2016 CB Draft: Discussion thread

[Rondo2287]

LA Lakers

PG: Jrue Holiday/JJ Barea
SG: Wes Mathews/Kevin Martin/Dion Waiters
SF: Carmelo Anthony/Dion Waiters
PF: Lamarcus Aldridge/Melo
C: Zaza Pachulia / Kosta Koufos

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Magic through 9 rounds:

C: Nikola Jokic / Ian Mahinmi
F: Mirza Teletovic / Kyle O'Quinn
F: Paul George / Tyreke Evans
G: Kent Bazemore / Terrence Ross
G: Patrick Beverley / Patty Mills


I like the way my team has shaped out. I got great shooters around Paul George (Mirza, Ross, Mills) guys that can help lock up the perimeter ( Bazemore, Beverley) a great 6th man in Tyreke, and probably one of the best back up bigs in the game in Mahinmi. Not to mention Jokic is criminally underrated and only going to get better, his playmaking abilities and skill at center will take a lot of pressure off PG13.

Thoughts? Concerns? Criticisms?

Through Round 9:

C: DeMarcus Cousins
PF: Kelly Olynyk
SF: Omri Casspi
SG: Andrew Wiggins
PG: Kris Dunn

Bench:
G: Jerryd Bayless
F/C: Nene Hilario

Starting to really like this team. I have to hit some homeruns with my late picks, but overall I like where it is.

[Denis998]

Interesting fact is that my team features 3 current Pistons IRL.
How many players do you guys have that play for your team IRL?

[BigAlTheFuture]

Russell Westbrook/Trey Burke
Tony Allen/Corey Brewer
Trevor Ariza/Larry Nance Jr.
Chris Bosh/Trey Lyles
Tristan Thompson

DEFENSE

[RJ87]

Russell Westbrook/Trey Burke
Tony Allen/Corey Brewer
Trevor Ariza/Larry Nance Jr.
Chris Bosh/Trey Lyles
Tristan Thompson

DEFENSE

Lots of defense, but you're going to need Ariza and Bosh to really step up from the 3pt line for optimal spacing for Russell Westbrook.

[KGs Knee]

Charlotte Hornets

Coach: Steve Clifford

C- Andrew Bogut | Marreese Speights
F- Al Horford | PJ Tucker
F- Chandler Parsons | Joe Ingles
G- JR Smith | Tyler Johnson
G- Mike Conley Jr | Raul Neto

Probably not your biggest "names" coming off the bench, but they are pretty efficient players and good to very good three point shooters.  In fact, the only guy on this team that cant shoot three's is Bogut.  Everyone else is above 38% expect Horford (34%) and Conley (36%).

Russell Westbrook/Trey Burke

DEFENSE

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but how can we be comfortable that Bosh is going to play this season?

DEFENSE

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but how can we be comfortable that Bosh is going to play this season?

I listed him (in my mind) before the draft as "out" indefinitely.

But I feel the same, I honestly don't know what to do.  I don't want to be mean about it.

[KGs Knee]

Otherwise, BigAl's Sun's are top notch.

Well I do want to be mean about it. Barring new info, nobody should expect Bosh to play.

Kevin Durant asked me to pass along his gratitude for sabotaging Russell Westbrook.

I like the look of Raul Neto. Got some quickness and feistiness to him. A competitor.

I think he can do more outside of that clogged Utah Jazz offense as well.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

This is the Utah Jazz roster after 9 rounds

C: Jonas Valanciunas
 
F: Karl-Anthony Town / Mike Scott

F: Wilson Chandler / Quincy Pondexter

F: Khris Middleton / Jonathon Simmons

G: Derrick Rose / Shaun Livingston


Seems like a decent, fun team.

[Who]

Through Round 9:

C: DeMarcus Cousins
PF: Kelly Olynyk
SF: Omri Casspi
SG: Andrew Wiggins
PG: Kris Dunn

Bench:
G: Jerryd Bayless
F/C: Nene Hilario

Starting to really like this team. I have to hit some homeruns with my late picks, but overall I like where it is.

I like the small ball option there

C: Cousins
F: Casspi
F: Wiggins
G: Bayless
G: Dunn

I also love the idea of Cousins & Nene alongside one another against bigger frontlines.
And Olynyk can work so well alongside either Cousins or Nene.
Strong big man rotation.

I like the balance of this roster very much.  But I just realized, neither of your SF's played last year.  I assume both are good to go this year, but I'll be interested to hear what you expect from them in your presser.
