The final piece of the puzzle is in place. Finally I can stay I have a championship team after today's picks.
PG: Jason Terry, Ty Lawson
SG: Joe Johnson, Mike Dunleavy, Roger Mason
SF: Andrei Kirilenko, Vince Carter (or vice versa by matchup)
PF: LaMarcus Aldridge, Amir Johnson, Josh McRoberts
C: Andris Biedrins, Nikola Pekovic, Cole Aldrich
Lots of lean, athletic guys and outside shooting there. Defense isn't great, but it's at least cohesive (even if I tend to overrate Biedrins's capabilities...good lord I hope he has a bounceback year) but I think the offense will make up for it, and I think my depth is a nice feature as well.
Particularly Josh McRoberts, who will probably average a quadruple double this season if Jim O'Brien finally plays him. He also gives me the chance to throw a Dunleavy/Kirilenko/McRoberts/Biedrins/Aldrich whiteout lineup on the court, so I've got that going for me.
That said, while there's talent, there aren't a lot of likable guys on this roster. I doubt I took many people's "binkies" when drafting this squad, but I think they can push through and finally get me higher than an 8 seed in the playoffs.
Thoughts? Trade ideas? I also have Christian Eyenga, so a 2-for-1 swap on a smaller scale would be ok in my book.
