Rate Fantasy Drafts Thread

Post any fantasy teams you would like others to rate. Got tired of seeing all these individual "rate my team threads".

Re: Rate Fantasy Drafts Thread

Started this one and only play it with my brother, we're the Spurs. Made like 3 or 4 trades to get this team right, but here it is now.

PG: Steve Nash
SG: Mike Miller
SF: LeBron James
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Dwight Howard

Bench:

PG: Goran Dragic
SG: Thabo Sefolosha
SG: J.J. Reddick
C: Brendan Haywood
C: Erick Dampier

I forget the other 2 guys I have on my team, but they're scrubs that I barely ever play anyways. The team is 13-1 right now and is working great.

Re: Rate Fantasy Drafts Thread

Man, I don't know how you got Lebron, Nash and Dwight on the same team (not to mention KG). Are you sure you started a fantasy draft?? haha anyways, you should be ashamed for even losing one game

Anyways, here's my team:
Nash (took me about half the season to learn to really use him, but now he's deadly off a pick or any tiny opening for his jumper)
Ginobili (I still haven't been able to find a real good way to use him offensively. I keep him around for his D and rebounding. Anyone have any ideas for how to get him going offensively??)
Ariza (Decent defender, good rebounder, great athleticism, weakness is his jumper)
Scola
Marc Gasol (Basically any team that wants to start some scrub defender at PF or C is gonna get posted up consistently by Gasol or Scola)

Bench:
Dalembert (solid D, great rebounding, but horrible offense)
J. Jack (I traded for him midseason, I really like the change of pace he gives me compared to Nash)
Balkman (love this guy... great defender, good rebounder and good athleticism. Can even hit a nice mid range J if u get him going, and more importantly can defend a lot of PF's)
Afflalo (good D, cant get his 3pointer to go down though for some reason)
Frye (Don't use him much when my other bigs are healthy, but he gives some nice 3pt shooting and blocking ability)
Bobby Simmons
Quinton Ross
Greivis Vasquez (in D league... hopefully can come up to play backup PG in a year or 2)

So my team is 14-13 with 2 games left in a 29 game season, all star difficulty, 12 min quarters. I've played every game so far this season and its been crazy fun. Had to dig myself out of a hole early in the season as I was learning how to use the team effectively. Now I'm right on the cusp of making the playoffs with 2 games left. This is definitely drafted to be a win-now team, so waiting for next year to make the playoffs is unacceptable.

Re: Rate Fantasy Drafts Thread

Just made this one:

PG Mo Williams- Splits time w/ Joe Johnson handling the ball. Good shooter and can be counted on for 15+ points a game.
SG Joe Johnson- Part time point guard, and I really like playing w/ him.
SF Mickael Pietrus- He's in the starting line-up for defense, splits time w/ Damion James.
PF Pau Gasol- Great post player, and can pass surprisingly well.
C Marcus Camby/Javale Mcgee- Split time almost evenly. McGee is for the future, and Camby can rebound and play defense.

Bench:
Thabo Sefalosha- Another solid perimeter defender
JJ Barea- Solid backup PG
Zydrunas Ilgauskas- Nice change of pace from McGee/Camby
Damion James
Udonis Haslem
And I forgot the other people.


How do you think this team will do?

Damn! That's a good team! You might want to get a real center, but the team's good enough that it doesn't really matter.

start Afflalo at the 2, work on your timing with his jumpshot, Ginobili and Nash don't exactly complement each other well at least in my opinion because ginobili is at his best either in iso's or pick n roll's, anyways if you use Manu as your 6th man he can play the 1, 2, or 3 really, your pick and roll game with nash/manu and scola should be DEADLY, with afflalo shooting 3's when the defense collapses

i like it... you've got good shooters at all perimeter positions, a very good perimeter playmaker and a very good post playmaker, as well as a very good inside defender and very good perimeter defender... got some real solid guys coming off the bench, i like this team

Marcin Gortat

Any given night, this team could be explosive offensively. With Felton, Matthews, Durant, and Dragic, you can REALLY get out and run the floor too and try to get some transition points. Gortat (and to some degree Blatche, who I just can't stand though) will give you much needed Center depth. Also, really young team. With some smart contract management, this could be a great team for a long time.


Here's the team I drafted today from my friend and I's 2 team Association:

Starters
PG - Kirk Hinrich
SG - Wes Matthews
SF - Rudy Gay
PF - Lamar Odom
C - Kevin Love

Bench
Troy Murphy
Ronnie Turiaf
Dante Cunningham
Francisco Garcia
Thabo Sefolosha
Garrett Temple
Toney Douglas

I knew I had a small front court and wanted to have some depth there, so Murphy helps out there, and Turiaf gives me a strong central defender. I picked up Sefolosha/Garcia to work as a combo - Garcia when i need some scoring off the bench and Sef when I need some D. Douglas plays the backup point, and sometimes comes in to get Hinrich time at the 2. Temple was just a cool opportunity, 6'6' great defensive young guard? Yes please. He and Thabo should be able to make life difficult for any back court.

Re: Rate Fantasy Drafts Thread

My Mavs fantasy team:

PG - Derrick Rose/Derek Fisher
SG - Leandro Barbosa/Arron Afflalo
SF - Ron Artest/Damion James
PF - David Lee/Dante Cunningham
C - Luis Scola/Chuck Hayes

Yeah, I think I have a good team. I'm doing a 29 game schedule with them. Currently 1-2 and about to play Kobe and the Heat.

Thanks for the feedback. I think you're right that Nash and Ginobili dont really go together very well. Unfortunately starting Afflalo really doesn't sound like an option to me... I'd rather start Jack at SG. Afflalo just doesn't give me the offensive options (not to mention the D) that would warrant him playing much more time over any of my wings other than Ross or Simmons. And honestly I just like Balkman too much to give Ginobili many minutes at the 3. Playing him more at the 1 does sound like an intriguing idea though...

Starters
PG - Kirk Hinrich
SG - Wes Matthews
SF - Rudy Gay
PF - Lamar Odom
C - Kevin Love

Bench
Troy Murphy
Ronnie Turiaf
Dante Cunningham
Francisco Garcia
Thabo Sefolosha
Garrett Temple
Toney Douglas

Really like this team other than the lack of a true PG or C. Though, to a certain degree Odom (and occasionally Turiaf) should be able to provide some quality low post D. Also, to a certain degree aren't Murphy and Love kinda redundant. By that I mean their strengths and weaknesses are pretty much the same.

PG - Derrick Rose/Derek Fisher
SG - Leandro Barbosa/Arron Afflalo
SF - Ron Artest/Damion James
PF - David Lee/Dante Cunningham
C - Luis Scola/Chuck Hayes

Again a good team, but lacking a true 5. Especially with Hayes' height and Lee's defensive inability I think you're gonna get beat down low.

I think on my teams I really emphasize the low post a lot. Haha probably comes from so many years of being a Golden State Warriors fan
