25' Top 8 Clubs Draft - Round 1 - MadNess* vs GeorgeMarcus 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Fri Jul 11, 2025 10:12 pm

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. Once the writeups are posted, I will add a poll, and the team with the most votes after 24 hours will advance. EACH MANAGER SHOULD ALSO VOTE FOR THEIR OWN TEAM IN THE POLL - IF YOU FAIL TO DO THIS, YOU ARE SIMPLY GIVING AWAY A VOTE. If the votes are tied, we will decide the matchup via AI vote.

You are not required to state or explain your vote, but you are free to comment in the thread if you want to.

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).

SF: OG Anunoby (30) | James Harden (10) | James Jones (8)
PF: LeBron James (40) | OG Anunoby (8)
Cc: Tyson Chandler (36) | Tristan Thompson (12)

Total: 87.7 | 88.0 FGA

08’-09’ LeBron James 19.9 FGA MVP
10’-11’ Ray Allen 12.2 FGA ALL STAR 45% 3’s
11’-12’ James Harden 10.1 FGA 6MOTY
24’-25’ OG Anunoby 13.9 FGA 3 & D
11’-12’ Tyson Chandler 5.7 FGA DPOY
24’-25’ Jalen Brunson 18.5 FGA ALL NBA 2
17’-18’ Tristan Thompson 4.4 FGA
15’-16’ James Jones 3.0 FGA 40% 3’s

GL GM!

OG on ANT
Ray on VO
LeBron on Draymond
Chandler on Ewing (6 hard fouls coming for Thompson)
Brunson on Price

GM has no one to defend MVP LeBron

GM has no one to defend Harden off the bench

We will push pace and make Ewing ineffective.

Elite spacing around LeBron
