2012 - CB Draft: "How's My Team Look?"

[Lucky17]

76er's

pg: Ty Lawson
sg: Arron Afflalo
sf: Paul Pierce
pf: Brandon Bass
c: Marcus Camby

Bench: 6.4, 6.9, 6.12

Moved Millsap in order to create one of the deepest teams and best benches. Also allows my 1-3 positions to be the natural scorers they are.

Those 6th round selections will be crucial.

Did you originally start with Aldridge, but then trade him for Millsap?

Ya basically Aldridge to Millsap to Bass plus 6th rounders

Brand played defense at a KG-like level last year.  For real.

Show me someone, any well respected basketball spots writer who corroborates this, and I'll stater to believe it.

I'm sure you've found some numbers that help you out. I be they're good number, too. But when KG was pretty widely considered the 3rd best defender in the league last year (of youre no counting Howard), I can't think Brand was there at 3a.

I'll wait for press conferences, but I've got the data and "respected basketball spots writer" to back it up.

Every year this draft reinforces that people have an extremely hard time backing away from their preconceived notions.  The good thing is that those folks who are open-minded can learn a lot from the stuff presented here.

The CB Draft:  Not only is it super competitive, but it's educational, too!

PG:Ricky Rubio
SG:Courtney Lee
SF:Carmelo Anthony
PF:Serge Ibaka
 C:Perkins
Bench: Andrea Bargnani

Right now we are having Bargnani as 6th many with heavy minutes (more than Perk)we will see as the draft moves forward,we have a bunch picks(sig is not updated). I see us as a running team that can score a ton of points with anyone and with the addition of Lee and Perk with Ibaka our D is looking solid. Bargs has also stepped up his defense in the last year and is now consider a good defender and Rubio is no slouch on either end of the floor!

Thoughts at this point of the draft?

I think this is a very smart way to build around Carmelo.  I'd like to see one better scorer in the starting lineup ideally, but you've done well transforming your team.

Or, maybe another scorer (shot-creator) off the bench in addition to Bargnani. Maybe a wing (probably a SG) or a combo guard who can play well alongside Rubio (without taking too much away from Rubio).

If you can't get another scorer in the starting unit without hurting the lineup's integrity defensively, I think that would be the next best option. Two strong scorers off the bench and have one of the more prolific bench scoring units in the league.

Get the extra offensive punch / balance that way.

Seems like the cooking its almost ready

Lebron / Brand
Green
TBD / Gordon
Lowry

Varejao
Lebron / Brand
Green
TBD / Gordon
Lowry

I thought you'd acquire Andy to play him at PF, but it looks like you're committed to go with LeBron at the 4 full time? Maybe mix and match depending on the opponent?

Bron
Gordon Lowry
Green
Brand  TBD (with 2 more picks this round)
Varejao

basicamente the 8 man rotation is all set

p.s. this is the big ball lineup

[nickagneta]

Varejao
Lebron / Brand
Green
TBD / Gordon
Lowry

Much better than the last time I commented. I love the small ball lineup with Varejao, LeBron, Green, Gordon and Lowry.
