Also, someone please let me know if my team happens to be fun to play with on NBA 2K14.

I do love that Rubio/Victor backcourt and how there's a lot of shooters around them. Pretty young, exciting backcourt.

And dont skip your last picks man. They may not matter at all really but who picking the scrubs is my favorite part.

I'm still messing with the lineup, I gotta change the sig again. As of now, the minutes are going like this...

G: Rubio - 30 / Wolters - 18
G: Oladipo - 30 / Morrow - 18
F: Harkless - 24 / Miles - 24
F: Davis - 18 / Anderson - 30
C: Hawes - 28 / Plumlee - 20

I got enough long range shooting among Morrow, Harkless, Miles, Davis, and Hawes to allow for the Rubio/Oladipo backcourt to get extensive minutes together. Also, when Rubio and Oladipo are out on the break or in transition, I've built a roster that allows for them to immediately pass the ball out for quick threes.

Like I said in other posts, it's a Seven Seconds or Less offense, but with little defensive sacrifice, and without having to go small. So I've taken an offensive system and improved upon its flaws.

If Anderson is healthy and you flip the front court starters with that Anderson/Plumlee combo, I think your line-up becomes more balanced. The question ends up being about Anderson's health. I don't think your team is bad at all, but a lot hinges on Oladipo's growth and Anderson's health imo. The dark horse on your squad is Wolters, the kid can defend and I like his potential. That was a great pick up imo.

I was considering having Anderson as the 6th man scoring 20 ppg off the bench. Any leads that my team would have, Anderson would extend them. However, I guess I can do the same with Hawes off the bench going up against another team's 2nd unit bigs.

nice Booker pick remi

I do love that Rubio/Victor backcourt and how there's a lot of shooters around them. Pretty young, exciting backcourt.

If I stick to the lineup I have now in my sig, I'll have at least two high % 3PT shooters who also shoot at a high volume and an athletic pick and roll big on the floor at all times.

Considering Rubio and Oladipo's versatility, it isn't out of the question for me to have either Wolters or Morrow in the lineup with them at times. Wolters isn't as likely, but Morrow for sure considering he shoots 45% on threes. Oladipo would be the shooting guard version of Shawn Marion in his prime.

I didn't just take guys who just happen to be able to shoot threes in hopes that they'd shoot a better on my team. This would be the case if I took a bunch of 33-35% shooters.

- Harkless shot 38% from three for the year, 40% from three (3 attempts per game) over the last 24 games.
- Oladipo may have shot 33% from three for the year, but he shot 40% from three (3 attempts per game) over the last 30 games.
- Miles shot 39% from three for the year, but he shot 43% from three (5 attempts per game) over his last 30 games.
- Wolters didn't shoot that many threes, but over the last 20 games, he attempted 2 per game and hit them at a 46% clip.
- I don't need to make a case for Morrow, Anderson, or Hawes. With very little argument, I have the #1 3PT shooting SG, PF, and C in the NBA. (Note: IMO, Kyle Korver is actually a SF).

Most all of these guys are accustomed to being the sole three point threat on the respective lineups they're accustomed to playing. Put them all to play on the same team together, and it has the potential to become chaos for the opposing team to try to defend.

was looking at delfino but that injury scares me.

A first time injury that's a broken foot for a wing player doesn't really concern me honestly.

There isn't a single injury in the world that concerns Mecca

Lol I was thinking the same thing. Good pick with Saric by the way. I really like the guy and had been waiting on him, apparently a bit too long.

who is 274? I updated most of the picks on the list above...

rubio is a nice defender, although sometimes gambles too much. oladipo is a stopper (although, i would like to see another year or two to see what he's fully capable of, a la shumpert). i don't know much about mohawk though

In the event that I face a team where Hawes and Anderson can't play together, this is where Ed Davis and Miles Plumlee would play more minutes. This will cure any defensive deficiencies. Davis and Plumlee each can protect the rim, while also taking the more difficult PF/C defensive assignment.

Ryan Anderson pairs up with Miles Plumlee, while Spencer Hawes pairs up with Ed Davis.

Also, I don't care if Al Jefferson destroys any of my guys downlow. Hawes or Anderson both would destroy him on the other end, forcing Jefferson to guard all the way out in the 3PT line.

Against a Jefferson/Young, if I play Hawes and Anderson together, then Rubio, Oladipo, and one of Morrow/Miles/Harkless will have an easy night either getting to the hoop or shooting from mid range.

You can attempt to throw Bledsoe/Ariza/Brewer at me, but Bledsoe is the only one who can handle the ball for a considerable length of time. Easy pickings for Rubio, Oladipo, Miles, and Harkless to steal the ball.

that makes more sense. but i was looking at it the way you had it. i didn't mean to put just you and i against each other in a matchup, i was merely trying to state the fact that hawes and anderson, together at the same time, would be an awful defensive tandem. jefferson would get destroyed by a hawes and anderson pairing on offense though.

yeah, brewer and ariza should never handle the ball. i don't know much about mohawk

He's not my guy so I'm not gonna go too hard on Booker [PAUSE]

But for those inquring about why I love the Booker selection at this juncture:

* He rebounds (both offensive and defensive)
* He can post up
* He can hit the jumper out to 18ft
* He has a cold stare (you don't want to look him in his eyes bro)
* He is tough
* HE IS A DAWG!

I'm really counting on it to pay dividends later.

Two more picks and I have two PG's on my want list before I feel really comfortable with my squad.

like you stated before, i think the matchup matters. davis is the better athlete, whereas plumlee is more of a banger/buiser. i wouldn't say they're defensive beasts that teams will be scared to go at in the paint, but they can definitely hold their own and are young with plenty of growth. i was actually going to ask you about davis because i wanted defense.


but anderson and hawes should eat up most of the minutes in the frontcourt, as they are, by far, more talented than the other two by a long stretch. but that's mainly at the offensive end. i think pairing anderson with plumlee, then davis with hawes, should suit your team better.

Do not try to say Harkless or Oladipo are even average 3 pt. shooters for NBA wings. Any player I bet you could take 20 or so games over the course of a season in which they shoot close to 40%.

Also my team is pretty much done, so if anyone has any thoughts I would love to hear them.

considering there was a point where he and his doctors thought he might not be able to revoer properly i found it concerning. i know hes saying hes fine now but if he was mulling retirement its something you have to at least think about. its still a good pick

i really like your team alot. I do think you need to improve the backup big man situation. I would suggest moving jennings for a legit big.
