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

[Lucky17]

Anyone brave enough to rank the divisions?


(2-6 after the Central of course)

Not interested in the divisions. I have a pretty good idea who my playoff teams will be though.

East - Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Indiana, New York, Orlando and Washington

West - Dallas, LA Lakers and LA Clippers, New Orleans, Phoenix, Portland, Utah ... with a photo finish between GSW and Denver for the eight seed. Leaning towards GSW.

Thanks for putting Washington lol Southeast with 3 teams in the playoffs we clearly are the best division

The Central Division says hello. And either the Pacific or the Northwest may have all 4.

BOO

It was the injury to Derrick Rose. Otherwise Brooklyn would be in there.

No OKC?

i agree, they are solid team but with rose and shumpert injured id be suprised if they make the playoffs

I think Cousins is a top 5 center, Ryan Anderson according to advanced stats was a top 5 PF last year. George will continue to improve and could give top 5 production at the 3. We can spread the floor knock down shots and play defense. I think we're a playoff team then once Rose is back we're a contender.

I think I had them 10th in the West. They have been ahead of one or two playoff teams in the East though. I can't remember.

I'll keep them to myself for now. Still working on them.

I think Washington was 4th or 5th in the East.

I feel like Ibaka and Bynum would put them ahead of GS for at least 8th. Is their perimeter game that bad?

I dunno, I'm still determining how I will play my team during the regular season.  I will continue the pop tradition of random days off for Duncan.

PG: Chalmers, Billups, Jimmer
SG: DeRozan, Lee
SF: C.Butler, R.Lewis, Aminu

I think I may end up rating GSW higher than most. During the draft, it felt like I rated a few of their players higher than most others do. Plus, I like unconventional lineups.

So I imagine it's part Golden State and part questions about OKC's personnel outside of Ibaka and A.Bynum (a big man combo I love).

I think that perimeter group is pretty weak. No star talent. No average to above average starter on the perimeter. All well below average starters - although I'm sure some are higher on Caron + DeRozan than I am.

I think they have a good bench though. Billups and Lee are good reserves. Kaman is very good. Rashard is mostly and unknown quantity at this stage. I thought Markieff Morris was a disappointment. I expected more of him. 

In terms of offense, I don't think they have a genuine first option. I consider A.Bynum more of a second option. A lack of quality shot-creators alongside Bynum. A lack of playmaking from their guards and wings. Offensively, a weak team.

I love Ibaka and A.Bynum but I the other question marks keep OKC out of the playoffs for me.

I feel like Bynum and Ibaka would shut down Dwight..would essentially daring joe Johnson to beat us with derozan and lee guarding him
