pharrop - Dwight Howard, Kyrie Irving, Shawn Marion, Steven Adams, Derrick Favors, Patrick Beverley, Delon Wright

The Good: Great rebounding, shooting and defense. Howard's a stud. Nice balance of 3's and paint. Great value at end of draft.
Concerns: A little light on the assists. A lot of filler minutes with scrubs which may cause usage issues when they don't play.
Bottom Line: Very scary team. Made for playoffs. Excellent job.

tau1624 - Steph Curry, Marcus Camby, Kyle Lowry, Arvydas Sabonis, Kyle Korver, Reggie Evans, Elmore Smith

The Good: Insane 3's! Love Steph. Overall FG% is very strong. Good assists.
Concerns: Despite having some great rebounders individually, overall rebounding is just good ... not great. Defense is pretty weak.
Bottom Line: Steph keeps them in every game. But despite being a difficult team to defend I'm afraid this one will miss the playoffs.

24kpyrite - Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer, Larry Nance, Andrew Bogut, Michael Redd, Carmelo Anthony

The Good: Great passing team with Paul and Deron. Nice rebounding and plenty of usage. Nice bottom 5 additions.
Concerns: While I like the combination of big assist's guys, I think Deron was a reach, especially with Magic still on board. Overall D just ok. Light on 3's.
Bottom Line: A lot to like here but looks like a better regular season team than playoff team. I see them squeaking in the playoffs but probably a quick exit.

beloud - David Robinson, Steve Nash, Jrue Holiday, Bo Outlaw, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, Ivica Zubac

The Good: Great inside out combo of D Rob and Nash. Great passing. D is pretty good despite weak individuals like Nash. Good shooting and usage.
Concerns: I can't believe I'm saying this, but minutes. Really low and needs 2 scrubs just to barely eclipse 19K. Rebounding could be better.
Bottom Line: The only thing keeping this team from the playoffs is fatigue. How well will he manage minutes? Otherwise solid team.

Midge- Kevin Garnett, Bam Adebayo, Montrezl Harrell, Terry Porter, Enes Kanter, Jameer Nelson, Jon Barry

The Good: Great shooting and passing. Solid efficiency from all 7 picks. Good interior defense 3 frontline picks.
Concerns: Adebayo is nice but may have been a reach. Poor perimeter defense. Good but not great rebounding.
Bottom Line: Hard to tell. Can elite efg% overcome poor defense? This team is on the fence.

Jcred5 - Hassan Whiteside, Kawhi Leonard, Hakeem Olajuwon, John Collins, Rajon Rondo, Kenneth Faried, JR Smith

The Good: What's not to like? Solid team all around. Great rebounding, passing, good D with a couple of 100 D guys, solid usage. Few if any weaknesses.
Concerns: Not many. 3's are good but not great. Rondo and Hakeem bring down efg% a little more than I would like. But I'm grasping at straws.
Bottom Line: This is the team I dread the most. Deep playoff run. Excellent job.

I didn't expect to see the Mailman there at 14; but that's the same pick he went last year. Didn't realize his stock had fallen quite so far.

Long as you do more than 4 evals by the time the league is over, you're doing better than Pex in teh Savage!!

This is my first time playing ODL. Is there a minimum total team minutes that each team must have?

the less the better in fact, aim low /(sarcasm)

Really happy with a Kidd/Malone pairing. Great start on both ends; doing really well on efg%, assists, defense, turnovers, and fouls. Solid threes from Kidd, too. Will have to work to get some boards, especially offensive boards, but low-usage board lord who don't have to have great D are plentiful. My biggest concerns at this point are Malone's price tag and how to find a backup for him that makes sense.

Mailman + Kidd would have been a top 10 & top 24 pick back when I quit playing this league so much. It's nuts to see them paired up.

Ash with MJ at 11 and Gerryred with Magic at the bottom of the 2nd are my two steals of the draft so far.

Dang, I didn't even realize Magic was still around. I would have still taken Kidd over him because I think he's a better fit with Mailman, but that is way too far for Magic to drop.

Kidd was great value and a perfect compliment to the Mailman. Excellent pick as well.

My deep analysis.... my team is not yet awesome.

so say we all.. and yet we dream
