1) LeBron James - chewy is elite and I am interested to see which five seasons he uses. Looking at his roster it appears that LeBron will play point guard. I'm also interested in seeing how chewy builds around LeBron. Most people, given the first pick, will take LeBron, even though LeBron teams average only 42 wins and have won only 2 titles. Maybe chewy can improve on this.
2) Andre Drummond - rebounds, rebounds and more rebounds. I wonder if LeBron teams don't do well because of a rebound deficiency. I would have probably taken Bam Adebayo here because he shoots better, passes better and plays better defense. Jimmy Butler would have been fun here to team with LeBron in the backcourt, but Drummond is most likely the best pick. I just don't like him because he can't shoot free throws and because he punched Kyle Korver in the face back in 2015. This makes me wonder how often I draft a player because I like him, not because he is the best player or the best fit. Oh God, I'm starting to sound like Midge. Andre Drummond teams average 40 wins and have 0 titles.
3) Alonzo Mourning - I like this pick. Some excellent defense and an inside scoring punch. Without looking at all of the seasons Mourning seems to be a good fit next to ******* Drummond. Mourning teams have averaged 38 wins, but he has won 3 titles. I would assume that his 55% shooting season was responsible for the three titles. Maybe chewy is trying to have five teams go 41-41.
4) Robert Parish - Another good big. I would think that Robert Parish would start on some teams instead of Mourning. It looks like a pretty solid three big rotation. Parish teams average 41 wins and he has 3 titles. I stand by my theory that chewy is going for five 41-41 teams.
5) Brandon Clarke - A really good "other". He only has three or four seasons and he doesn't play much, but when he does play he plays very well. He averages 43 wins and has won 4 titles, which is pretty good. After looking at the hall of fame numbers, most players hover around the 41 win mark. Now that I know that am I going to keep talking about it? Probably.
6) John Henson - A PF who will play SF for chewy. He is usually 100% at SF, he usually plays good defense. So far it looks like he will have good rebounding, but I'm beginning to wonder about his assist levels. Henson teams average 39 wins and have won one title.
7) Tobias Harris - Some shooting and rebounding at SG. The usage% doesn't line up well with Clarke, but I'm sure chewy will figure it out. Harris teams average 43 wins and he has won two titles. I would not be surprised to see him add another title this season.
8) Kermit Washington - I'm starting to see a pattern here. Chewy likes drafting big, strong men who hit other men in the face. Rudy never looked the same after the doctors rebuilt his face. Kermit is just more John Henson, which isn't a bad thing. Crap, Sukow nailed it. Kermit's team have averaged 43 wins and he has 7 titles. Nice work, One Punch Man.
9) De'Anthony Melton - nice backup guard, I would think he would play well with Ja Morant or LaMelo Ball. Good defense, some threes, some assists, as far as I know he hasn't punched anyone in the face. The season I like to use hit 100 3-pointers. kinoa would take that season and Melton would make 225 3-pointers. Let's see how chewy does with it. Melton tens average 43 wins an he has 2 titles.
10) Marvin Williams - One thing I learned this draft was that I can't take Marvin Williams in the 11th round when chewy already took him in the 10th round. He has only one season that I would want to use, but that one season has 152 3 pointers at 40% and a turnover percentage of 7.1. Terry Tyler keeps walking around my team's locker room asking where Marvin Williams is. His teams average 43 wins and he has won four titles. Excellent!
11) Ja Morant - Here we go again. Ja Morant punched a guy in the face! It was a 17 year old kid, does that count? (Judge says yes!) What we have here is a failure to communicate a backup point guard for LeBron with lots of usage. I sincerely hope that Morant can stay healthy in the future and make some better life decisions and get his career back on track. He is so fun to watch play basketball. Ja Morant teams average 35 wins and he has won one title.
12) LaMelo Ball - Another high usage backup point guard for LeBron. I assume chewy will take the best five seasons from his last two picks and the other five seasons will be getting coffee, carrying luggage, etc. He has a 44 win average and one title.
Batman - LeBron James. Period.
Robin - I would go with Alonzo Mourning here, great defense and some scoring punch.
Alfred - Andre Drummond gets the nod here, doing all the dirty work like getting rebounds and punching people in the face.
What I like - He has LeBron James and a whole lot of rebounding. That is a good thing.
What I am concerned about - Is there enough assist%? I know the current trend is barely enough assist% to get by and super low turnover%, but if you're at 45% on assists, you're just giving back the 2% bump you got from playing up tempo. Also, are there enough threats from deep to keep people away from a -2 defense?
Random Midge thought - I would like to see a team with Andre Drummond, Kermit Washington, Rudy Tomjanovich and Kyle Korver.
