I'd say your team's biggest problem is the lack of a slasher on the wing.

I want to agree with that, but between Chris Paul, and the inside outside threat of Rudy/Tayshaun and Gasol/Horford, I don't know if they need it.

I love this team's defensive ability. Paul is 1st team All-Defense, Prince, Horford and Gasol are are much better than average defenders and I like that Chandler can come in at the SF for scoring because as good as Prince is in defending, he disappears on offense far more than he should. Excellent start.

Also, Horford running the break against other centers with Paul is going to result in about 3-4 alley oop scores for Horford a game. With Paul as his PG, Horford's offensive game expands.

I didn't say it was a big problem.

Your team is very good but I don't like it, not really sure why. I hate Gasol, but I'm a Horford, Rudy and CP3 fan. Prince is a good defender. However, when I looked at your team I just didn't like it, no explanation why.

JR, I think your starting 5 is a top 4 team in the East. I love all of those guys, and think they fit well together. Rudy's the only question mark, but I do think he's ready for prime time.

Not crazy about Chandler as your 6th man, but you could do a lot worse.

The explanation is because my team would spank yours    It's valid.

Really like it besides Bargnani.  I would like it alot more if you could get a strong PF to start and then let Bargnani come off the bench as a scoring threat

your 2,3,4 are all out of position, which kinda makes them defensive liabilities. Can't fault the talent though.

Gay and Diaw at the 2/3 make up for any Bargs defensive short comings imo

I think the talent probably will drop off before the 24th pick, then there are another 20-30 players  that are in the next tier.

To echo some other comments, I'm not sure about Gay at SG and Diaw at SF. Both seem out of position to me.

I like the players though. A natural SG might help you recalibrate the lineup, and allow you to bring Bargs or Diaw off the bench as a supersub.
