2000s Draft Redux - R1 - Fadeaway_J* vs Fifii 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Fri Sep 12, 2025 6:56 am

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).

PG : Allen Iverson 46 / Saša Vujačić 2
SG : Kyle Korver 34 / Saša Vujačić 14
SF : Shawn Marion 32 / Richard Jefferson 16
PF: Amar’e Stoudemire 38 / David West 4 / Shawn Marion 6
C: Ben 38 / David West 10

I have similar two positions , PG and C. In SG in my team in whole game run tricky shooter so him give gravity to AI3. In my opinion Shaw Marion is better than Danny Granger. Especially in D. I have two rooks Richard Jefferson who is second in ROTY vote and David West who play when Noah is on the court. Lewis is good three point shooter, but Amare is better in interior filed. Better defender and he can grab some offense rebounds.

I win because I have clutch player which is AI3 who took him team to the finals with iconic moment step over Lue and my weaknesses are masked very well.

This superstar pairing should mesh extremely well, with a pick-and-roll maestro in CP3 feeding a devastating roll man and lob catcher in Dwight (before he started to chafe at those roles later on in his career). Our floor spacing is impeccable with Granger, Lewis, and Bell (plus Hinrich off the bench) all bombing threes at high volume and accuracy. Both forwards provide a combination of size, shooting ability, and on-ball creation that opposing frontcourts will be challenged to contain. Defensively, Dwight is the anchor while CP3 is a menace at the point of attack. Bell, Hinrich, and Elie can lock in on varied perimeter threats. Young Noah is already creating havoc at that end. Granger is underrated, especially as a supplementary rim protector at the combo forward spot (1.4 bpg).

Matchup
- We'll start off with CP3 on AI, Bell on Korver, Lewis on Marion, Granger on Ben, and Dwight on Amar'e. Dwight is one of the few true 5s who can hang with Amar'e from an athleticism standpoint. Ben's offensive ineptitude allows Granger to put his help defensive skills to good use. Bell and Hinrich will see significant time on AI to prevent CP3 from getting worn down.
- Fifii's team isn't really built to complement AI in the halfcourt. Korver is the only reliable shooter, and both Marion and Amar'e are playing a position down from where they were really unlocked with the SSOL Suns (and that's to accommodate an offensive liability in Ben who will clog up their driving lanes). Besides, AI is more of a drive-and-kick guy who would benefit from having more spot-up shooters like Korver around him.
- Between Lewis, Granger, and Dwight, there's nowhere to hide Amar'e defensively. And that's just individually; once we get his man screening for CP3, Amar'e is in even more trouble. On that note, there isn't really a great answer for CP3 either.

Good luck Fifii.
