Is Your Pick Two Team Better than When it Started?

[Edgar]

Miller,Hamilton,Artest,Shard, Howard and Dunleavy

Come on even on real NBA this will be the team to beat
with only this 6 playing

One more to come tomorrow...anyone guess or can help
in the profile of the 7th player on the champions

I don't like artest (he would be the guy jacking up threes instead of passing it into howard a la carter), but the rest of your team seems like a good fit.

This years artest learn kobe have the ball
this years artest respects dwight equally.
 
If this years artest dont respect that
this years artes will smell the bench to Dunleavy
who is great hitting 3s actually

I'm starting to get really annoyed with not improving my team further. To rectify that, I'm going to write a long winded diatribe about it most of you probably won't finish while I enjoy the wonderful programming on a thursday.

Harris
Sefelosha
Casspi
Lee
Lopez

Idealistic Pros:

Harris is still young, and had a borderline all-star season last year. This year he's been inconsistent, and kinda pouty at times, but idealistically (see that? see what I did there?) a lot of that you can chalk up to a season mired in uncertainty and an expectation to frankly, fail. Couple that with obviously drastic changes in the wind and an impending move, change in ownership, and open desire from the Nets management to shed all salary not taken by Brook Lopez, and you can understand the man's frustration.

Sefelosha is a very good defensive wing. Just very very good. He's dedicated to his role too. He also bounced back from a career low in 3's last season to up his rate to 33% this season, which while not spectacular, isn't terrible either. He also plays alongside Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, who are both excellent scorers in their own right, no Thabo has never really been asked to expand his role with the thunder. He has nonetheless managed to hold off James Harden thusfar this season both for playing time and the starting role. I don't think he can really improve too much more as an offensive creator, but I don't think he's reached his offensive ceiling yet either. I think he can top out somewhere around 9 points per game, and up his 3pt % to around 35%.

Omri Casspi has been one of the top three rookies for nearly all season. Nobody has noticed because he plays behind the best rookie, Tyreke Evans. He's an excellent 3pt shooter, and on top of that, his biggest knock coming into the season was his 3pt shot. He's primarily known as a hard nosed passionate player, and a slasher. He'll be a cornerpiece on my franchise

David Lee is another 100% player kinda guy, and this season he's averaging 19pts and 11 rebounds. He's got an okay mid range shot, and he's not scared to put the ball on the floor. He's not known as much of a defender, but he's used to defending centers. He shouldn't be overmatched every night so much against smaller 4's, and he's fast enough to guard them. I hope.

Brook Lopez is one of the best young centers in the league, bar none. Behind 'the Dwight', he may be the best. He's averaging 19pts and 9 boards on an awful team. He's also grabbing 2 blocks per game.

I see my starting 5 as an inside out kind of team, that will get better as they all mature. The oldest guy out there is David Lee's 26. I picked guys that I think are dedicated, and guys that will gel without egos. Maybe we're not quite a playoff team yet, but Nets management under my vision will be patient enough to allow them to develop. In a lot of ways, we're trying to mold ourselves after the OKC thunder. Not Roy's ridiculous incarnation, but the actual team. (wink!)

Cynically pragmatic (or pragmatically cynical?) diagnoses:

Devin Harris was a borderline all-star last year. That was when they ran the ball primarily through Vince Carter. They traded Carter, and put two young wings out there and have been letting Harris run the show. He's responded with a big stinking pile of shaving cream for his play. Can't say that gives me huge amounts of confidence to run my squad.

Thabo Sefelosha creates his own shot about as well as Milli Vanilli creates music. That is all.

Omri Casspi was one of the best rookies in the league coming into the new year. Since then he's been demoted to second string at times, he's complained about playing time, and his numbers have dropped. Flash in the pan? I'm gonna hope not.

David Lee gets a stellar near 20-10 average, On. The. Knicks. He scores a lot of his points because he can outquick the bigger centers. He's not necessarily going to have that same option against 4's. His rebounding will probably drop too because he's playing next to someone who actually rebounds.

Brook Lopez..well he's just awesome.

I cynically see this as a team that cannot score, and is lacking a battle tested defensive leader. So, if I plan to have a defensively sound team, a lot of things have to go right. David Lee needs to improve because he's facing smaller assignments (literally). Brook Lopez is going to need to evolve into a legit defensive powerhouse of a center, quickly. Casspi, Harris will need to commit 100% against opposing teams. That's a lot of ifs.

The next two picks are going to matter a lot for me.

Yeah, I wouldn't take him cuz he's one of those guys I just loathe, but what he lacks offensively he makes up for on defense, and we know that defense can win championships . This is a very strong team, Edgar ... nice job - TP! (I'm still lovin' my Boyz to this point tho')

will see ..
Its probably time to draft thinking finales

[wdleehi]

The new LA Pigs.


PG  Foye
SG  Kobe
SF  Turk
PF  Gasol
C   Gortat


Bench

SG/PG  Redick  (He works as a PG in the Triangle offense much like a Ron Harper.  Kobe and Turk are the true PGs)


Offensively, the team is strong.  The next couple of roll players need to bring the defense.

Get the right coach (defensive minded) I think you might be able to train these guys right.  Need a true offensive weapon.

Get the right coach (defensive minded) I think you might be able to train these guys right.  Need a true offensive weapon. 

Well my first move would be to reinstate Lawrence Frank as head coach, a position he (very unjustly) was stripped of.

[Roy Hobbs]

C: Oden
PF: Brand
SF: Durant
SG: Morrow
PG: Westbrook

BN: Charlie Villanueva

The team definitely could use some wing defense, but I like it.

[Edgar]

I will give a round 6 and 2 round 9 yes thats 3 PICKS!!!
for one 5th rounder
thats a good deal for teams looking for deepness
and good young cheap players

[KCattheStripe]

I can say without a doubt the Bulls are better.

[PLamb]

C: Oden
PF: Brand
SF: Durant
SG: Morrow
PG: Westbrook

BN: Charlie Villanueva

The team definitely could use some wing defense, but I like it.

Definitely a team keeping their fingers crossed on Brand and Oden's health

Westbrook, Morrow and Durant are gold offensively though

[Bahku]

My starting five, (Melo, Billups, Okur, J. Howard, and Harrington), are averaging 91.5 PPG ... not bad. Defensively not as strong, but we'll see what we can do in the next rounds. (Bayless off the bench)

[wdleehi]

C: Oden
PF: Brand
SF: Durant
SG: Morrow
PG: Westbrook

BN: Charlie Villanueva

The team definitely could use some wing defense, but I like it.

I just don't like Brand here.  A lot of money for a guy that will likely be more of an anchor then a help by the time the rest of the team is ready to compete.  


Rest of the team looks good and a major contender in the future.

[RebusRankin]

Rondo
Richardson
Jefferson
KG
Pryzbilla

Bench: JJ Hickson

[Edgar]

C: Oden
PF: Brand
SF: Durant
SG: Morrow
PG: Westbrook

BN: Charlie Villanueva

The team definitely could use some wing defense, but I like it.

I think Brand could reflourish in that enviroment
and probably be a leader again
hes averaging good numbers right now
and Durant is a more intelligent player
Charlie V just needs to stay healthy
but here hes just have to bring scoring from the bench
something he loves to do

And we all know Brand is to Hobbs what Miller is to Edgar
