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).

Bill Walton (28) / Isaiah Hartenstein (20)
Paul George (30) / Anthony Mason (18)
Jayson Tatum (38) / Paul George (10)
Chauncey Billups (30) / Brent Barry (18)
Tyrese Haliburton (38) / Chauncey Billups (10)


On offense, we've got playmaking and scoring galore. Hali will run the team most of the time with Billups as backup providing 48 minutes of top notch playmaking. Kemp is not at his best defensively chasing a top drawer wing like Tatum or George, denting his help defense. Walton will work in the high post so Turner won't be camping down there too much.

Defensively, Walton/Kemp is nice in that it creates some congestion. It's Tatum on Turner, with Mason contributing some bumps. George on Bird and Billups on Butler is solid. An improved Hail will be decent on Kyrie in this setup.

I like our bench a bit better with IHart, Barry, and 6MOY Mason.
