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).

Player Year FGA
Scottie Pippen 1996 15.8
Bill Walton 1977 14.3
Chris Mullin 1990 16.3
Tyrese Haliburton 2024 15.2
Pascal Siakam 2019 11.8
Nickeil Alexander-Walker 2023 5
Naji Marshall 2024 5.6
Greg Ostertag 2003 4

Total FGA 88

Tyrese Haliburton (38) Nickeil Alexander-Walker (10)
Chris Mullin (40) Nickeil Alexander-Walker (8)
Scottie Pippen (40) Naji Marshall (10)
Pascal Siakam (38) Naji Marshall (10)
Bill Walton (38) Greg Ostertat (10)

-LeBron-led teams are difficult to top but Pippen/Siakam are two excellent bodies to throw on LeBron with Peak Walton in the back-line as a GOAT level rim protector
-Walton is going to feast on older Kevin Love while defensively he will be in a deep drop and playing well off of AK47
-Haliburton is a difficult cover as Klay/LeBron/Middleton don't have the lateral movement required to stay in front of him
-Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Naji Marshall are better players and great defenders unlike Paxson/Harris, though we do respect RWIII
-Peak Mullin is better than both Klay/Middleton and the opposition without a true PG lacks overall playmaking and creation
-Ultimately a talent advantage with a clean fit, better defensive front-court gives us a major advantage as well as a better bench
