Team thoughts:
jackedjaime - Wilt Chamberlain, Deron Williams, Horace Grant, Danny Green, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Mullin, Jamychal Green
Final Synopsis - One of he best ways to build around Dirk is with Ho and Wilt. Add Deron to the mix and you have a pricey team. I think where this team suffers will be it's bench. It will take a lot of money management to get this team to be successful in the ODL.
Suggested Team Name - Dirk's Happy Place
sappy - LeBron James, Klay Thompson, Dikembe Mutombo, Robert Parish ,Kevin Johnson, Eric Moreland, Dwayne Dedmon
Final Synopsis - LeBron should not be a SF, but he can be. You have the defensive capabilities down, but the boards can be a problem. Plenty of 3s on this team at an efficient rate and you won't have to worry about Klays lack of assist with your 1 and 3. This team just has me wanting more.
SuggestedTeam Name - Did Lebron build this team?
tarheel1991 - Steph Curry, Joakim Noah, Carlos Boozer, Jonas Valanciunas, Kyle O'Quinn, TR Dunn, Connie Hawkins
Final Synopsis - Curry is a fun player to draft around. You literally get to cross off one stat off your need list as soon as you draft him. Unfortunately, I do not think you filled the holes around him. The next 4 picks were associated the the front court and the last two left the back court desiring more. I think this team will struggle to be competitive.
Suggested Team Name - Curry wishes this was the 12-13 Warriors
6theluckyone - Shaquille O’Neal, Chauncey Billups, Manu Ginobili, Clifford Ray, Robert Covington, Wes Unseld, JJ Reddick
Final Synopsis - This team had one of my favorite starts through the first 4 rounds, but I feel it went downhill from there. Covington doesn't board enough to play the 3 on a Shaq team and Unseld is unable to back up Shaq for usage purposes. This team will win enough games to compete for a 5-6 seed, man I wish I could have seen other picks in the 5th and 6th round.
Suggested Team Name - Never fall asleep during a draft
copernicus - Michael Jordan, Bob McAdoo, Bill Russell, Charlie Ward, Terrence Jones, Peja Stojakovic, Jason Williams
Final Synopsis - This team kind of reminds me of someone's first time at a gentleman's club. You blow majority of your budget at the beginning, then you are left looking for bargains at the end and sometimes you hit and sometimes you don't, but you loved it. Sometimes even where you spent your money, wasn't the smartest, but you probably had a good time. I am not a fan of this Jordan team. You could also substitute the gentleman's club analogy with Vegas.
Suggested Team Name - Destiny Took My Money
gerryred - Dwight Howard, Shawn Marion, Kyle Lowry, Derek Harper, Kevin Love, Kermit Washington, Kendall Marshall
Final Synopsis - I really like the first 4 picks, but I'm not a fan of the Love fit. After the Kermit pick, makes me wonder if you changed Love to a partial season and not one of the expensive ones. I can get more behind that logic. I think the division draft will be key for this team on their playoff hopes.
Suggested Team Name - Tainted Love
benhoidal - Giannis Antetokounmpo , Kawhi Leonard, Eric Bledsoe, Andrew Bogut, Marvin Williams, Larry Nance, Michael Beasley
Final Synopsis - Another good build by Ben, which helps when you have more time to focus on a draft. The Nance pick is throwing me off, I can't imagine you are using anything but the partial season, but then why draft Beasley? You can't afford to move Marvin to SG to help back up Leonard, the usage doesn't fit. The shooting is all there, you'll have to draft some more boards.
Suggested Team Name - Klaw my Antetokounmpo
pharrop - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Marcus Camby, Donyell Marshall, Kyle Korver, Gary Payton, Malcom Brogdon, Charlie Villanueva
Final Synopsis - I really liked the start of this team. It's hard to dislike a pick like Korver, but I have to wonder if this team has enough scoring. Payton can be an expensive 5th round pick, but you didn't spend a lot on your other picks so you can afford him. Donyell and Korver provide plenty of 3s so you can try to get one of Garys more efficient season and not worry about his 3 point shooting ability. I don't know, I don't like the way this team ended.
