I'll have to agree to disagree on the Johnson as a SF thing, I think it'll work and others seem to question it but what can ya do. I think he has the size for it, has played it effectively in the past, and his backup proves that you can make the jump and play effectively. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like you guys agree and if this were a more competitive draft, I'd probably try to make a move to sway the votes. Luckily it's not, and you guys can deal
As far as Amar'e goes, I picked Thomas and Vucevic because they can handle the 15-18 foot jumper and give him the room he needs to operate. They're also very good rebounders and tough defenders, and complement him well, in my opinion. Amar'e will play his fair share of center too, probably approaching half his minutes. I'd see Vucevic playing more minutes than Thomas and, if he continues the way he's been playing, taking over the starting role, but I wanted a veteran leadership presence to at least start off with.
With Holiday, he's not as great a distributor as I would've liked but he's been able to succeed this year because he's playing with great passers on the wings, like Iggy and Turner, who allow him to have a scorer's mentality. Johnson accomplishes the same thing, as one of the best passing wings around.
But all that's up for debate and I obviously see it a little differently. I'd say I'm probably a lock for the 4 seed, or so, which benefits me because I match up against the Heat much better than the Knicks. Howard and Millsap would be a tough draw for my frontcourt, but I like my chances against Miami. If I get that matchup, I think the Magic can make some serious noise.
