Last four guys were "blind picked". He just happened to come up last

Hahaha. I don't know if its true but someone just said that Davis might be resting during all star and could miss the game. First pick would be in the toilet then.

If they keeping the East/West competition, they should just go with Paul/Wade, and have them do the draft.

Ross, White and Green are all renown dunkers.

Or did you mean no-names as in "to casual fan"?

Yea casual fans/NBA star names. No Blake Griffin, high profile youngsters or anything.

I would much rather have the specialist dunkers than just the superstars. It gets too gimmicky with the stars. Green and White will put on a real show.

Bolt in the celebrity game should be fun to watch too.

I like the mix of rooks and sophs but they just need to draft better. Why would Chuck pass on Kyrie for this game?

Shved will score 40. No one else to score.

Obviously, Shaq's team is stronger on paper, but Believe it or not, I like Chucks's team. Faried is going to be a big time rebounder and finisher at the rim, Rubio is going to be finding people all over the court like Davis for Alleys, Beal and Leonard can hit the outside shots. Should be a fun game

Beezer · Post #56 » by **Beezer** » Fri Feb 8, 2013 3:41 pm

It'll be nice to see what Rubio can do with athletic bigs in Davis and Faried, and outside shooters in Leonard and Beal. It's the perfect team for Rubio!

I agree. people are just looking at the names on each roster. I think Chuck's team has a good shot at winning.

While Shaq's team will dominate at the guard position, Chuck's has more athleticism/beef up front.

I was so happy when Chuck picked Rubio after taking Unibrow and Manimal. I can't wait to see Ricky throw lobs to those guys.

I want to see a lineup of

Rubio
Shved
Leonard
Faried
Davis

That's legit.

Rubio, if he gets the minutes, should wind up with 15 assists.

I would imagine he's going to be the starter at the point

Bringing this back up for the weekend activities, most notably tomorrow night.

*looks at rosters*

Chuck's team is head and shoulders better than Shaq's team, even in the all-dunk no-defense setting of that game.

I fully expect them to win.
