The Unpopular Stars draft - Discussion thread

Man parsnips got me good with the Big Al pick.

Looks like he's headed to the bench after all? I like the Wallaces with MJ/Pippen.

GOATbrook has been tough as well. There were a number of good, cheap points in this one. And he had one of the higher fga's.

He is, but 18.8 FGA for a 12-minute backup is rough.

I’m toying with the idea of using Demar as a 6th man. Certainly for more minutes though.

I’ve got a lineup that fits him decently as a starter though.

King just got bumped to super 6th man

Anybody actually have the stones to start their unpopular star???

(I'm also considering sending IT back to the bench)

I still might.

I don’t hate the fit.

I am 100% starting Baron

When I toyed around with the idea of Kawhi-Stockton-Malone that Snake now has, I would've had Baron as my 6th man at PG and SG, but in that rotation I would've had 2 lesser offensive players in my starting group, and I really would only actually want 1.

I think it's a great fit tbh. Got plenty of 3 point shooting, Stockton+Malone, Kawhi, etc.

If you bring DeRozan off the bench and start more of a 3&D SG, that leaves the door open for more favorable defensive assignments for your opponent.

Starting mine would have been essentially conceding defeat.

Could use some votes in the other game if people have time

I'll be starting Howard, he has solid midrange beside Shaq

[MadNESS]

Happy with Nash / Iggy / Bowen / Bron

King not so much at least he can score

[Dr Positivity]

Reminder next round is an A side

Starting to wonder if some big names will go undrafted.

Debating whether to use 2016 Draymond for 10.1 FGA with the outlier 3 point shooting season, or to take 2017 Draymond for 8.6 FGA. Might just depend on what bench pieces are around. Could that 1.5 FGA be better spent on a bench piece? We shall see.

My attitude with him is that you shouldn’t count on him being seen as a 3 point shooter, and he’s at least as good at the other positives he brings in 2017 as 2016.

I may still start Demar. Christie is just an inherently useful player I grab every time I can.
