?

C: Joakim Noah
PF: Elton Brand / Lamar Odom
SF: Grant Hill
SG: Michael Redd
PG: Steph Curry / Deron Williams

So put the ball in Hill's hands and let him create for Curry and Redd?

After 8 picks.

Brooklyn Nets

PG- Allen Iverson, Andre Miller
SG- Tracy McGrady
SF- Shawn Marion
PF- Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin
C- Yao Ming, Theo Ratliff

Start Miller over AI.   Fill you bench with defensive players who can catch and shot at the last second.

PF: Elton Brand / Lamar Odom
SF: Grant Hill
SG: Michael Redd
PG: Steph Curry / Deron Williams

So put the ball in Hill's hands and let him create for Curry and Redd?

I think it depends on the matchup, and how much variety we want. I feel as if I'd like them to change it up in game, have different guys handle the ball-handling duties. Sort of similar to IRL Boston, but with Curry getting more than Kemba, and Hill getting more than Hayward (no Tatum-type player on this roster)

[action781]

My current team:

Ball Handlers:  Billups, Cassell
Swing:  Lebron, Ray Allen, Gerald Wallace
Bigs: Gobert, Millsap


Still looking for:  Swing defender.   Small ball C.   Extra Shaq wall.  (of course if they can hit the three, definitely a plus)

I think Millsap is a totally serviceable 5th starter at PF.  A better choice there than Wallace, which then allows Wallace to bring that energy off the bench, which I like.

I'd say you should prioritize backup C with your next pick.  You've got players who can play backup 1/2/3/4.  You've got solid perimeter defense already although could maybe shore up your SG defense (however, that's the weakest offensive attack position in this game I think).  Extra Shaq wall can come later on.

Los Angeles Lakers - Through 8 rounds:

C: Nikola Jokic / Marcus Camby
F: Chris Webber / Pascal Siakam
F: Ron Artest
G: Kobe Bryant / Michael Jordan
G: Damian Lillard



Real excited to have these two together

[GreenFaith1819]

C - Joel Embiid / Tyson Chandler
PF - Dirk Nowitzski
SF - Gordon Hayward / Andre Iguodala
SG - Victor Oladipo
PG - Tony Parker / John Wall

Added Tyson Chandler as a defensive anchor and John Wall as the 2nd unit PG.

I have 3 Finals MVPs, added a big PG in JW and he played well defensively and can score.

Tyson can also serve as a mentor to Embiid and has a Championship connection to Dirk.

This is the best overall team you’ve drafted, I think.  Just really smart picks all-around.  I especially like the value you found today.

gouki, how are you thinking about lineups and shooting? Looking at the team, it jumps out that it started as very shooting heavy (e.g., Curry and Redd) with a playmaker at the wing and an electrifying big man. Your latest picks (Noah, Odom, Bynum) aren't exactly floor spacers, but they're massive. If you're running two of Curry, Williams, and Redd alongside a combination of Hill and Odom at the 3, Odom and Brand at the 4, and those bigs, do you think you have enough floor spacing? Are Williams and Redd enough if Curry is sitting, or would you look for a stretch wing or big in the next round? I'm super interested because the composition and maybe identity of your team has changed so drastically in the past 24 hours.

Glad you were able to get The Camby Man as a defensive anchor.

And I see your current Guard Corps being the captains on that team. No one getting out of line in this setup.

Maybe trouble in the locker room, let's never forgot Ron Artest got mad at Jordan in a pickup game, and body slammed him to the floor breaking his ribs.

I don't care if Artest denies it, the story I want to believe is much more fun.

Really though, I like this team.  Can be hard in these drafts to build around a player like Kobe, but you've done it well.  Big fan of the Artest and Jordan pick ups.

My guess is you're going to be a running team?

Your Bigs are long and athletic......

Love your SG-SF scoring options..VC and Kris are good defensively as well.

Love Kyle Lowry's toughness.
