Build a Team 17.0 Discussion Thread #3 (NBA Champion will be announced Thursday 7PM)

[Smash3]

There are some hilarious teams though:

JustCame after winning the BAT as a rookie, is going for another record: worst defense ever built in BAT

Hoffa: That team is going nowhere fast, Derrick Rose and Draymond in the same lockerrom? Can´t wait until Drose takes some days off because he´s feeling homesick

Ctorres: Building around Durant as the main cog, like we just didn´t see this dude take his rat whiskers over to a stacked team because he can´t carry the load on his own

LJ: How many active players does he have?

but you're building around paul george, like he's been to the finals before

How are you going to sidestep:



We have two franchise players. We have a team of competitors, this is a no rat zone.

- idk what mpharris is doing with that PF/C duo.

destryoing your front line

Nance would have KP on clamps, and I can move Jabari to the 4 and exploit KP creating plays off the dribble.

Kemba would torch that back line.

ok...

you come at me out of nowhere and then tell me that Larry freakin Nance is going put clamps on KP....Nance isn't even a good defender bro

Nance is actually quite a good defender and the reason why I selected him with a DPRM 2.1 and a lot of Laker fans want him to start over Randle for his defense. People that view Nance as striclty a dunker don't have a sense of awareness of his game. He's not a skill player either, just a hustle/more athletic Amir Johnson type.

I called out like 8 people, not just you, don't feel bad.

[mpharris36]

yeah he's so good he allows people to shoot over 3% there average when he defends them.

He is closer to Jokic bad defensively than a good defender my man...at least I can admit it when my player isn't a good defensive player.

All the east coast teams are equipped with:



Two sprays and you stop DuRat in his tracks

[NewEra]

Brook Lopez gets absolutely no love around here lol damn. He's not even a bad player.

Prove it MP. You the stats wizard.

[mpharris36]

someone using Larry Nance's DRPM at 1.46 when David Lee and Nikola Mirotic are 1.48...maybe the stat isn't as valuable as you may think.

So now lets argue David Lee and Nikola Mirotic are good defenders...i'll wait

[Mecca]

That's a deceptive stat that I can name a bunch of Eddy Currys that have excellent DRTGs. DPRM favors Nance quite a bit, and a trip the Lakers forum will vouch for me, from fans that watch every Laker game.

Mecca not sure if want to take it to MP on the stats bro...

how is my stat deceptive when it relies on just the individual player...when your stat suggests kevin love, david lee, and nikoli mirotic are top 15 defensive players at there position?

Take one trip to Lakersground.net forums and look around to what they say of Nance's defense.

Slowmo is in the top 20 of DRTG. Is he all of a sudden Bruce Bowen? Neither stat can be used as a fact of determining defense.

[magnumt]

Brook Lopez gets absolutely no love around here lol damn. He's not even a bad player.

TBH, I always valued his brother (Robin) more than Brook. I just like what Robin brings to a team more than Brook.

Because that stat has David Lee as a top 15 player at his position in DRTG as well. Also has Hermangomez as being a very good defender when we can all admit he's pretty lost at times.

You can't use one premise to a logic then disregard the same premise in your argument.

[Mecca]

Mpharris was trying to sell KP is a very good defender when he has THE SAME DRTG as Larry Nance Jr. Lets let that settle for a second.

but you're building around paul george, like he's been to the finals before

How are you going to sidestep:



We have two franchise players. We have a team of competitors, this is a no rat zone.

bruh u got a washed up ginobli starting for you, and nerlens noel who hasn't proved himself yet.
everyone here is sleeping on teague, dude is averaging 16 pts and 10 assists in the past 10 games.
durant > george
tyler johnson has been a solid player for the heat, averaging 14
david lee can still ball (as we've seen him starting now with the spurs)
and we have mason plumlee, one of the best passing bigs in the league
i like lowry but i dont trust him in the playoffs
our team will FEAST on urs

Yea he has more "grit" and is a better defender, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Brook is as consistent as they come offensively.