Suggested Team Name - Jab With the Glove
dBKC - Rudy Gobert, Nikola Jokic, Ben Simmons, Jrue Holiday, Bobby Jones, Andre Igoudala, Ryan Anderson
Final Synopsis - Your starting 5 is intriguing, but I do have have concerns that when AI comes in your usage might drop off into a penalty. Now if only you could get Andre and Ryan to come in the game at the same, but WIS loves screwing up bench spots. That's really my only fuss with the end result. Edit - I saw your lilineup projections, I think usage is going to be an issue and I don't like Anderson at the 4.
Suggested Team Name - Jrueth or Gobert?
NotoriousJ - Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Brent Barry, Samuel Dalembert, Jon Barry, Mark Landberger, Rick Barry
Final Synopsis - The Barry Trifecta! It is hard to start off with Karl and Charles and worry about usage, but I think that's the case. Rick's best seasons are partial seasons, but you'll have to ensure you get another partial season to pair with him to have enough scoring. I still don't think that is enough with this team, you have a lot of minutes to fill at the guard spots and you started off with an expensive duo.
Suggested Team Name - The Barry Bunch
mikee1 - Dennis Rodman, Anfernee Hardaway, Amare Stoudemire, Victor Oladipo, Mark Price, Reggie Evans, Emeka Okafor
Final Synopsis - I really really like this team. This is a very strong 7 man rotation, but it does appear to be a very expensive one as well. Are you using a top Price season to backup both guard spots? I like that idea, I just worry about a complete team everywhere else. My only concern is that Okafor was too expensive of a choice to fill that last starting spot. I look forward to seeing the final roster.
SuggestedTeam Name - Amare, Oladipo, & Okafor Oh My!
robusk - Chris Paul, Scottie Pippen,Tyson Chandler, Montrezl Harrell, Buck Williams, George Hill, Vince Carter
Final Synopsis - This is a well orchestrated team. I have been looking at your table trying to determine which Pippen you are using. With the drafting of both Hill and Vince, is Pippen spending time at SF? If he spends half his time at SF, I think I like this team less, mainly just due to boards. Good Def, Good Passing, Enough boards, Enough 3s = Playoffs
Suggested Team Name - What Happens When You Get Chris Paul With Pick 19
mptrey - Kevin Durant, Hassan Whiteside, Mike Conley, Chris Webber, Nate McMillan, Marcin Gortat, Royce O'Neale
Final Synopsis - I really like the trio you started with and I got concerned with the Webber pick. You didn't really need the usage and I was worried Webber was drafted to be a 4. With Webber at the 4, I fear you will lose a lot of rebounding battles. Then again, maybe I am wrong, maybe Nate is Conleys backup and Webber is the three, in which case I like better. If this is the case, your scoring will majorly suffer with Nate and Royce on the floor. Not sure why Royce was drafted, he was yours after the draft.
Suggested Team Name - Slip to the Whiteside & Cross The Line
tau1624 - Deandre Jordan, Jason Kidd, Kyrie Irving, Hakeem Olajuwon, Pascal Siakam, Arvydas Sabonis, Kenneth Faried
Final Synopsis - Another team I really like. Kidd and the Dream fell right into your lap. You get really efficient three point shooting from Kidd and Kyrie and Sabonis is a great backup to that partial Hakeem season. I am glad I'm not able to be drafted into your division.
Suggested Team Name - Tau's Dream Our Nightmare
24kpyrite - Moses Malone, Andre Drummond, Ray Allen, Al Horford, Maurice Cheeks, Rodrigue Beaubois, Chris Gatling
Final Synopsis - Drummond and Moses give a lot of boards and post scoring, Ray/Horford/Beaubois should provide enough 3s to keep defenses honest. Not thrilled about Mo, really wanted Nate. Might call a last minute audible at the PG position and bring in someone else.
