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).

88/88

Defemd straight upnwoth nance and Brown swapping onto bird to give differing looks.

Defense is awesome on my team but the offense is even better.

Steph, klay, brown, horford give me a legit 4 out offense with nance attacking with brown.

Unstoppable

Defensive Assignments: Turner > Nance, Kemp > Brown, Bird > Horford, Butler > Curry, Kyrie > Klay

-Bird-centric offense with a roster full of non-heliocentric players who fill key roles, with Kemp as a play-finisher and Turner providing key spacing at the 5.
-Turner/Kemp provides elite shot-blocking and rim protection against Brown/Nance downhill game and allows out perimeter defensive pieces to hug-up and chase Curry off the line.
-Mobile bigs in Bird/Kemp/Turner provide key Pick-and-Roll coverage against Curry and company
-Brown isn't a good enough passer of playmaker to unlock all of Curry/Klay off-ball gravity, while Butler/Kyrie can both capitalize on Bird's contagious passing and playmaking
