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

[Rondo2287]

Any thoughts on the Blizz?

Billups
Johnson
---
Millsap
Howard

I think i have what it takes to take the northwest from Who's Jazz assuming i'm able to round out a rotation properly.

Definitely a solid core to build around assuming Chauncey comes back relatively healthy.  Millsap and Howard is impressive though.

Its gonna be a heck of a team in 2013-2014, as long as Pau and Crash don't fall off a cliff.

I think IP's telling you not to think about 2012-13 with Rose gone so long.

I am not sure about Tyreke Evans as PG for this lineup in the interim. He's a very gifted player, but not a natural PG. If you can find another one in these next few rounds, I'd feel a lot better about your team's ability to contend for a playoff spot.

Yeah the thing about Rose is that he is out until March. And after seeing TA and Perk with similar injuries he might not get back up to speed until 2014-15.

Denver Nuggets:

C - KG
PF - Boozer
SF - Trevor Ariza
SG - O.J. Mayo
PG - Mike Conley Jr.

Thoughts?

I think it could use some better shooters, especially someone who can hit threes; KG and Boozer are better jump shooters than your wings/guards. Neither Mayo nor Ariza are very efficient players. I think you've got the potential to field a decent defensive team.

Conley and Mayo can hit from deep.

Trevor Ariza, while not a great shooter from deep, is a decent one. Plus, TA is a good passer for a SF, long, athletic, and a good defender.

Don't agree with your assessment that KG and Boozer are better shooters than my wings and guards, at all.

I believe that as a whole my entire team can hit J's. But I believe I have sufficient offense to get the job done.

[GreenFaith1819]

The funny thing is that in past drafts, some here have raved on Boozer, lol...I guess it depends on who has him, right?

Last season's numbers (stats by ESPN and by Hoopdata):

Conley: 43.3 FG%, 37.7 3PT%
Mayo: 40.6 FG%, 36.4 3PT%
Ariza: 41.7 FG%, 33% 3PT%
Boozer: from 10-23 feet from the rim, shot 43-45 FG%
KG: from 10-23 feet from the rim, shot 40-48 FG%

By comparison, top-40 ranking for 3PT% is 38.5%. So Conley is probably around the top 50 in that regard.

Your guards and Ariza can hit jump shots, of course. But they don't seem to do it as consistently as your bigs. Perhaps I should have said "more consistent" than "better" in my post.
