10 team, H2H (each category) keeper league. PTS, 3PTS, FG%, FT%, AST, OREB, DREB, STL, BLK. Rosters are PG/G/G/F/F/C/UTILx3 plus bench. Note that rebounds are split into two categories, making our league slanted towards rebounding big men.
Team A
Rajon Rondo
Ty Lawson
Tony Parker
Greg Monroe
Blake Griffin
David Lee
Lamar Odom
Boris Diaw
Evan Turner
Team B
Raymond Felton
Ty Lawson
Mike Conley
Josh Smith
Blake Griffin
Greg Monroe
Lamar Odom
Boris Diaw
Evan Turner
Obviously these two teams are very similar. I've been doing a lot of mocks and I keep coming back to these two cores of teams. Considering that both teams are designed to punt FT%, which team is better? Remember that this league splits REBS into OREB and DREB, and that it's a keeper league.
I'm drafting at the 10/11 position, so if anyone has any advice on a draft strategy I'd love to hear it. Based on the above two teams, I'm leaning towards Griffin/Rondo or Griffin/Smith at 10/11.

Re: Which of these teams is better?
I would never consider Rondo top 11. From your other thread, even someone like Ellis would be superior if you intend on punting FT%. You'd be trading 5-6 assists for 10+ points and 1.5+ 3's, and more flexibility in general. You can pick up someone like Kidd later if you want assists with minimal FT% influence.
In your draft slot though, I would just take BPA, esp. since Dwight falling is pretty much out of the question that late in that format. Spending a top 10 pick to punt FT% Griffin just screams underwhelming to me when there are really good rebounders that'll be available that contribute more in blocks and won't kill your FT% either (Gasol,Amare,AlJeff). If curry's available at 10, I don't see how you could pass on him either.
I'd take team B over A though.

Griffin wasn't that valuable last season. He's looking tremendously overrated and you should not punt FT% for him.
Dunno why you're actively attempting to punt a category. I feel like you're making things harder on yourself.
I like Team A a whole lot more.