Suggested Team Name - Jesus From Three
redbooda - Paul George, Bradley Beal, Elvin Hayes, Joel Embiid, Joe Harris, Rod Strickland, John Wall
Final Synopsis - A lot of drafting blunders here. Lots of scorers that don't blend well together. This is a lottery team.
Suggested Team Name - Rated PG- Unwatchable
bds9992 - Anthony Davis, Steve Nash, Artis Gilmore, Serge Ibaka, Mookie Blalock, Blake Griffin, Michael Ruffin
Final Synopsis - I like the 17-18 AD season, it is a fun season to build around. I would have taken Kidd over Nash, but Nash is a great PG to own. I think there would have been better options to pair down low with AD other than Gilmore. He's expensive for the 3rd round and doesn't give you defensive flexibility with AD if you go for the rebounding seasons. Ibaka fits nice with what you have, you needed some more ORebs. Mookie might kill this team though. He provides defense and assists, but he will severely hurt your FG%. You drafted an expensive team when you added Mookie and I think he killed it as well.I
Suggested Team Name - Mookie Shaved The Brow
dh555 - David Robinson, Kevin McHale, Terry Porter, Clyde Drexler, Michael Smith, Chris Andersen, Patrick Ewing
Final Synopsis - DH has done a top notch job with this build. I like all of the picks, and I really like the backup choices. McHale can be tricky to build around, but you have loaded the 3 and 5 with solid minutes. DH has to be among one of the favorites going into this season.
Suggested Team Name - Better Late Than Never
jcred5 - Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Shawn Kemp Tom Boerwinkle, J.R. Smith, Pau Gasol, Tyreke Evans
Final Synopsis - I like the start and the end, jut not the middle. I am not a fan of pairing Kemp and Boerwinkle. You will have plenty of passing going around, especially with Tyreke on the floor. 3s are good and Bird should be able to rotate with the your SG for defensive purposes. Depending on the division you are in, this should be a playoff team.
Suggested Team Name - Can't Do Magic Without A Bird
ysw128 - Dwayne Wade, Ben Wallace, Elton Brand, Tree Rollins, David West, Jerry West, Amir Johnson
Final Synopsis - Winner of the best defensive squad, but unfortunately I do not see enough 3s to compete. I'm sure this was a fun squad to build though and I am interested in seeing how many wins you get.
Suggested Team Name - Bruised Battered & Beaten
cjok1051 - James Harden, John Stockton, Nikola Vucevic, Derrick Favors, Nikola Mirotic, Rudy Gay, Jamario Moon
Final Synopsis - My hopes of somone building around 18-19 Harden are crushed, but cjok has built a very interesting and extremely efficient team. I might not have agreed with some choices you made, but you put this team together nicely. I look forward to the crazy box scores that will come out of this team. I tend to usually like cjoks teams, a lot of them have been very creative.
Suggested Team Name - John Strokes The Beard
jhsukow - Karl-Anthony Towns, Draymond Green, Alonzo Mourning, Gerald Wallace, Michael Cooper, Jamaal Tinsley, Marques Johnson
Final Synopsis - I like how the last three picks came together. Marques is an expensive backup, but I imagine he is backing up both Gerald and Draymond. You didn't skimp out on expenses with your top 7 picks, so I imagine you will have to play it tight with your front court backups.
Suggested Team Name - Green Kat Zo! (This is pathetic-I'm a parent I apologize)
isacqbs58 - Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Raja Bell, Sasha Vujacic, Reggie Bullock, Wayne Embry
Final Synopsis - Garnett is a SF and this team is bound for the lottery.
Suggested Team NameName - Seth is the real Bullock
midge - Bill Walton, Clint Capela, Julius Erving, Otto Porter, Domantas Sabonis, Jose Calderon, Jameer Nelson
Final Synopsis - I like the thought process behind this team. Erving can cover three positions, Porter can slide to the 3 and your PGs can slide to the 2. My concerns are your top 2 scorers are your least efficient shooters and there may not be enough scoring on this team.
Suggested Team Name - A Trippy Ride with Bill and a Doctor
