Built my team around Howard - How did I go? 

Post#1 » by Sweet J » Sat Oct 23, 2010 12:25 am

Head to head, Standard 9 Categories. 10 team league. Also weekly roster setting. With pick 5 decided to try and build around Dwight. How did I do? Wanted Rondo but he went 1 pick before Josh Smith :( , but stil happy with him. Took a punt on Yao, maybe can use him as trade bait if he comes good. Any improvements I can make?

C- D. Howard (5)
UT- M. Camby (76)
UT- Y. Ming (85)
UT- C. Landry (96)

really good, Howard/Smith/Kidd is a sick combo. I'd get rid of Ming and Landry and replace them with some 3 point shooters who can get some assists. Beno Udrih would fit perfect for that. If you get some 3's and assists your fine, you don't need the REB from Ming and Landry as you have enough.

Cheers, yeah that may be a good idea. Pretty stacked in the front court and with Mike Miller going down will need to pick up the 3's

Your 3 pointers, ft% and turn overs are all going to be massive weaknesses.

I'd consider starting Augustin, he'll help you in 3's,assists, and FT%, all areas you need help on.

You're going to struggle in points too, you have a lot of guys who don't score much on your team. I'd definitely shore up assists and threes.

You got the ideal combo in D-12/Smith/Kidd, very good starting point. IMO, David West is a bad fit for this team as his strength is efficiency but this team is not built around that. Hes still a solid player and will fetch good value in trades. I don't think assists are as big of a need as scoring and 3s. You got Kidd & Felton who will get 7-9 per game, plus sneaky sources in Manu, Smith (4-5 apg) as well as wildcards in T-Will and Augustin.

you could always punt FT% and Points. I agree West should be traded, I'd see If I could get Bargnani for him.

Thanks for the imput! What other players would fit? Bargnani and ...? After my top three picks I knew I would be light on scoring, hence the David West pickup.

Would a trade like D. West + Landry for T. Murphy + C. Frye be worthwhile, or could I get more for West?
