Now that i have my guys in place, i'll post.
Please keep in mind when your evaling that my strat once sattled with the worst picking power in the draft was to be built for the future with alot of young players that championship cailber teams will come calling for in the trading period while still being competitive, allowing us to be movers in that period to aquire fictional future draft picks/ young prospects.
Current Roster:
mario chalmers
eric gordon
trevor ariza
martell webster
micheal beasly
sideshow bob
JJ hickson
earl watson
martin gortat
bobby simmons
sebastion telfair
demarcus nelson
sasha pavlachuck
tony allen
Very, very rough draft of our rotation.
PG: Mario Chalmers (32-36 MPG)/ Earl Watson (10-12 MPG)/ Bassy (DNP-2 MPG)
SG: Eric Gordon (36-38 MPG)/ Martell webster (8-10 MPH)
SF: Trevor Ariza (34-36 MPG)/ Martell Webster (6-10 MPG)
PF: Beasley (32-34 MPG)/ sideshow bob (4-8 MPG)/ JJ Hickson (rest MPG)
C: Gortat (26-32 MPG)/ sideshow (10-20 MPG)
I think the above rotation will certainly not beat the elite 8-10 teams in the draft, but against our division and conference, i think, were we to keep it together with no trades, this team could contend for a low playoff spot. We play very good defense at 3 major positions between chalmers, ariza, and gortat.
we also have a good offensive flow in gordon and chalmers running pick and roles/pops off beasly, ariza/webster slashing, and gordon, ariza, and webster's outside shooting.
Both AV and gortait also get offensive rebounds at a good rate, so they should be fantastic garbage men.
Off the bench we have a super sub in both the front court (Sideshow) and at the wings (webster, who was playing extremely well in portland as the starting SF before last year's foot injury, and as he is all of 20 years old, i see no reason that shouldn't come back to form.)
watson is a solid backup for us, as is hickson. we have good role players in simmons, sasha, bassy and nelson who won't have major roles, but will be available for spot minutes.
Even Tony allen may see the very end of our bench as an emergancy 2/3 defensive sub if we have a rash of injuries.
overall, i think we're fairly solid as a team of the future (though surely not the best)now, and have 4 players im receiving inquires about almost daily from clubs looking to go over the top in the championship voting through thier bench (ariza, AV, gortait, and recently webster.)
Thoughts?
