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

[Rondo2287]

The Hawks

PG: George Hill
SG: Kobe/Grant Hill
SF: Mbah A Moute/Grant Hill
PF: David West
C:  Tim Duncan/Sam Dalembert

Nice thing about this is that there can be times where I play Grant at the SF and Mbah A Moute at the PF with Duncan when West is Resting.

Yet another solid pick in Grant Hill for this team.  (At least in my eyes where I didn't see him play much last season so I'm remembering more of the Grant Hill from a year ago.  He did have quite a statistical drop this season.)

Question:  You have two G Hill's on the team.  Is the extra split second that Kobe will need to read the Ge. Hill or Gr. Hill and figure out which player it is before he passes the ball going to lead to potential extra turnovers?

No way, because kobe follows this strategy

PG-Rubio
SG-Brooks
SF-Melo
PF-Blak

Well, kind of a moot point now:

Bulls:

Jrue Holiday/Jarret Jack
Dwyane Wade
Paul Pierce
Chris Bosh/Thad Young
Emeka Okafor/Brendan Haywood

I like what you've done here with this trade.  Overall improvement.  Thad Young will be a good PF for this team and he can be a good fit here when/if Bosh plays center.

Pretty typical Walker Wiggle team. High pick the was controversial but ripe with 'I told you so' potential? Check. Using players in unorthodox positions, in an attempt to maximize mismatches, even though he knows he will get hit for it come voting? Check. A center nobody feels good about but there is a bounty of evidence that he'll be able to do what he says he can? Check.

Gimme something better than Channing Frye and I'm on board for a playoffs birth.

Controversial? You were on board with first round Greg Oden selections for three straight years.

Thanks for nothing.

I'm conventional!

TP, that is the correct answer I was looking for.

I feel like every other post on this board is asking what people think of the knicks.

[Kane3387]

Boston Celtics
Center - Andrew Bynum
PF - Ersan Ilyasova
SF - Kevin Durant
SG - Jodie Meeks
PG - Jose Calderon

Bench: Jameer Nelson, Jamal Crawford, Ron Artest, Udonis Haslem

[Lucky17]

Now that we've got eight players, it might be time for us to start asking how we look:

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Wes Matthews/Landry Fields
SF: Danny Granger/Stephen Jackson
PF: Nene/Michael Beasley
C:  Spencer Hawes/Nene

Two picks coming up in the 9th. Thinking about another guard and another big, but perhaps I'm overlooking something that needs to be addressed.

TPs for constructive feedback.

Your team looks like it's going to be best off with a 9 man rotation and PG is only slot left to be filled to complete that rotation. So that's the only immediate need. The only priority.

From there, it's just adding third stringers.

Guys who offer specific (but limited) skill-sets to offer your team something different in various situations where you feel they can help. A sharp-shooter on the wing perhaps. A more defensively capable PF behind Beasley in case that is what you want next to Nene (C). A bigger defensive orientated center behind Hawes (to help Nene). A third ball-handling lead guard (what type best fits depends some on your primary backup PG).

Something along those lines would be my first choice with your final four picks (after you pick a PG with your next pick).

Thanks, Who. TP paid.

I think we'd be open to consolidating some of the talent for upgrades, but even if we don't find the right trade, I think we've done a decent job.

One of those players you mentioned, a center, came off the board this round. I kept going back and forth between him and Jackson, but thought he'd be a little bit of a reach and would be there in the 9th. Looks like I was wrong.

I like the depth here.   Pretty solid squad.

Interested to see what you do at the backup PG spot.
