Scary looking team. A little confused how love, Middleton and Lavine all fit together but I’m sure it will work out.

Lavine+Khris = SG (but both can behind Stockton on D) - Love is 100% SF eligible but can hide at 4 positions and handcuffs SF/PF back up minutes depending on where I want the Worm defending - Zo and Kemp stack so one or the other is always on the court - still need about 12 mpg at both PG and power positions

PG - F Lever
SG - P George
SF - D Gafford
PF - C Barkley
C - R Williams

Bench:
D Favors
J Butler

Cumulative averages: 115 usg, 55.6 efg, 78.1 ft, 60.9 ts, 394 3pm, 136.2 cReb (45.4 oReb, 90.8 dReb), 69.2 ast, 11.8 tov, 79.3 def

Salary used: $43,335,460
Available cash: $8,664,540
Minutes needed: approx. 4000

Man that 21-22 season is strong. Looks like he can play all 5 spots.

Lever is just an advantage in the possession game. I guess it’s worth it to sacrifice on efg.

Yep, that along with his 38 mpg of 80 D on the perimeter more than makes up for the low efg, in my opinion. The season I won the championship with Lever and Harden in the backcourt, he had a stretch of 6 playoff games (something like 225 minutes) with a total of only 3 turnovers.

as long as you arent looking for any D to speak of yes, but definitely an offensive presence

I think this should be a solid team. Strong defense. Assuming I get who I want to finish my roster I should have about a 55.73 efg, 37.5 oreb, 93.23 dreb , 69.65 ast for weighted team averages. Turnovers should be really low with Payton and Davis leading my usage. Ray helps my rebounding and assists a lot but he will hurt with fouls and tovs

Has Drexler ever fallen this low?

I don't remember his going this late.

He went from #127 last season to #139 this season. It seems to me he goes higher in the ODL.

Doubled down on the offensive efficiency. Gave up some D for some better O, I figure if I can't rebound the missed shots why even bother? Rebounds are still a problem but I aint gonna be able to fix that. My Millsap and Looney picks are not what I had in mind but with who I have planned coming off the bench these core 7 are the better option of my previously posted 7. I don't have ALOT of threes but with who I plan on coming off the bench at the Guard spot will help make my 3s more competitive. I am not a fan of how often Millsap and Looney foul either... but oh well!!!

nice low TOVs
