Jrue Holiday Draft - R1 - Larry_Russell vs durantbird*

[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).

Vs

PG: Lillard (38) / Curry (10)
SG: Middleton (38) / Curry (10)

PF: Horford (38) / Kirilenko (10)

Matchup
- Defensive assignments: Paul vs Lillard, Havlicek vs Middleton, Allen vs Kirilenko, Mobley vs Horford, Wilt vs Kareem.
- We match up well with Paul and Wilt against their two main offense focal points. Havlicek Anunoby Jones bring additional defensive versatility, with Anthony as a defensive minded guard to throw at Lillard, and Allen as an underrated defender. Mobley will be great as an help defender
- Both teams are somewhat similarly constructed with the combination of a dominant PG C duo, though I prefer CP3's overall impact on a team as a true facilitator. Allen Havlicek are much better 3-4 options than Middleton Kirilenko, and our bench is much more solid, with Anunoby and Jones several levels more impactful than any other guy he has.
