So happy to pair Gilmore with Stockton. They are both lower usage guys, but high enough that I'm not concerned about the penalty.

Stockton 18.9 USG%/ 60.7 eFG%
Gilmore 18.5 USG%/ 67.0 eFG%

I'll mess it up for sure, but pretty proud of myself so far.

I'm happy with my two also. ;-)

I really thought that I would be able to get Oscar Robertson to pair with David Robinson. Bill Russell helps in many areas but that low EFG% may be hard to overcome.

Some early thoughts...

Lots of nice tandems to start out this season, including Bird-Walton and Paul-Marshall.

There's a ton to like about Howard and a lot to like about Kemp, but I'm not sure I like them together.  That's a lot of usage in the paint and a lot of fouls, to begin with.  98 is a crafty dog, but it'll be interesting to see who he comes up with to make this squad work.  I can think of a few guys I hope don't fall to him.

I don't love Ewing in this sim because I like my bigs to be better rebounders, but pairing him with Rodman makes for a strong start.

Big Ben seems like a reach in the first round at this point, especially with franchise cornerstones like Durant and Duncan available.  I consider DeAndre to have supplanted Ben as the defensive board lord big guy to gamble on in the first if you're willing to wait on offense. 

Stockton and Gilmore are a very nice pairing, although with that duo you're paying for a lot of efficiency at fairly low usage. 

banditone starts out strong again.  Pay close attention to the advanced stats from here on out, hoss!

I like my duo the best. Obviously. 8 usg point Mailman at 56%efg and 4 usg point Matrix at SF at 55%efg. Better start than last season with Mailman.

You have nice start with Duncan-Magic. With Magic falling to Round 2, looks like you traded up with having done so.

Seems like Penny has pushed Magic out of the first round, which to me is a matter of team-building taste.  Basically a little more defense in exchange for a lesser start on assists.

Steph and CP3 too

Come on LTB in real life you would absolutely love the David Robinson and Bill Russell combo.

Absolutely!  And I think they're a nice pairing in the sim.  Even though Russell gets nerfed by the sim...  So long as the other members of the starting 5 all touch the ball more than he does on offense, you're probably in good shape.

ahem...

ahem?
