Donut Draft R2 - GeorgeMarcus vs Laimbeer*

[durantbird]

Here is a quick list of what you need in your writeup.

1. Specific years for each player on your team
2. Rotations and minutes for each player
3. Reasoning as to why your team will win and/or why people should vote for you.

Do not vote in this thread until both managers have submitted their writeups. Please ensure you give a rationale for your vote; votes with no explanation will not be counted.

If writeups aren't posted within 24 hours, we will vote solely based on the players they have drafted (and any rotations they have posted on their roster page).

We'll be using a AI vote when a matchup seems stuck, at least 24 hours since its opening. AI vote counts for a single vote.

**First to 3 votes advances**

David Robinson (38) / Andrei Kirilenko (10)
Draymond Green (38) / Andrei Kirilenko (10)
Royce O'Neale (36) / Luc Mbah a Moute (8) / Reggie Miller (4)
Stephen Curry (28) / Reggie Miller (20)
Luka Dončić (38) / Stephen Curry (10)

Good luck, GM.

Offensively we're a juggernaut. Luka/DRob P&R is nightmarish and Steph will absolutely feast off-ball. Draymond can provide secondary playmaking. Reggie Miller is a game changer off the bench.

Rodman is inept offensively. This allows Draymond to wreak havoc with his GOAT-ish help defense. DRob/Ewing, Draymond/Rodman, Doncic/Allen, O'Neale/Durant, Steph/Payton. Payton is a bit of a ball pounder and their roles offensively aren't clear to me.

We have a huge bench edge in Reggie and AK47 versus a bargain basement.

Need to switch FGAs for Steph and Luka

I feel the same about GM's team: really like the talent and fit in the starting lineup, but I just can't live with that bench at this level, and once again his opponent has the edge in top-end talent.

Vote: Laimbeer

That's a vote right?

Yeah sorry, added the vote

[durantbird]

Too long without a writeup. I think I prefer Laimbeer's depth anyway.

Vote beer

[Dr Positivity]

Laimbeer is pretty stacked talent wise himself so I think AK and Miller off the bench makes a difference here. Vote Laimbeer.

Laimbeer advances
