Biggest Draft Misses Draft - R1 - Larry_Russell* vs ReggiesKnicks 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Thu Jun 19, 2025 7:24 pm

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).

87/88

Matchups
Billups on SGA
Lebron/Tatum on Roy
Peja on Jones
Tatum/Lebron on Davis
Chandler on Walton

I match up great against any team defensively. This is PEAK LeBron James I have on my team, runner up DPOY, can defend any position on the court in one of his engaged defensively seasons. He and a very sound defender in Tatum will take on duties of defending Roy and Davis. Billups an elite defnder will take on SGA, CHandler, another elite defender takes on Walton and Peja hides on Jones


Offensively I am on a whole other level. I have surrounded lebron with lethal/efficient scoring from Tatum and Peja and billups acts as secondary playmaker and yet another 3 point shooter. Chander is a perfect screen setter and roller/lob threat for my ball handlers.
