Meh - I don't really like my team. My starting lineup has great D and the ability to switch a lot of positions, but it gets diluted a lot by the bench players. Assists aren't great. Rebounds were somewhat intentionally not great, but I didn't make up for it enough elsewhere. My team's biggest strength is probably efficient scoring - the efg% for George, Brand, and Giannis doesn't blow you away, but they're also good to great free throw shooters - but it's not a big enough strength, IMO.

At first glance I thought you were light on both boards and assists, but it looks like both are happening by committee. You might actually be fine.

Yeah, I was bummed about missing on Barry and having to take Price's 37 def, but I'm actually more optimistic after plugging in undrafted players (which of course could still change depending on who is drafted in the last few picks). Undrafted guys will bring some rebounding and D and enough usage/assists to get by. It just may work.

Hmmm. Hate relying on Kobe's efg. Good D, better than expected efg. Not as many 3s as I would like

Man, there are two undrafted players I've been watching fall, and both of them would slot in really well on either ysw's or mikee's team.

Message me I'm in a bind!

I'm counting 36 players from the previous season of this draft that didn't get drafted this time around. (Five of them had been selected by banditone.)

Agree

Swen Nater! About as good a rebounder as there is in the sim, and a bad enough defender that I haven't seen him drafted for several seasons in this league.

Now that draft is over, I think, it would be very interesting if we do something like 52 or 53 million dollar draft with everyone being forced to accept one famous player that almost never gets drafted, like Nate Thurmond, Elvin Hayes, Allen Iverson, or other players people are too afraid to try. And not only do they have accept that famous player, they have to play that player more than 2000 minutes in the season or they have to forfeit their playoff spots.

$52 mil would be too high of a cap for that. More like $47 mil or maybe $50 mil. And it may be harder than you think to figure out who those 24 guys are gonna be. But really, that's the concept of LTB's Joes not Pros league, which everyone needs to come join in the classifieds!

Are you sure? Because this is a league I envision everyone needing to lock up 8 to 10 million dollars on players like Thurmond or Hayes. In fact, we may force people to select a season that is more than $7 million for these "Joe"s . If it is $47 million, you are basically asking someone to build a team with $40 million dollars that can hide all the problems that big Joe has.

In fact, we may want to try both 47 mil version and 57 mil version. 47 mil version will have players fight over getting the best of "Joe" possible while 57 mil version will have players fight over "least restrictive" of the Joes. Totally different emphasis, I think.
