Thoughts on my team at the moment? The 1980 Lakers started a center (Chones) at PF next to Kareem so I thought a Kareem-Walton twin tower should be fine.

There is a better Center for less FGA, defensively. Bynum provides a nice offensive push.

Draymond attempted 258 3's in the regular season and 104 in the post-season. He was streaky with 10/23 post-season games hitting 0 3's (0/29 in those 10 games from deep).

I assume over the course of a series he will hit 3's at that clip.

So when we choose a season, it's not just regular season stats that are considered, but also post-season? For instance those who are prone to choking in high pressure situations? McGrady never advancing in playoffs as the lead player, despite being very clutch in the regular season. Etc.

Also when you say "at that clip" which clip do you mean? The clip he has demonstrated over the course of his career, in a greater variety of scenarios, that he is likely to contribute? Or the single year contribution, even if at odds with career?

Was it Mourning?

I really should have held off on the Barry pick and taken him or Bynum

I think so. The Heat played better with Mourning than they did with Shaq in 2006. His 2.7 Blocks in only 20 minutes is big.

I liked Bynum as well, especially in this game.

Sorry I had missed this before. I agree it should be fine because they are both skilled players and possess good agility in the seasons selected. Nice outside the box combo!

I figured the best possible team would be if I got lucky and my target Bynum fell a round later, while still getting Barry. I didn't love my draft position in this one so it was a risk worth taking to me.
