Love the pick since I think he can spread the court and score some with the ball, but I thought he was a PF?

SF/PF...a big reason I grabbed him. I need bench guys that can contribute at multiple positions.

don't know anything about because he's never played a minute in the NBA. just like the rest of them, he could be a gallo or milicic

I know people love to knock Darko...but it's not his fault he got drafted 2nd overall, ahead of Carmelo. He still was a solid player for a few years - starting caliber. If that is the worst case scenario for Teletovic, wouldn't that be a GREAT pick at this point?

Im pretty sure he isnt athletic enough to play SF in the league. Im not sure if he can even play good defense at PF, but SF is a bad gamble to put him there imo. Still love the pick because of the scoring upside, but I just dont feel he can play SF in the NBA.

I know people love to knock on "that euro guy"...but it's not his fault he got "drafted high, ahead of others". He still was a solid player for a few years - starting caliber. If that is the worst case scenario for Teletovic, wouldn't that be a GREAT pick at this point?

not saying the pick was bad, i just don't know anything about telet. nice to see him come over to actually play finally.

that euro guy really only started because he was on a bad team. but the 9, 5 and 2 blks he put up 2 years ago are much better than i expected him to at all. he didn't need to do much on his team, but he finally accepted his role and i like him better for that. i love his new persona.

Nice coaching pick by Mpharris, Karl really fits that team.

Yeah I think we all know my team isn't win now, so how does my team look for the future?

Nasty frontcourt, but your backcourt is taking you nowhere.

Pretty much, although Stuckey is decent.

The problem I see with your team is that outside of Milsap and Davis, everyone else on your squad has a losing record in the NBA. Also, besides Cousins, I don't know if any other guy on your squad has serious allstar potential.

This is the time where this conversation takes a turn and I disagree with everything y'all said while trying to aggressively pimp my team in the process. Well Can't do that cause I sort of agree. The reason why I got those guys in the backcourt is because they can spread the floor and provide a scoring punch if I needed it. Are they efficient, not all the time, but where I got them, I saw them as the best players who can try and take pressure off the big men. And Marshall is considered the best passer in the draft.

Plus I don't think I've spent any real money yet :lol:

Future wise, I dont like that most of the other main players other then Cousins, are in the 25-27 year range. All of those guys are either paid or going to be paid soon. Also means the upside isnt as high. So overall your team might be stuck in a limbo between ready now and ready future.

your backcourt i think needs help. frontcourt is nasty. but you need some backcourt help

Above average defense at every position except shooting guard. Though scoring is a concern, a guy like Teague would put Mo Williams #'s playing alongside Lebron. You would get 15-20 ppg from Allen. Bass and Chandler should give you 12 ppg each with Lebron.

PG: Jeff Teague/C.J. Watson
SG: Ray Allen/Alec Burks
SF: LeBron James
PF: Brandon Bass/Tyler Hansborough
C: Tyson Chandler

apparently u didnt watch summer league. Marshall has trouble defending, cant shoot, and alot of other things. he really probably isnt gonan be much of a Starter in the league

Yeah, those facts weren't lost on me as well. I put this team together thinking that they can learn to win together. Plus this is a team that can showcase their talents without an avalanche of pressure. They can become better players, or stat padders, by playing with each other. Kind of like a (Former Coach to be named later) did while he was in NY. Inflate everyone stats to new levels...
