Draft Night Trades Draft - Play in - Dr Positivity vs lilroddyb*

[durantbird]

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).

GL roddy

Defensive matchups: Divac on Duncan, Davis on Draymond, Kawhi on George, Miller on Manu, Rose on Haliburton. Both teams have defenisve issues in the backcourt.

- I don't love the fit of Hali who thrives in pace and space with slower low post offense of Duncan, in addition to Draymond usually not playing in Duncan type offense. Davis finishing plays off Rose penetration should be fine and Divac can set up shooters and cutters.

- 16 Kawhi can take George out of the series on offense. Overall I'd argue we have 2 of the 3 best players in Davis and Kawhi.

- I don't think the benches will decide the series.-

tfga: 87.7

offense

The offense is really versatile with everyone being good to decent threepoint shooter outside of Duncan and Bo but they will never be at the court at the same time. All of my players are unselfish high Iq Players with 5 guys being great playmakers so the ball will find the open shooter/ cutter / lob option. All my guys in the starting lineup can take over game scoring wise outside of Draymond.

Defense

Tyrese Haliburton is the only average defender on my team, everyone else is elite defender and Tim Duncan, Draymond Green are goat tier defenders that will shut down the paint

defensive matchup

Tim Duncan/Bo on Vlade
Draymond Green on Anthony Davis
Paul George/Danny Green on Kawhi
Manu/ Danny Green on Miller
Tyrese/George on Derrick Rose

Overall

Dr P build a great team and its true he has the two of the three best players in Kawhi/Davis vs Duncan but on other hand I think Vlade and Rose are the worst players in the starting lineups for both teams.

I got a clear defensive edge with only one average defender ( Tyrese ) vs ( Reggie, Rose, Kyle Korver and Vlade) not bad but clearly worse than my defenders. we will hunt those mismatches

I got a big advantage in playmaking/passing with multiple great passsers ( Tyrese, Manu and Draymond vs Rose )

best of luck Dr P

Nice easy matchup to start with...

[Fadeaway_J]

Went with Dr P as I didn't love roddy's options for containing Rose of the dribble (apart from PG). I do think Duncan is adaptable enough to fit into roddy's system though.
