Is Your Pick Two Team Better than When it Started?

[Who]

I don't like Jeff Green's defensive play at the four. His man-to-man defense is poor and his team defense is below par. I like him defensively as a small forward (very good man-to-man + good team defense with lots of room for improvement) but then his offense falls off.

Jeff Green still hasn't found his place (position) in the NBA.

[fairweatherfan]

My team is most certainly better. More injury prone? yes. Older? You betcha. Just about as expensive? probably. However, when healthy we have the talent to compete for a championship, this is something the old Wizards could not say

Don't worry there is still some talent to be had to step in and helpd with an injury.

Well, after his rookie season struggles, a lot of your team's success depends on whether your coaches can turn Thabeet around.

Well it's a good thing the size of my 2/3/4 allows some versatility for different match-ups.  Don't forget Thornton off the bench.

I like what I've seen from Thabeet but then again I like Sam Dalembert too!

So take that for what it's worth.

I don't think it's possible to be more injury prone than the current Washington Wizards.

I don't like Al Thornton. A very bad defensive player, a poor rebounder, a bad passer and an inefficient scorer who can only function in isolations (go-to guy). In terms of current ability, he doesn't deserve to be a rotation player in this league.

He does have some upside to him, if someone can get through to him on his shot selection + teach him to play serviceable defense + get him to rebound a little more, then he'll become a good sixth man who's useful for his go-to scoring ability. A lot of "if"'s for a guy who is already 26 years old and has been in the league for three years.

I would have liked Thornton lower down in the draft where the downside + level of risk would have been comparable to other options.

I will take that as a positive statement about my team and I thank you.

So nobody got my oh so clever Miami Sound Machine reference?  "Turn Thabeet around?"  Eh? Eh? Nudge nudge, say n'more?

[Lucky17]

I drafted Bibby, thinking Hinrich could become the backup PG/SG, depending on matchups:

PG: Bibby
SG: B Gordon
SF: Prince
PF: Bosh
C:  Perkins

B:  Hinrich

With my next three picks, I'll likely get backups for my frontcourt and wing.

I'm embarassed to say I did not get it at first but now that you pointed out, I have to say very clever.

TP for the Booo-urns, nobody gets it when I do that either  

While we're here, please judge me!

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Eric Gordon
SF: Marvin Williams
PF: Boris Diaw
C: Yao Ming

Bench
PF: DeJuan Blair
C: DeAndre Jordan
SG/SF: Dahntay Jones

[Who]

While we're here, please judge me!

C: DeAndre Jordan
SG/SF: Dahntay Jones

I would try to stick with role players with a better balance between their defense + jump shot. Someone like a Keith Bogans. You have enough shot creators in the lineup already, best to surround them with players who are finishers to punish teams that try to help off of your role players.

DeAndre Jordan isn't ready to be a worthy rotation player yet but he's a nice long term prospect. Very good rebounder and a nice finisher around the rim who plays within himself. Can't play defense to save his life though.
