Alvin Robertson/Jon Barry/TJ McConnell
Gerald Wallace/James Johnson/Nick Anderson
Draymond Green/Kyle Anderson/J Johnson/Barkley
Charles Barkley/Domantas Sabonis/Jokic
Nikola Jokic/Tom Boerwinkle/Sabonis

The strategy is to get to 90%+ AST with Jokic/Draymond/Boerwinkle/Domantas/SloMo boosting us from the frontcourt, while playing with a rebounding advantage from Alvin Robertson and Crash in the backcourt. Jon Barry and Nick Anderson hopefully supplement Jokic and Draymond/Barkley’s 3s enough to make it not a weakness. No real usage hogs aside from the super efficient Barkley and Jokic so hopefully they take most of our shots with a bump on efficiency from all of the passing. We’ll see.

i dont think im alone in saying that this is the team im most interested in seeing how it turns out

jon barry and tj were really great late additions to this team

is tj the best low usg backup pg in savage now? i still remember getting laughed at irl during the tanking days when i insisted tj was gonna stick around long term in the nba

I had completely missed McConnell's new 20-21 season, which is filthy. He's definitely a heck of a backup for the likes of Stockton, Kidd, Terry Porter, etc.

Great write up dh.

How in the absolute **** was Reggie Miller still undrafted in the 12th? I almost took him in the 12 on principal but Hayward made more sense for what I needed. It’s crazy.

Okay, here goes:
Round 1

Round 2

Round 3

Round 4

Round 5

Round 6

Round 7

Round 8

Round 9

Round 10

Round 11

Round 12

Doug Christie. I'm-a symbolically pour one out because my man deserves better

I'm all in with this roster. No second guessing or lineup changes for me. There is barely a wasted season ... in fact Mark West and Terrence Jones, my 10th and 11th round picks, were the first and only players I drafted with seasons I didn't intend to use. Every team is between 19.2k and 19.6k minutes, with the single remaining West and Jones seasons as the only usable roster fodder. I won't see any fatigue, but I have pretty much no where to go if a lineup isn't working. It's a pretty risky strategy with a huge question mark like Westbrook. We shall see if it pays off.

It’s bold and I like it. I played it pretty tight with minutes in season 2 and I recall one team that hit a five OT game and never recovered. The other 4 had no excuses though.

Both surprised and excited to see Westbrook get that much run. I have little doubt you will excel.

lol - to do that in this league is insane. What an incredible flex. If you somehow win the league doing that, including beating Ben's Lebron squad, then we should bow down to you as the SIM god forever.

Doug Christie. I'm-a symbolically pour one out because my man deserves better

I was very close to picking him over Hawkins in the 12th after Anderson was taken, but decided I needed Hawkins' 3s more than Christie's D.

My last three picks are currently the only picks I don’t plan to play their full compliment.

I am not digging the 3PM count though so I might need to up them.

Simmons/Bledsoe/Jameer
Kawhi/Bledse/JR Smith
Holmes/Henson/Tyler committee
Bam/Caldwell Jones/Sam Lacey
Moses/Caldwell Jones

Well I certainly hope this team fairs better than the last couple. The numbers on my top 2 teams look very good (thank you Bam), teams 3 and 4 pretty good. 5 will have some work to do to stay .500. I felt a little bit lucky in this draft. In the past I felt like there were a couple guys that would be perfect and would then get grabbed and I'd be scrambling. This time, perhaps because I was ok drafting less seasons/minutes earlier, there was always someone I was happy with. Simmons in the 3rd was a key for me. If he was gone I don't know what I would have done, probably would have gone Capela which may have ultimately had a negative effect. Bledsoe was nice with Kawhi being light on minutes and Simmons with 4 seasons. Bird and Durant are great, but there is so much late value with SF I really enjoyed plucking guys. There were so many good SF late.

so was I, but instead of the other Hawkins. I thought I needed Christie's 3s but went with Hawkins' rebounding instead

Kidd/Richardson
Kobe/Melo
Outlaw/Oakley
Capela/Oakley
Davis/Lanier

1 season of Beverley backs up Kobe for Davis’ 1 SF season (Kobe plays some SF)
Otherwise usage comes from SG and C.

eFG is biggest challenge- will be in the 52-53% range
defense will average 80 across 5 teams
rebounding pretty strong

The exact opposite of last seasons Curry eFG teams. Could be a total flop or could be a stellar regular season construction where defense and rebounding churns out wins. Not sure I have a champion if I spread talent across 5 teams but maybe I can find the right combo with the SF Davis/Beverley squad.

Jrue/ MJax/ Ingles
Danny Green/ Reggie/ Jaylen
Mason/ JaMychal/ Jaylen/ Ingles
Hakeem/ Daugherty/ Mason
Big Ben/ Przybilla

Mainly because of Mason's varying position %, and Usg, I'm going to have a few different looks. Think I'll be solid at most things, but not exceptional at anything. Recipe for 18th-place. At least I did what I wanted to try after drafting Dream; decent floor-spacers around a franchise-big.

You stole Beverley from me just to play one of his seasons, at SF???

My heart weeps.
