Do you need a SuperStar?

I don't need one, but they sure are fun.

I usually start with a bad team and build and develop talent and then sign a star as a capper, but I started a Fantasy draft and have Lebron James and he is so fun to play with.

My starting lineup is:
1. Russell Westbrook
2. Reggie Miller (historic players in fantasy draft)
3. Lebron James
4. Kevin Love
5. Tyson Chandler/Marcin Gortat

It all depends on who you're playing as. If you're playing as a team you're unfamiliar with, a Superstar always helps because you usually know how he plays, and he can usually drain shots/get easy assists.

When you're playing with a team you're comfortable with that's not an issue though. I'm playing as the Raptors in Association and I'm currently 52-12. I don't have any real superstars (Bargnani doesn't count), but I know that Derozan and Weems are good at driving, Calderon is an excellent passer, Barbosa is a beast on the fast break, and Bargnani is lights out from mid-range.

My Starting Line-up is:
PG - Jose Calderon
SG - Leandro Barbosa (I'll switch him with Derozan though)
SF - Sonny Weems
PF - Amir Johnson
C - Andrea Bargnani

It's also helpful if you look at player's stats from the main menu. If you want to play as say the Bulls, but don't know how to play well as them, then look at their stats and see individual strengths, that'll tell you how to play them.

I play with the Cavs although i traded for OJ Mayo because i thought he would be perfect for me. The rest of the roster is quite crappy but i run easy plays and screens and i get good looks for my crappy players and OJ scores of isos and i manage well. Though my defense is just horrible.

It's good to have that one player you can rely on in a tight game.
