Someone hasn't been watching basketball this year. :lol:

Jabari and KCP are both shooting 39% from 3 at a high clip and Dieng has the highest fg% in the NBA in the mid range.

Good luck with that CoJo / Rubio backcourt though!

really Digging my squad.

FWIW, my boy Isaiah Thomas is averaging 32 PPG and 7 APG with a shooting line of 50/44/93 in 2017. Not that his December line was much different. 8-)

That's probably why the Celtics are 2nd in the East.

Anyway, sorry for that 'cause I assume that nobody cares. lol Hit me up with trade offers. Looking to acquire an upcoming pick.

Short players get no love man. Always overlooked. If he was 6ft+, he would've been drafted earlier IMO. It's one of those weird things that can't be explained

Man, **** this **** skip Border Patrol

Isaiah is damn good but, he's an absolute minus defensively. Hard to build a winner in this format IMO if your main guy is as bad as he is defensively. He's essentially a smaller, slightly worse Harden. He also has a pretty bad track record in the playoffs which doesn't help the case that this efficiency is fool's gold because of calls that are being made in the regular season but, won't be made in the playoffs...

Liking my team, but could use an upgrade at the 3 as well as a back-up bruising big man

OnTheWagon · Post #1874 » by **OnTheWagon** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:20 pm

Wouldn't mind shaking things up. This snake draft is taking way longer than I thought it would.

No crazy lopsided trade offers like Smash just tried though :lol:

We demand to know the details, or it didn't happen

j/k

Since when do point guards have to play defense? All you need is a good SG defender to put on your opposing team's penetrator (whether it's a PG or SG). It's a crime that IT and Lowry fell out of the top 20 IMO. They lead top offenses.

I hear what you're saying. I agree that Lowry and IT probably should have been picked before the 20's. I'm just saying that it's very difficult in this specific format to win when you're best player is notoriously bad at defense because it kind of forces your hand when it comes to your other picks and leaves less flexibility going forward where players become more specialized and less talented.

When you have AB as your SG you can make up for the deficiencies, but Dudley who is now a traditional back up 4...i think IT is gonna get exposed, but you do still have time to upgrade

Dudley is a hybrid 3/4 and can play some minutes at the 2, but I hear you.

Gimme Bradley.
