It's just so fun to say Mozgov

Bogut has injury concerns but him staying on the bench and playing less minuets should help with that. He's still great on the glass and a beast as a defender. Not much offensive output but Kanter is next to him.

Bogut was my top center remaining. Nice grab

Definitely a good pick in Bogut.

This is exactly what I mean lol

 

You're on the clock.

Am I up?

 

I was going through the pages to find the last post by the CalvinSmoke to notify him that he's up and I noticed this post. You were actually skipped and you are able to make up the selection at any time. You'll also be up in a few picks as well.

I considered Bogut, but then I saw how little he's played recently and I was like, nah.

That's why I went with Dieng to be my backup big. Bogut is a great defensive center, but he is awful on offense.

I have Kanter next to him who's a polar opposite in that regard. So that's fine.

If you could merge them into one player it would be fine.

Ron Artest has teamed up with fellow crazy Dennis Rodman to try and create this machine as we speak. 

 

I took Bogut cause he was the BPA on my board. I know what I'm getting into because of a lack offensive game but I value his defense and rebounding highly.  And for his position he's not a terrible passer. 

 

Kanter is great on offense and is a horrid defender, but like Bogut he's great on the boards. So I think that's be okay coming off of the bench.

 

Was thinking something similar for Noah and Millsap in my starting lineup.

Is CalvinSmoke on the clock still?

Yes- I PM'd him, he has 4 1/2 hours left on the clock.

OK my pick is in. Needed a solid rim protector for my big line up. Glad I was able to snag em

If I knew would have never PMd you. Had a gif and all that ready...

 

Good pick.

Good pick in Smith.

[MoveThoseChains]

Good pick in Smith.

Thanks, I feel like he's good value at this point. He found a nice spot for himself in Houston, and really stepped up in some big games (game 6 against clippers comes to mind). Not sure if he will sign with Houston or go elsewhere though

Like I do every once in a while, someone want to tell me how my team is turning out?

He is in my eyes. Can we put a clause in his contract that he's only allowed to operate within the arc aside from an occasional corner 3? He could get deducted for every 3 he takes above the break lol

Great pick in Chandler. Surprised he lasted this long.

[allblackraven]

Thanks. I wanted to go younger but at this point I am really happy to have him on my team.

[BmoreBird22]

Not exactly a spring chicken and he's starting to show signs of lost athleticism in his lateral movements. Not really a volume scorer, either. Turns the ball over more times per game than he gets assists. Struggled a bit with spot up shooters. Nasty on ball defender, sets great screens, strong offensive rebounds. I would have taken him over Bogut.

Otto stepped up huge for the Wizards in the playoffs. Had him last year as well, like his potential. I think he fits my team well.... If only I knew I was on the clock though, Smart would've been mine. Probably only the 2nd time I've ever been skipped in these games.

PG: Russell Westbrook/Rajon Rondo

SG: Isaiah Thomas

SF: Giannis Antetokounmpo/Otto Porter

PF: Kevin Love/ Tristan Thompson

C: Brook Lopez

I've got athleticism, rebounding, and a whole lot of scoring. I think my team defense would be above average. Not the best but as a whole, I like it. Otto & Thompson are nice players to come off the bench. Thompson would rotate between the 4 & 5 for me in certain lineups. Giannis is still only 20 years old, btw. Learning from Westbrook and Love would be perfect for him. Happy with how my team has turned out thus far.

Pretty poor defensive unit imo, but you have guys that can score. My concern would be lack of shooting. Love is really the only spot 3P shooter, lots of ISO players.

my first time playing this game I had three jobs so I got skipped constantly, and I don't think we reduced time back then lol.
