2020s Draft - R1 - Fadeaway_J vs Larry_Russell

[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. 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).

87.9/88

I will defend straight up on this one and I actually like how I matchup here. Wemby is about as good as anyone at defending Jokic, Horford matches Mobley very well, Durant has an easier assignment on OG, Curry on Lowry is the same and White takes on Edwards.

Offensively I really click

Curry has a bunch of guys who can move the ball, maximizing his ability to shoot his shot. Durant is still an elite scorer even at this age. White, Horford are ideal role players both capable of passing and handling the ball and making shots. Wemby is a bit of a wildcard offensively with his unicorn skills.
