18)beloud: Overall it looks like about 105 - 115 Usage% on the floor most of the time, Weighted EFG of about 56%, OReb roughly 44%, DReb roughly 94%, Ast roughly 63%, 80 weighted avg team defense, and To’s and Fouls are above average. My only concern is if Fat Lever ultimately helps you in the possession battle more than he hurts EFG. Overall excellent draft. I am giving you a chewy score of 77.5. (Highest so far)

Charles Barkley

Barkley went a little early for my liking but a good pick. Barkley provides Outstanding EFG at a high 26.7 usage but not great DReb for a PF. I think Barkely holds more value playing SF but his OReb is great. Defense is below average, TO's are too high, and Fouls are just ok. His defense should be sheltered by the versatility of elite defenders all around everywhere else.

Paul George

Paul George is a reigning champ. Although I think his highest value comes at playing SG. Paul George provides ok EFG efficiently, good rebounding and pretty good ast%. He also provides elite defense at multiple positions and obviously gives you plenty of 3's.

Jimmy Butler

Jimmy Butler provides just below avg EFG, but his value is his Defense, Rebounding, good Ast%, with very clean TO's and fouls. I'd like this more if he was going to play PG.

Robert Williams

This piece fits very well with Barkley, PG, and Jimmy Butler. Robert Williams is a guy with Ultra elite EFG but from an extremely low Usage rate, great defense, good OReb only, with clean TO's and Fouls. If he could improve his DReb, his value would increase.

Derrick Favors

Derrick Favors also fits in nicely with this team. Elite EFG from a 19.4% usage rate, great defense, clean TO's and fouls, and good OReb. Like Rob Williams, DReb is a little light for a PF/C.

Daniel Gafford

Gafford seems to be that super quality player who just never plays a lot of minutes. He provides super EFG, great Def, but fouls a lot and DReb is good only if playing SF.

Fat Lever

I have Fat Lever in Savage X and I like what he brings. I just don't think his EFG is worthy of being used in this 52 format. Yes, super elite Rebounding for a PG with 80 def, awesome cleanliness. But that EFG. I think you still could have had him and drafted someone else with one of your 6th round picks.

Thanks for the eval, chewy. Jimmy Buckets will come off the bench and play 11 mins at PG and 14 mins at SG, backing up Lever and Playoff P. I agree that I most likely would've been able to get Lever post-draft but I decided to play it safe and used one of my 6th round picks on him. I was still able to get what I needed out of the SF position to cover Barkley. All 4 of my SFs are good to great defensively (100, 99, 91, 86) and can guard the PF position. I'm pretty satisifed with my draft this season. You mentioned my main concern: defensive rebounding. I only have 3 guys with dReb higher than 20 and none of them play more than 13 mpg. I'm worried that teams with strong oReb will have a field day against me.
