The determination the voters will be making here is Giannis/Jokic + Elite Wing/CP3 or Curry/Ingles.
Going to be interesting.
Since most went CP3/Wing I assume that will win.

One of the teams fit in Giannis+Jokic+LeBron+CP3, so I think he has the edge at quick glance. Even with a down year from LeBron. Not sure the difference in guys 5-8 makes up for that big 4.

I clearly made a mistake taking Turner and OG and not consolidating FGA for more star power but I really like the fit and depth of my team with the big three. Should've figured out a way to take Jokic over Turner though, that was dumb...

Depends on people view these guys. Butler was terrible in the post-season and LeBron was recovering from an injury.
I'm really high on LeBron pre-injury and quite low on him post-injury.

I can't stand that combo. It's ridiculous, every one of those guys is best with the ball in his hands, is this a 4 basket-balls per team league? Cause in that case it might work but in real nba it would be absurd.

Kind of wish I'd gone with a Luka-Kawhi build to distinguish myself, but I've done it so many times already and it's never really worked...

They're all capable of playing well enough off the ball. Harden-Paul in Houston and KD-Harden-Kyrie in Brooklyn worked well. Great players tend to figure it out and talent usually prevails. At any rate, a number of teams have Jokic/Giannis/Paul.

I'm surprised no one really loaded up on their bench. They're all pretty good, but I'm not seeing any big difference makers.

Yeah exactly, two of those types can figure it out. Kyrie is much better off ball then any of your guys. Jokic/Giannis/CP3 is really pushing it to me but I suppose if the rest of the unit are off ball shooters it can work. Adding lebron to the mix is a bridge way too far for me. There's no way all those guys can get their touches and wouldn't be pissed off at playing 3rd/4th fiddle when they've always been the 1st/2nd. Sorry it just doesn't work for me.

If we ever did this one again, I'd propose adding these counts to the FGA for the player.

My team was very similar to Colbinii, with Jrue Holiday/PJ Tucker instead of Bridges/Ingles, and Thybulle over Caruso
