[Tony Snell]

You can never have enough DPOY's. I'll go with Tyson Chandler.

get it.

[damecurry]

Okay I think I can find my cheap shooting swingman next round so I'll take my cheap defensive big here instead.



Buck Williams. 1st Team All-Defense and averaged 11/9 on only 7 FGA in the selected 91-92 season. Really good dirty-work guy to backup our two explosive bigs.

your turn.

Detlef Schrempf



I probably shouldn't but the value is too good here. too good a fit next to Howard/KG and with Curry. I'll probably have to go with a 7 man rotation too, but cmon.

[Fadeaway_J]

Eh whatever.


Nicolas Batum

You're up.

[Snakebites]

George Hill.

Need some shooting and defense from my starting point guard, and a guy who can also competantly share ball handling duties with my potent wing combo.

Fits me like a glove, happy to have him.

[parsnips33]

Jared Dudley. Good low FGA option off the bench

Give Me Wesley Matthews, elite Three point shooter that spreads the floor for Hakeem and Russell Westbrook

You're up

[GeorgeMarcus]

Kyrie Irving and Aaron McKie. Can somebody please quote for me?

[lilroddyb]

Give me lord Nick Collison

Elite Role player, veteran, great athlete, dirty, screensetter, good midrange shooter and OKC was way better with him in the lineup just read the quotes

2) I'm 100% sure that no one thinks Collison is very athletic. But according to draftexpress numbers, his athleticism is better than average for a power forward pretty much across the board, and much better than average for a center (and he has the size to play either position). I don't know if anyone puts any stock in these numbers, but his time in the agility test is better than Derrick Rose's and Tyreke Evans', his sprint time is better than Rudy Gay's and Joe Johnson's, and his max vert reach is better than Blake Griffin's

Spoiler:

Anyone have any insight into Collison??

I've been looking over the numbers at basketballvalue.com, and I'm just not seeing anything sketchy in the unit numbers or anything. It's a simple as: The Thunder are very, very good when Collison is in the lineup . . . and somewhere between mediocre and awful when he's on the bench.

Raw ratings (since some people are uncomfortable with the "adjusted" part of APM)
-The simple overall rating while he's on the court has been in double digits for the last two years:
+10.34 (2009-2010)
+14.56 (2010 playoffs)
+11.13 (2010-2011)
+10.64 (2011 playoffs)
Each of those values is among the best in the the league, and #1 in the 2010 playoffs. If we were to just add those four values up and compare with other top players: he's first by a LONG way.

-His simple net rating (the difference between the rating when he's on and when he's off) is absurd:
+9.45 (2009-2010)
+29.39 (2010 playoffs)
+11.05 (2010-2011)
+17.09 (2011 playoffs)

Unit analysis
-His units were successful with or without Westbrook, with or without Harden, and with or without Durant.
-His units were successful when the other big was: Perkins, Ibaka, Green, Krstic, Etan, Nazr, White, or Durant.
-ALL 12 OKC units from both the 2010 and 2011 playoffs that have a positive APM have Collison in the lineup (minimum 10 minutes).
-The top 6 APM units from the 2009-2010 season have Collison.
-11 of the top 14 APM units from the 2010-2011 season have Collison.
-2010-2011 12 of the 14 units that he was on that registered an APM score were positive.
-2009-2010 9 of the 12 units that he was on that registered an APM score were positive.

Is there something I'm missing in all this?
