State Franchises Draft - Semis - Dr Positivity vs hoopsfan777* 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Tue Jun 17, 2025 9:03 am

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).

Defensive matchups: Billups on Frazier, Tmac on Barry, O'Neale on Miller, Malone on AK, Gobert on Thurmond.

We have solid foundation of Tmac, Malone and Billups and more perimeter/frontcourt balance than his team which is a little weak on offense in the frontcourt and allows the great defensive frontcourt of Malone and Thurmond to make an impact. Having size on Frazier is nice. Our bench is a differnece maker with an all-star in Love and Livingston and Miller are also quality 7th and 8th men from championship teams. Barry is still good but not at his absolute apex.

70 Walt Frazier - 12.8
94 Reggie Miller - 13.2
04 Andrei Kirilenko - 11.9
73 Rick Barry - 17
67 Nate Thurmand - 14
94 Nate McMillan - 5.4
98 Chris Mullin - 8.4
13 Nick Collison - 3.7

Walt Frazier (40) / Nate McMillan (8)
Reggie Miller (38) / Nate McMillan (10)
Rick Barry (40) / Chris Mullin (8)
Andrei Kirilenko (40) / Nick Collison (8)
Nate Thurmand (40) / Nick Collison (8)

We've got outside shooting and inside scoring, perimeter defense and post-defense and rebounding. Frazier wins his matchup with Billups. Reggie and T-Mac cancel each other out. Barry wins his matchup with Royce O'Neal. AK47 handles his on against Malone. Thurmand wins his matchup against Gobert. Our bench handles their own.
