Blue Magic, sent you a BLOCKBUSTER DEAL

[Smoke24]

feels like I haven't picked in ages...willing to give out and get critiques.

C - Greg Monroe/Markieff Morris
PF - Taj Gibson/JJ Hickson
SF - Danilo Gallinari/James Johnson
SG - Klay Thompson
PG - Ty Lawson/Ramon Sessions
Coach: George Karl

You have two question marks imo on your team, That's Gallo's ability to stay healthy and JJ Hickson ability to stay productive. If Healthy they both can be good and that's a bonus for you. In fact JJ Hickson is probably the biggest enigma in the league, Don't know weather he's misguided or what but...

...You have a very good coach to try and get the most out of him. In fact because of your team being so young, Karl can work these guys into at least a playoff spot, and we know what can happen when you get to the playoffs, anything.

Klay showed a lot last year when thrust into the starting role, but he has to improve on the other aspects of his game to become really good, and since he was a rookie last year, i'm counting on that. Ty Lawson and Greg Monroe will make your team go, Still young, but productive players. Gibson is the enforcer, and with prima donas in the league, Its always good to have a guy like that.

Your bench isn't all time greatest, but I like Sessions and I especially like Morris to not cause a sinking ship when they are in the game.

Your team is good enough to give teams fits, and they will have to bring their A game to beat you. Likewise, your players can't take nights off and have to bring it every night to beat opposing teams.

Smoke I appreciate the comments. For the most part I agree with your overall assessment of my squad.

I feel that I can be anywhere from a 4-8 seed in the playoffs depending on how my team progresses. I don't think I have the most talented team, but I think I arguably have the best team in terms of fit. I think my players fit together really nicely both on the offensive end and defensive end. I have a coach who likes to coach a team without a "superstar".

Regarding your two questionmarks. Gallo injury concerns is obviously something I have to take into consideration and if my team ever wants to get where I want it to go he needs to be that unique 3rd option that can get to the rim, draw fouls, and keep teams honest with him outside shooting. I think I did a good job combating Gallo injury problems with selecting pretty durable players to play along side him. So in case something does happen for a period of time I should be able to manage.

Hickson is less of an enigma as one may seem. Yes he played miserable in that 35 game stretch as a King, but I think the Kings don't have the leadership and coaching to keep a player like Hickson under control. He is 23 years old and is an active player. He is a very good rebounder, especially on the offensive end and is a good finisher around the hoop. The fact that I won't be overly reliant on him makes me feel comfortable. He is coming off the bench playing a 20-25 minute role. He is not the 1-4 offensive option and he has a good P&R guy in sessions off the bench to get him some easy hoops.

I like the fact that I have 4 or 5 guys that can lead my team in scoring every night. Obviously I wasn't blessed with a top 10 pick to grab me one of the elite players to build around so I thought I would build around a young, relatively cheap nucleas that would work well under a team concept.
