Im sure you have a plan for the later rounds, but i think you should have gone with a better PG now who can hit Grainger and Aldridge in their spots. Grainger is a good 1 on 1 player, but he is an even better when hes moving without the ball. You need somone who can find him when he comes off the screen for the open 2 or 3. Matthews is a great player though. Definatly towards the top of my current list of "BPA" But you can find serviceable SG's later on too. Not so much with starting PG's.

True... I am looking to trade up into the late third early 4th to get my point guard. Theres about 5 or 6 guys who would work good with this team. I ont need a pg like rondo or nash who has to set the table perfectly for guys but a pg and good penetration is always important for any offense.

I think Calderon would have been sick on your team. I didnt wanna name drop before, but now that he was taken...I think you messed up by passing on him. Just my 2c though.

I was considering him. Would have taken him if he wasnt the worst defensive pg in the league :lol:

LOJ you can spin it however you want to. Faried is a good player, but he is a bad fit for your team no matter how you try to spin it. IF you want to play him at SF go for it. You cant just assume he will come in with a jump shot next season. Especially when he is such a bad shooter already. You reached on him, and you also reached on Pekovic. Both good players, but both players could have been had 10-13 spots after you selected him. (Maybe less for Pek, but you still could have had a similar C with similar talent)

This is your first BAT, so make your mistakes now. But if those were the two players you really wanted, you should have traded down both times.

Whaaaaaaaat, this coming from a guy who picked Ricky Rubio coming off an ACL tear with his 1st round pick?

Please if you are going to have a legit discussion present facts not just a baseless opinion.

I was just actually comparing stats between Jose and another player. Trying to see in my mind how they would play with My team. I guess you made the choice easy for me, assuming NYstateofmind doesn't take him.

I do have a plan B though That's going to **** the game up :lol:

Marion? hmmm.. I thought he would be a 6th or 7th rounder. Hes a good player though one of the best perimeter defenders in the league

Maybe I am speaking out of turn for Paco but I see him building a mini celtics (real life team). Sessions is his poor mans rondo but he has a great shooting 4 and 5 even better than the real life celtics to spread the floor.

Rondo has no problem getting into the paint because the floor is spaced...i see paco doing the same thing with his team.

Can't compare Bargnani to Garnett on defense and rebounds.

I wasn't talking about defense...but lets not compare bargnani and garentt. He has Horford who is a very good defender and rebounder. He would be his KG. Bargs is a good PF that can space the floor. Paco will go on about his defense (synergy)...but my eyes tell me different :lol:

but going back...sessions makes perfect sense for him

Yea...with the 20th pick in the draft. Was a real easy pick for me especially since Rondo and Irving were both picked. Ill take a 20 yr old top 5 playmaker at the PG position any day of the week at pick #20. I like who you have at PG...Oh wait...you dont even have one...lol. You could offer me Dirk right now for Rubio and i wouldnt even listen to what you had to offer. I WOULDNT EVEN TAKE DIRK AND FARIED FOR RUBIO :lol:

Cant wait to see Dirk play Point forward with Pek and "Manimal" He should have plenty of space to operate :roll:

I mean the fact that you have No pg and 3 big man shouldnt be an issue. Not like its acually important to have a good PG on your team.

Faried should do great as a SF though. No really...the fact that he cant hit a 10 foot jump shot shouldnt hurt him at all. He can just drive to the rim at will all day. Cant wait to see him handling the ball with a SF guarding him, he shouldnt have any issues getting stripped. Matter fact, if our teams went head to head...he would probably **** all over Rudy Gay on offense :lol:

Be real man...You made a foolish pick. I like Faried and he is going to be a solid pro, but he is not a SF.

I miss doing these BAT's!

Great pick NYSOM...I think you have one of the best teams out right now.

My favorite combo's thus far are NYSOM's (JJohnson-Boozer-D12); mpharris (Jrue-Bron-Gortat); and whoever has the (Conley-Durant-Bosh)...though I would have liked to see Tyson Chandler as his selection over Bosh to pair the DPOY with arguably the best offensive option in the game. But he still has time and options to get that coveted defensive big.

I think TEAM building goes largely unnoticed in these competitions by the new guys, but it always seems as if the vets get it right!

I'll be watching as it unfolds!

For right now, that's the plan. I was going to go for a point for this pick, then I thought about it. I could have a guy who can really shoot the ball since Ellis like to have the ball in his hands (He did avg 6 assists this year).

Its great and all that those are your favorite teams...but your talking about guys who had top 5 picks. I think the Durant Bosh team is best overall...Of course guys with the top 5 picks are going to look the best early on. Lets see how it all unfolds though.

(Edit...My last sentence basically copied your last sentence...wasnt even done on purpose lol)
