How is my Pick 2 team?

[Lucky17]

Folsom Prison Blue Therapists:

C:  Haywood / Hayes
PF: P. Gasol / A. Randolph
SF: Batum / J. Jones
SG: Bryant / B. Rush
PG: Billups / Redick

Looking pretty tough. Haywood provides some nastiness to frontcourt. Another big would round out the rotation nicely.

Wings and guards look solid too. Not sure if your last roster spot should go to an emergency PG, or a wing defender.

[Atzar]

Alright, Atlanta looks a little bit different this time around.

Devin Harris
Joe Johnson
Corey Brewer
Al Horford
Joel Przybilla

Ben Gordon
Al'Farouq Aminu
Ryan Anderson
Udonis Haslem

I'll probably do the whole "Przybilla starts the game but Haslem finishes it" thing.

Strongest division?



I say SouthEast. 

[Who]

Another trade changes things up a bit:

PG: Nash
SG: Afflalo
SF: Ariza
PF: Jamison
C: Bargnani

I'll be bringing Casspi and Mayo off the bench, and mixing and matching Wallace, McDyess, and McRoberts with Jamison and Bargs.

Trevor Ariza is a bad fit on a team with Steve Nash at the point. Too much standing around watching Nash dribble.

His shooting percentages will be comparable to what he does with Chris Paul.

[Who]

PG: Nash
SG: Afflalo
SF: Ariza
PF: Jamison
C: Bargnani

I'll be bringing Casspi and Mayo off the bench, and mixing and matching Wallace, McDyess, and McRoberts with Jamison and Bargs.

Josh McRoberts was a nice pickup. He offers the best mix of defense and rebounding at the PF spot on your team. His athleticism, ball-handling and passing ability will also make a nice glue guy offensively too.

Real good addition to your squad. Great fit.

Strongest division?



I say SouthEast. 

I'd probably say the Southeast as well, although the Pacific is very good top to bottom, and the Southwest can't be disregarded.  Lots of good teams in the Fake NBA.

[Who]

Alright, Atlanta looks a little bit different this time around.

Devin Harris
Joe Johnson
Corey Brewer
Al Horford
Joel Przybilla

Ben Gordon
Al'Farouq Aminu
Ryan Anderson
Udonis Haslem

I'll probably do the whole "Przybilla starts the game but Haslem finishes it" thing. 

I'd start Aminu over Corey Brewer. Better fit offensively -- Aminu has a jump shot plus he plays within his capabilities unlike Corey -- and more of a natural SF than Corey.

Udonis Haslem adds good quality to your bigs. They look really solid at this point.

[Roy H.]

Among guys with a minimum of 100 attempts on the season, and a minimum of three 3PTAs per game, Folsom Prison has four of the top 17 3PT shooters in the NBA (all over 40%).  Now, Phil Jackson just needs to make sure that Kobe occasionally passes them the ball.

TheWiz


PG  Wall
SG  Harden
SF  Green
PF  Bosh
C   Oden (next season)

Bench
PG  Blake
SG  Garcia
SF  R. Butler
C/PF Monroe
PF/C Humphries

Every player is an NBA rotation level player.  Good mix of experience and high ceiling talent. 


TheWiz are looking to sneak into the playoffs this season with an eye towards springing into contendership next year.

I like the team with Horford at PF. 

This team is one of the reason I think the SouthEast is the strongest division.

Run and gun.

You have to worry about if they are strong enough defensively to win.  A coach that preaches good team defense probably could get this team to play strong enough defense.  The current Knick's coach...

I like the team.  How fast Cousins develops this season is the key to whether or not Melo stays long term.

3 point shooter.  You can never have enough of them off the bench in the triangle offense.
