I might try one with my four eligible letters if I get a chance before the deadline.

Well that and having 3-R's and 2-S's

You can’t skip “E” to get to L.

It’s the first 8 eligible letters.

Having Porter (never all NBA) and Drexler (1x 1st team) in this is pretty good situation, though I felt like I was one player away from making it perfect.

He skipped the “e” in Russell to get a second “l”.

I certainly like my team more now than prior.

Wondering on peoples thoughts on Sean Elliot.

Doesnt get drafted too often (if ever?) but he was an excellent shooter, and a very good defender and could do everything.

I start to check about how to switch my username for this game to try and build the best team under the restrictions, but passed on it. Too much hassle

Elliot = Barnes / Wiggins type?

Teams without a true point can be a tough sell around here

I dont disagree, but I feel like Roy can pretty easily be a point guard. Couple that with Brandons own statements of wanting to be a point guard....

I have no problem with a Roy type carrying out PG duties. That's pretty much what he was in real life. You just need someone to defend the opposing PG.

Roy was a primary ball handler. No issues offensively with him as a point.

Particularly if he’s being paired with another shot creator like Kawhi.

Anyone want to make a team for me with my letters? KDAWGKDA provides a nice foundation of stars, but I don't have the time to build a team
