Yeah I am pretty mad at the league for letting Bobby Jones fall so far. I thought about him or Ho Grant at the 4 but wasn't convinced I could make the boards work.

wtf is happening here....i swore to myself the past three days i wouldnt pick this guy...then it became "well if this other guy is available i might be forced to do it...but theres no way thats happening"

now its happening!?

ughh....i need a few
We all know you want to do it. Don't be afraid. He's good value here! I thought pretty hard about him myself but didn't think I could make it work.
Update: he did it!
ho grant was the other guy...id never pass him up here...he fits on any team

amare was the guy i was dreading...i thought ho grant could at least give me a fighting chance on the boards if he was still there

Man, I seriously considered Bobby instead of Moncrief. Manu was my first choice, but that wasn't meant to be. Figured Bobby + Ben + Dwight would've killed my spacing and meant I'd have to get less desirable high-Usg down the line... Not sure yet if I made the right pick.

1. dh555 - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chauncey Billups, Horace Grant, Amare Stoudemire - I haven't played in a draft league with you in years and at the start of this thing, I said to myself, "Horace Grant will end up on dh's team."

call me Ash-tro-*******-damus

What does he bring? orb, def, decent efg at tier 4/5 usage, decent drb... yeah, he fits almost any squad, and one with Kareem (and then adding Amare) especially so.

Amare - superior usg+efg with a decent drb. orb doesn't suck, but if you hadn't grabbed Horace I'd say you might have some issues some seasons. Great tov% though, so that helps with the lack of boards. Defense is not great, but we're in round 4 now, so not going to get everything. You've set yourself up for a nice grab in round 5

Man...I love the Grant and Stoudemire picks individually. But together? I just don't know. I think you're going to have some difficult team builds figuring out where all those guys go positionally. At least Stat can back up Kareem, which helps ease the fit a bit.

im playing grant at sf in 4 of the 5 seasons...hes 98% for 2, 99% and 100% for the others...it bugs me but i dont mind as much when they are lower usg players
5/25/2020 10:31 PM
I too was very close to picking Horace or Bobby. Good picks.
5/25/2020 10:32 PM
ill probably back up kareem/amare with more usg...but whoever it is, they will definitely be bringing more then 20% dreb
5/25/2020 10:33 PM
Yeah, I don't like playing guys much where they're less than 100% (I may end up experimenting with it with Durant, depending on how things go) but I worry more about the defensive flexibility issues. Your overall post defense is OK but not great, and your guys will take more of a hit rotating positions than most. But don't get me wrong, it may be worth it to get so much goodness from those guys elsewhere. Good value picks. I thought Stoudemire would go early 3rd.

Was too hopeful Bobby would make it back to me. Bad drafting on my part, I dont think Ewing fit either of the 4 teams behind at all and I could have gotten him on the wrap. Now i have convinced myself into one player and i am trying to talk myself out of it.

one thing i kinda like about amare is that hes 91/93/94/98/99 at sf so i wont take a huge hit on his defense when i put him on sfs...ill probably have kareem cover pf in his 86+ d seasons too

but yea...its pretty ugly defensively and on the boards compared to some of these other teams

sorry I literally just took a nap - pick in a few

Maybe I am a little biased because I try to build my teams around efficiency, but it sure seems like a lot of owners current approach to drafting is that we don't have to worry about threes, fouls or turnovers anymore.

I think I have plenty of fouls and turnovers? wait, what's the question?
