albiband - What I like: The Diesel gonna diesel. I lke the Webber pick in the 6th. He does so much well and, along with Shaq, covers Vucevic's deficient defense. Looks like you'll have excess minutes at PF/C so you'll probably use Webber at SF for around 5-10 minutes a game? That'll be a strong rebounding lineup. Boatload of assists should boost your efg, which is already strong. Iguodala is a great fit (I assume you are using one of his GSW seasons). Nash, Vucevic, & AI will keep the foul total low. Faried will work the offensive glass like the Manimal he is. Concerns/Needs: Turnovers. A cool contest to keep track of would be to see how many times Nash, Simmons, Webber throw the ball into the stands. 1 point awarded for each row they clear. Might need some more 3 pointers depending on which Vucevic season you use, but that can be easily covered. Nash's D is always a concern but pairing him with Simmons and AI helps.
berkelon - What I like: Great rebounding team that will battle ysw for the top spot in that category on the Team Rankings page. Oscar in the 4th is never a bad pick. You addressed your lack of 3s in Round 6. This team is difficult to evauluate because other than Oscar (who's best season I think is obvious), everybody has multiple seasons to choose from. Concerns/Needs: The defense can be anywhere from mediocre to really, really good depending on which seasons you choose for the non-Oscars. I'm reaching trying to find another weakness/need but...too much usage? Everyone's efg% is in the same range (other than Giannis) at around 53%-56%, so maybe too much usage doesn't really hurt.
seapilots - What I like: Strong efg% overall and especially from your top 2 usg% guys. Kareem & Kyrie. Good amount of usage that will give you plenty of options in addressing needs with your last 6 roster slots. Concerns/Needs: The defense is solid but not great even if you choose to use Kemp's 100D season. But then again, maybe you go with one of Kareem's 100D seasons? I feel like defensive rebounding could be an issue. Ayton will help with that. Hard to believe but Muggsy Bogues actually had 4 seasons with a better dREb% than Penny's 95-96. C'mon man, you're 6 foot 8! Seapilots has a successful track record and I'm sure he'll have this team heading to the playoffs.
jhsukow - What I like: The Wood-Love 2-headed monster at SF is a beast on the defensive glass. And they will rain 3s down on your head both frequently and efficiently. 381 made threes at a nearly 40% clip from the SF position? Yes, please. They allow you to use the 88-89 MJ that's averse to shooting from downtown. The Wood-Love high dReb will also allow you to use the 100D Chandler season that's just so-so on the defensive boards. Concerns/Needs: Wood-Love, Sabonis, and McCollum won't be cofused for defensive stoppers anytime soon. Ho Grant to the rescue to help hide those defensive deficiencies. A backcourt player or two with a 20+ ast% is/are probably needed, depending on which McCollum season you use. Overall seems like a well thought out and executed plan by jhsukow.
stonedwheat - What I like: The first 3 picks (Admiral, JKidd, Camby). Great defensive start and good amount of boards. I can roll with Amare in the 4th. And Beal was instrumental in my championship run last season. You've got 3 high usg%, high minute guys at this point. Needs/Concerns: You lost me in round 6. I don't see the need for DBook and Pierce. Those 2 are gonna force you to play Beal/Pierce at SF which is really going to hurt you on the boards. I would've drafted one or two of the plethora of low usg guys that can play D and/or hit the offensive glass. You've got 5 roster spots left with very little money to spend.
