Not where I'd like my team to be, but still pretty confident moving forward with it.

I feel like I have a team that doesn't look fantastic on paper but would just steamroll anybody in real games (against other bat teams)

Excellent backcourt. Front court leaves a lot to be desired.

mp.. Love the nick young pickup next to a guy like LeBron, he'll be lethal. Like it much better than the Williams pickup actually.

I think you have one of the best teams tbh. Chris paul can make any offense go and he has goodoutside shooters in Deng and Meeks. Brand and haywood will be tough to score against down low. Brand is old but an incredibly under rated defender. One of the best post defenders in the league. Haywood is astronomically overpaid but he is a decent player beyond that. Manu a fantastic 6th man actually. Need a backup point and some younger more offensively gifted big men and thats a fantastic team.

Likewise. I think I know who he plans to be the starter also.

Appreciate the comments!
I love your team -- offensively. Not much to love on the defensive end, but your squad is easily the best on offense. Can't wait to see how your bench rounds out.

Nick Young can be a letal shooting the ball. He got into some bad habits in washington (who wouldn't playing with the likes of John Wall and Javel McGee.
But there is something about having a guy who can score 20 points a game off the bench which is really exciting to have. Also when LeBron is out he doesn't need a PG to get him shots like other good shooters. He can create on his own. The only downside to his game would be his unwillingness to pass but I don't see that as much of a problem with LeBron running the show.
I knew Marvin Williams wouldn't be a sexy pick because he isn't someone that does anything extremely well. Isn't the best shooter, isn't the best rebounder, isn't the best defender. But he is above average in all those catagories.
He plays very well without the ball and his ability to guard 2 all the way up to 4's makes his a great bench player. He has a very good shot especially when open and assuming the floor is going to be spread and Gortat and Splitter are going to be rolling to the hoop Power Forwards are going to leave him and he has a sweet jumper.

Exactly David. You need some athleticism in that front court or no lob city.

I hear what you mean about Marvin. He's a solid role player. Go out there, grab 7 boards, play solid defense, don't turn the ball over and hit your open shots. He can do that for you..

The thing I like about my teams defense is they are all pitbullesque tough fighters. Matthews and Kaman are the only above average guys and Kaman is the best defender on the team. His post defense and rebounding will be crucial. His blocks (1.6bpg) are a nice little touch to that. Nelson Granger and Aldridge are all decent defenders as well although nothing spectacular. I expect Granger and Nelson to be the leaders (just look at how granger is going at lebron--- I love it) and Aldridge to be the killing them softly kind of guy. I do see what you mean though and I plan to use my next few picks to add some defensive oriented guys

The JJ Boozer Howard core should be phenomenal but collison has been such a huge disappointment the past two years. I remember when he looked like a future all star when CP3 went down, but those flashes have all seemed to dissappear. Artest was a nice way to solidfy the starting lineup, and im interested to see how the bench fills out. Definitely potential to win it all. One negative is this team will be in salary cap hell
