I agree that scoring is cheap, but scoring with moderate (meaning, in this case, higher) usage/fga's AND threes is a bit harder to find. And make sure he doesn't foul a lot.

hey what do you think about my last pick scud? better three shooter still available with a usage sub 20%?

why do you feel the need to keep the usage under 20 with that pick?

my potential next pick. It is hit or miss and I have been gone from the sim for so long; much has changed aha. When I last played it was all about the low turnover/high field goal teams for me. It tended to be successful in the day

ahh ok.......i think thunder dan would have still been there with your 4th pick tho...but you never know

what do you guys think about my team so far?

I'm liking the Oscar/Manu pairing.

what's that got to do with anything?

Nothing whatsoever to do with your team.

I like the Kareem/Chauncey pairing a lot and am curious to see how you round out the starting lineup.

well, chester, when u nab, arguably the 2nd greatest center of all time, at no. 21 (but possibly the worst actor of all time), i'd say, the sim gods favor you. kareem has so many seasons to choose from (he also has a 30% dreb season...yeah, baby!). the dude can dish, block, shoots high %'s and goes to the line a bunch. what's not to love? the problem with a lot of owners though is that once they get kareem (like wilt) they don't give him adequate board help. you won't let that happen. red robbins brings solid def, solid boards, good ft% and the right amount of usage to elevate kareem's game. billups will keep them both busy and will force your opponents to actually guard three guys. though i don't like billups (can't put my finger on why i don't) he shoots lights out 3's. and, i've never seen his paltry 41% fg, or his 44% fg seasons be anything other than 48-50%. he's one of these sim players that always does well and over-performs (but i still never draft him... lol). so far, i'd give you an A- (not an A due to kareem's poor acting in the bruce lee films).
