Power Rank These Teams

[cochiseuofm]

I started a dynasty league with my friends where we keep all of our players from year to year (unless we want to drop them.) No FA signings are allowed during the season, they all go into next year's draft class. We also have 3-player D-Leagues, players that technically are on our teams but not part of our active roster. Only one D-League call up is allowed during the season.

I've also changed Yahoo presets, which I hate very much, to the following. Instead of the normal starting positions, I have PG, SG, SF, PF, C, Util., and Util. with three bench spots. I also changed roster changes from daily to weekly.

We are still drafting but we're on the 12th round of 13 and mainly picking D-Leaguers. I'm just posting the first 10 players picked, or active roster, from each team. Keep in mind this is a dynasty team so to a certain extent, age matters.

Team A (1st Pick)

PG - Chris Paul
SG - Allen Iverson
SF - Shawn Marion
PF - Elton Brand
C - Pau Gasol
Util. - Caron Butler
Util. - Michael Redd
Bench - Marcus Camby
Bench - Rashard Lewis
Bench - Emeka Okafor

Team B (2nd Pick)

PG - Baron Davis
SG - Jason Richardson
SF - LeBron James
PF - Dirk Nowitzki
C - Andrew Bynum
Util. - Danny Granger
Util. - Kevin Garnett
Bench - Derrick Rose
Bench - Al Horford
Bench - Monta Ellis (probably will start season in the D-League)

Team C (3rd Pick)

PG - Joe Johnson
SG - Kobe Bryant
SF - Rudy Gay
PF - Amare Stoudamire
C - Al Jefferson
Util. - Paul Pierce
Util. - Michael Beasley
Bench - Gilbert Arenas (probably will start season in the D-League)
Bench - OJ Mayo
Bench - Andrew Bogut

Team D (4th Pick)

PG - Deron Williams
SG - Kevin Durant
SF - Luol Deng
PF - David West
C - Yao Ming
Util. - Josh Howard
Util. - Mehmet Okur
Bench - Mike Dunleavy
Bench - Tony Parker
Bench - Charlie Villanueva

Team E (5th Pick)

PG - Chauncey Billups
SG - Dwayne Wade
SF - Carmelo Anthony
PF - Carlos Boozer
C - Chris Bosh
Util. - Jose Calderon
Util. - Greg Oden
Bench - Chris Kaman
Bench - Vince Carter
Bench - Gerald Wallace

Team F (6th Pick)

PG - Steve Nash
SG - Kevin Martin
SF - Andre Iguodala
PF - Josh Smith
C - Dwight Howard
Util. - Tim Duncan
Util. - Brandon Roy
Bench - Devin Harris
Bench - Antawn Jamison
Bench - Andris Biedrins

Those are the six teams. One of those teams is mine though I won't say which one for now. Keep in mind that, like I said before, these are teams we'll mostly keep for the next few fantasy years. So rank these 1-6.

I gotta ask: was Team D drafted as a joke?

I gotta ask: was Team D drafted as a joke?

Haha, no. This is my group of high school friends I have mainly done fantasy football with, so some have a better knowledge of the NBA then others. I also think the dynasty aspect of the league made some owners prematurely draft players whose greatest asset is their age (myself included. Though I am not Team D.)

Anyone else? I'm looking for a couple more responses.

[raps4life~]

B, F, A, C, E, D

Team A is the best, team B is comfortably second, E is bad, D is a joke. Tony Parker should be named Captain/Coach of that mess.

Thanks for the responses. Team F is mine. I think I got caught up in drafting players under 25 early and lost out on a lot of top-level talent for this season. I didn't expect Team A to draft so many top-10 fantasy players from this year over young players either, I don't think anyone did.

I also missed out on drafting Rose, KG, and Ellis, all of whom went to Team B, by four picks in the same round I was going to take them in. But overall I like my team. For those interested, the D-League rosters are as follows:

Team A

Emeka Okafor (he put Jamal Crawford on his active roster instead of Okafor)
Hedo Turkoglu
Leandro Barbosa

Team B

Monta Ellis (he put Tyson Chandler in his active roster for now)
Marvin Williams
Randy Foye

Team C

Gilbert Arenas (he put Mo Williams on his active roster for now)
OJ Mayo (he put Ron Artest on his active roster)
Rodney Stuckey (we're all Pistons fans so Stuckey was definately going to go somewhere)

Team D

Mike Miller
Kevin Love
Ben Gordon

Team E

Rajon Rondo
Greg Oden (he put Vince Carter on his active roster)
Eric Gordon

Team F

JR Smith
David Lee
Marc Gasol

Again, one call-up is allowed but most of these players won't impact our fantasy teams much this year. They are primarily there to develop and provide relief in case of injury.

All players not drafted are just not part of the league. No adds or drops are allowed unless a team loses 7 players to injury for a long period of time, highly unlikely.
