2009 Celticsblog Draft: Voting Analysis : Team of the Future

[nickagneta]

Miller's his pg. Afflalo would be on the bench. Watson is ok and he needs a back up pg more than me. I'm fine with Williams, Arroyo and Vaughn. Big Z actually wouldn't fit with our running game. Anderson and Armstrong fit better. The only guy I like on Toronto's bench is Varejao.

TP for the correction, I meant Afflalo, who is definitely better suited to the defensive backup SG role behind whoever he might get.

Definitely.  That's the one spot holding that team back.

Might I also add that I think Watson is an extremely solid back PG though he does suffer from the same deficiency as his starter which is they both are bad outside shooters.

Nah, I just realized your team has a D-league bench so I didnt have to boost my own team anymore

If somehow you get a sg for side show bob, wouldn't your bench be pretty D league? And considering Chris Paul is much greater than Miller, Raja will be greater than the sg you get, Kevin Martin is greater than Artest, and gasol is greater than camby, you shouldat least have a decent bench. I will say that if healthy, KG is better than Horford. Then again, you only have KG, b/c you picked him for me and then renegged on the trade. I think you were going with Gilbert initially.

I think Artest will shut down Martin.  Afflalo is getting Better, Raja is getting worse.  CP3 is better than miller thats true, but Miller is still a great fit for my team. 

Garnett is better than Horford or Pau.  Then when you add in my backups....  To quote Shannon Sharpe, "Somebody should call the national guard, we are killing these guys."

Finley, Belinelli, Watson, oberto, AV, and Big Z are better than any of the guys that you have on your bench.

Bell has a lot worse to get and affalo a lot better before they're anywhere equal. KG if healthy is better than Horford. Pau is much better than Camby. Chris Paul is much better than Andre Miller. Hmm who did sacto prefer between Kevin MArtin and Artest?

I like Anderson, Williams, Arroyo, Armstrong and Buddinger over some of the guys you listed. The last two you listed are good, but you'll have to trade one to get a respectable sg. And i think the Anderson/Armstrong combo fits my team's running game better than Big Z.  Your team is too flawed.

Gasol is better offensively sure, but is week defensively.  I think my team will shut your team down, and really will pummel your bench.  Your bench is full of rookies thats arent even top 15 picks.  That really is just pretty bad

Sorry, Daye was number 15

Your bench will pummel my bench in the 4th quarter when we're up by 30. During the game when it counts, my bench will be fine b/c one of CP3 and Kevin MArtin will always be in and one of Gasol and Horford. Anderson, Armstrong J-will and Arroyo have all started before and will compliment my starters well. Again you might win garbage time to cut my lead down to 20. But reagrding my rookies that won't have to play much at all this year, except for garbage time, I think Daye, Johnson and Buddinger will make better players in the long run than everyone on your bench minus the Cavs. lol.

I dont think your team scores over 90

Maybe not, but will get 90 by the first minute of the second half. i think you can keep us to 89 in the first half.

Defense wins championships, your team doesnt have enough of it, and playing your starters as much as your talking will have them dead in the water by playoffs, if you get there

I outlined minutes yesterday and all my starters were playing less than they did last year. My defense is solid, starting with Chris Paul. Your defense is very good. You do have that. It will get you into the playoffs.

[Rondo2287]

And when your starters are not playing you will be destroyed.  I think you are not accounting for the fact that even though you have cp3 on the floor your bench will still be exposed.  Having 3 starters on the floor doesnt make your bench less of a weakness you still have kids that will be overwhelmed.

Anderson started for the Nets last year. Armstrong  started games for the Hornets last year. jason williams started for the Heat two yrs ago and arroyo platooned with jameer.

[johnnyrondo]

Plus if you play guys like Bellineli, than my rookies can get in and get a confidence boost.

[Rondo2287]

Hes a legit NBA player which is more than can be said for half your bench.
