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

[WeMadeIt17]

Feel like Bargs is a 7 footer he can some what handle his own, a long with ibaka helping out.. he avg. 3.3 blocks a game.. Plus this draft is far from over.

Pg:
Sg: Monta Ellis
Sf: Kawhi Leonard
Pf: Blake Griffin
 C: Marc Gasol

Thoughts?

Not sure how to explain it other than to say it kinda fits. Nice.

Sf: Kawhi Leonard
Pf: Blake Griffin
 C: Marc Gasol

Thoughts?

I like Blake Griffin and Marc Gasol. They'll play really well together. Kawhi Leonard is a fine young forward. The frontcourt is in great shape with those three guys.

The jury is still out on Monta Ellis. Depends on how you fill out your backcourt.

I think a lot rides on the PG. I like the skill and talent of your forwards/bigs. You'll need someone who can run the offense and make sure that Monta doesn't end up dominating the ball to the exclusion of his teammates.

Thoughts on my team? If you are going to criticize try and be constructive about it (ie tell me ways in which I could improve it).

Team is listed in the signature.

I don't think Jeremy Lin is a long-term viable starting PG in the NBA.  Not a bad guy to have off the bench but not someone who should be starting, IMO.

Pg-rubio
Sg-
Sf-melo
Pf-bargs
C-ibaka

Offense will not be a problem. Rubio will be able to create for others, and you have good shooting from Bargs and Melo.

I think this team absolutely needs an elite defender at the 2.

Rubio will be a little slower/weaker as he recovers (hopefully fully) from that knee injury. Melo can play passable defense, but Bargnani is a real negative in that respect. It's possible Ibaka may end up committing fouls trying to recover from the overall porous defense of his teammates.

Through 4 rounds and with the 2nd pick tomorrow:

San Antonio Spurs:

C: Brook Lopez
PF: Taj Gibson
SF:
SG: James Harden
PG: John Wall


Gonna have a tough time picking the right SF, lots of thinking to do.

Hands down front runner for team of the future. Very nice job constructing of your team.

Team is listed in the signature.

Brooklyn Nets
1. Jeremy Lin
2. Kevin Martin
3. Wilson Chandler
4. Ryan Anderson/Kenneth Faried
5. DeMarcus Cousins
Next pick 6.6, 6.22

Has a lot of potential to score a ton of points, not very many ego clashes at all, defense is a huge concern.

A lot like the pre-Melo Knicks.

Well I guess we're going to see next season. I think he is.

In the vein of keeping the criticism constructive if you were me you would pick another pg with your next selection?

Do you think it's more important to add wing defense or post defense to make my team better?

[riah32]

KC, your Lakers squad is looking good. Gay will work much better with a PG like Jrue, I think.

Rebus and I like how things are taking shape, but we still have plans for improvement.

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Wes Matthews
SF:
PF: Andy Varejao
C:  Nene

AV and Nene may switch assignments on defense. We like CP3 and Nene in the pick and roll, with Andy crashing the offensive boards and Wes on the perimeter to knock down open shots.

I like how this team is shaping up. I think Varejao could play with Nene on the court at the same time. Matthews is a solid shooter and should get plenty of looks with CP3 penetration. The only think that might be cause for concern is can Varejao hang with quicker 4's in the league?

I would certainly consider it.

I think WD's Pacers are right up there in terms of future-ness:

PG: Rondo
SG:
SF: Batum
PF: Scola
C:  Monroe

Both teams could also make noise in the playoffs, depending on how things go this season.

I think he can absolutely hang with the quicker 4's. He is actually pretty quick which can be seen if you watch him hedging on a pick and roll.
