Redeem Team Draft (2008 and on) - Discussion

[Larry_Russell]

Well I think I have done all I can.

Adding dpoy candidate center who makes a few threes in Bam and a 6moy winner in Odom to the 4 man core of the Raptors only championship which they beat a better philly, a bettwr bucks and a vastly superior GSW team.

I feel the same about my team. Took Wade over my usual standbye Dirk specifically so I could take advantage of a big dropping.

Wade is one of the elite first options in this. Mobley/Gasol is an incredible front court. Jrue is an ideal third/fourth option. Defense is elite. My team doesn’t “lack” anything.

Not sure it’s enough though. Middle teams who didn’t get two MVP level guys and also didn’t get LeBron/Joker are in a tight spot.

Agreed. I like our 2 teams a bunch. They are very team focused, fit focused that will probably get overlooked due to only having a single mvp guy.

Pretty happy with my team. Now I just need to hope Jarrett Allen, Darius and Ausar will do well in the playoffs

I considered Ausar in my plans for the draft. But eventually with the Hayward pick I was 0.1 FGA short of being able to draft him.

Love Ausar- great 1-5 defender and he’s great as a fast break offensive player.

His shooting means he’s still really bad in the half court on offense, but worth a bench spot.

Finally Detroit has some modern draftable pieces lol. Cade is still pretty expensive. I considered their backup big instead of Tristan Thompson.

I guess Ausar's brother might be a regular in these as well.

I would have picked Beef Stew myself except I'm using Bosh as backup 5.

I would have picked him if not for optics. Guy is a legit rim protector even if I personally get really frustrated with him.
