Feeling pretty good about this team. But then again I ALWAYS feel good about my teams then ya'll kick my butt half the time Only thing I don't like about this team is that it turns over the ball more than I like. FT% could be better as well. Who I get to cover that 7 minutes without Rodman will matter too as my rebounding will greatly suffer for those 7 minutes. Also the offense is front court heavy where a lot of good defenders are so that could hurt.

I have 8.5 million to fill out 2765-3150 minutes left on my roster which is great as far as having options goes but is also really concerning because that seems like a lot of money compared to how many minutes I have left.

In my opinion (so probably wrong) this team is surprisingly mediocre at orebounding and assists despite picking Rodman and Stockton. I also wonder if mourning and parish are the players you want taking all the shots. Isn’t there a better parish season?

There wasn't a better Parish season for what I wanted (usage and Defense). And I am not sure who else would be better taking the shots than Mourning and Parish. They both have pretty high eFG% at that usage. I think the rebounding and assists COULD have been more dominant BUT I took those guys early so I could focus on D and eFG% which I think I did pretty good at. I think once you hit certain thresholds, rebounding and assist numbers become less and less dominant. For example you are gonna see a bigger bump between 120 TRB% AND 140 TRB% on the floor at a time than 140% and 160%. At least that's been my experience.

You might be right. I guess with my highest usage players I like when they’re offense comes from different parts of the floor (what’s stopping everyone from going for a -3 on defense?)and at least one of them being at 56efg+ but again I probably don’t know what I’m talking about.

So I agree, ideally I would like my higher usage% coming from the paint and the Perimeter or just from the perimeter. HOWEVER, at that point in the draft there were not any guards who had high enough usage with comparable eFG% and I would rather have the higher eFG% come from another big man then grab a less efficient guard just to be balanced. Especially when there were good 3 and D players, like Covington, available later that can shoot enough threes without the high usage to keep teams honest.

Name	Pos	Usage%	eFG%	OReb%	DReb%	Ast%	Stl%	Blk%
Kevin Durant	SF	30.4	58.6	1.5	18	17.7	0.9	2.7
Bill Russell	C	14	43.8	12.2	31.6	12.8	1.3	3.8
Tyrese Haliburton	PG	19	56.2	2.3	9.5	27.8	2.1	1
Jerry Lucas	PF	19.2	51.3	10.3	22.9	10.3	1.1	1.2
Clyde Drexler	SG	25.7	52.1	6	12.8	16.4	2.2	1
Mark Price	PG	24.6	53.6	1.8	8.7	31.4	1.9	0.3
Tom Boerwinkle	C	16.7	50.1	12.7	32.1	19.1	1.8	3.8

This is where I ended up. There is a lot I like here, which is to say there is a lot that is likely wrong. I am trying a fun experiment with playing a player for about 16 minutes per game where they are only 95% at SF. We will see if 28ish minutes of Durant per game is enough to keep this going.

I may change this squad, but this is what I am thinking about now.

I don't know if you are concerned about Russell's eFG% cause I see you are using 64-65 Russell but something to keep in mind is that the sim uses the 2pt%# and 3pt#% over the eFG% stat and those numbers and the eFG% on those 60s players don't match up. Bc of this I like 59-60 Russell bc his 2pt%# is 48.3 compared to 64-65's 44.7. HOWEVER 59-60 doesn't pass or rebound as well and shoots a little more.

Yeah imo there are better options for both Lucas and Russell then what you currently have. Also I feel like Durant should be playing as much sg as possible.

Feels like all round 6 I’ve been going through a mine field with every pick that comes in.

I feel that. That’s why i traded up. Didn’t want to deal with it.

I had 4 guys on my list to complete the squad, Clifford Ray and Tarpley got taken, but I can live with it.

I am not sure how I’ll go with completing me PF/C spots. My Defense isn’t going to blow anyone away, but it’s consistent.

That Oakley season is so tempting but his turnovers and fouls are off the charts. I’m excited to see how your team does but kinda sad to see one of the best PGs moved to a backup with a lesser season on your team.

So I needed 30 minutes to fill the spots to combo at PG/SG my ideal guy was Steve Nash, but he went before it was my turn.

I think you need more threes.

ysw - What's I like: I love the Wilt/George inside-outside combo. Great team efg%. Perimeter D is so important and PG/Bledsoe is a great start. Probably the top rebounding team in the league. Concerns/Needs: FT Shooting is gonna be in the 60%s. Tov% will be a little high but that's to be expected with Wilt. Still need some usg% from the remaing 5 roster slots. Plenty of those still available.

steelers - What I like: The flawless 2012-13 Lebron season. Towels? What towels? Very clean team. Solid, but not great, D. Good overall team efg. Concerns/Needs: That 38D from Dirk is a big hole for me. I feel like if you are gonna run a guy out there with defense that poor, he better be exceptional in at least a couple other areas (see Jokic, Nash, JoVal). Dirk can't really claim that, and although his tov% is super low, his rebounding at the PF position (cReb 21) is atrocious for this league. A big concern for me is that you are going to have to use a few guys out of position (Marion at the 2, either Dirk, Chriss, or Horford at the 3). Using one guy out of position for 5-10 minutes a game is ok. Using multiple guys for extended minutes is risky.

beachhouse - What I like: Curry AND Lillard? I've always wondered what a Dame/Curry combo would produce in the SIM. Never had the guts to try it though. Hats off to you. Should be fun! Let the 3-point parade begin. This team will live or die by the trey. If Dame has to consistently point at his wrist to remind you what time it is, it'll be a long night for your opponent. Concerns/Needs: Your perimeter D is 68, 50, 48. Any team with a high usg%, high efg% guard (almost every team in the league) is gonna feast. Rebounding is an issue. But you've got at least 3500 mins and $10M to address that. You've got way too much usage at this point. Guys like Nurkic/Oak/D Will are gonna take shots away from your Big 2. Your lowest usg lineup right now with Curry/Dame in the game is 121.9 and the highest is 129.1. Usg% is expensive and I feel like you're throwing money away.

gerryred - What I like: I like seeing Joker drafted this early. He puts you ahead of the game in so many categories and opens up lots of options going forward. Although his cReb bothers me, D Harper was a steal in the 6th round. Tons of assists. 6000+ minutes of 90/80D on the perimeter. Concerns/Needs: Tov% is gonna be high thanks to Draymond (21.2 tov%). Not a strong offensive rebounding team (unless you are using Tarpley 87-88, which you very well could be). Probably need a few more 3s but you have around 1700 minutes to fill in the backcourt, with plenty of good options available.

riftonapple - What I like: Great post defense! Very efficient 3pt shooting (north of 40%). Overall solid squad. Concerns/Needs: No glaring weaknesses I can see but definitely need a playmaker, someone with a high ast% to distribute the ball. Danny G and Powell are deadeye riflemen but they're allergic to board work. You'll probably need to add some high cReb guys to make this team more competitive on the boards.
