PF: Serge Ibaka

SG: Brandon Knight
PG: Andre Igoudala

Interesting that you chose to list Iggy as the PG and Knight as the SG.

But I guess they're probably interchangeable.  Iggy takes the tougher defensive assignment, and both share the ball handling duties.

Please take a moment to check the roster thread, if I don't have all your players down, let me know.

Yeah, I think Iggy can be slotted at SG but still be the main ball handler though. It's really just about semantics here, but I see the logic in it.

Yeah, I would think Knight brings the ball up the court but Iggy runs the half court offense.

I really like the chemistry between B.Knight and Iggy. I think that will work really well.

That Bosh pick was pretty ballsy. Tremendous combination of high-end star and roleplayer talent if he's healthy.

Even without him, I think you are looking like a decent imitation of the Wizards LeBron team with AB and Jae as support pieces.

Chris Bosh playing will make this one of the favorites. But I think it will contend for a Playoff spot if he isn't. There's plenty of defense here, and Rus is a stud.

Ugh, I hope this isn't going to make anyone angry, but I'm considering Bosh as "out" for this draft. There's zero credible evidence I have seen that suggest he will actually ever play again. Wasn't even on my draft board.

I know he wants to, but that doesn't mean anyone will let him.

To be fair, I am too.

But Rus, TT and Ariza make for a competent defensive team. If BATF can get a competent 2nd scorer next to them, they could make some noise.

Yeah, love the Ariza pick, I'm obviously a huge fan. Anyone in the league that shall not be mentioned can attest.

This is going to be a fantastic defensive team. But it will need to be, not a whole of of offensive creators outside of PG13. Points will be tough to come by I suspect.

On a side note, I was totally bummed you picked Jokic. He was very high on my draft board, advanced stats love him.
