Here is a quick list of what you need in your writeup.

1. Specific years for each player on your team
2. Rotations and minutes for each player
3. Reasoning as to why your team will win and/or why people should vote for you.

If writeups aren't posted within 24 hours, we will vote solely based on the players they have drafted (and any rotations they have posted on their roster page).

**First to 4 votes advances. If neither team has 4 votes after 24 hours, first to 3 votes advances, provided we aren't already tied 3-3.**

Write up:

Any defense anchored by KG and Wallace will be absolutely elite. We also have a lot of offensive fire power in Kidd/Allen/Carter/KG. Carter and Allen will be able to flourish from the playmaking that Kidd/KG provide.

In regards to the matchup I actually think Wallace is the perfect type of center to guard Giannis with his extreme athleticism and rim protecting ability. Kidd is a great defense against Nash

Kidd should be able to feast on Nash, Carter should be able to feast on Stojakovic. Our offense will be really explosive. I assume MJ will put Giannis on KG but Battier vs Wallace would be quite ugly. Even though Wallace is a poor offensive player, he should still score with relative ease through second chance points as he will easily outrebound anyone that MJ uses to guard him.

All in all I like my teams fit more and I think my overall defense and offensive talent is better.

Good luck!

Goober's strengths will be too strong and MJ won't able to attack his weaknesses.

Nash+Peja+Giannis is an insane offensive trio, but Goober's writeup did more to convince me than MJ's did.

Vote: Goober

MJ, do a write up man! I love your roster but I want a little more.

I'll hold off from voting for now but MJ has my favorite roster.

MJ has a great team, but gotta work on those writing skills.

Vote goober

It's a close matchup. Giannis/Nash is a fun duo to build around but Big Ben and KG are two of the best Giannis defenders out there, especially Big Ben imo. With one of those guys guarding Giannis and the other in position to help, it's just going to make life hard for MJ23's team. The Nash/Giannis PnR is as good as it gets, but Kidd/KG/Big Ben to defend it is also about as good as it gets. Prime KG surrounded by two strong perimeter scorers in VC and Ray Allen with Prime Kidd running the show is strong enough offensively to lead Goober to the win.
