    my lineup is obviously:

    c) Wilt pf) Hayes sf) Pippen and g) J_West

    but who would you start at other guard spot between d.rose, dennis johnson, and vince carter?

    I think you can trade AI for vincE carter or mcgrady. I mean, they will post up iverson evry play if you have that line up

    Not just lack of size, but if your best three point shooter is Iverson...fallen should have picked Stojakovic instead of Tomjanovich, then trade Rodman/Mutombo for perimeter player.

    Do you realize you can easily be doubled on low block or even better zoned? I would give wide open threes anybody on your team all game long.

    Trade Rodman, he's got great value, you can get big time shooter with trading him and also little better bench.

    Can't believe nobody picked Mo Cheeks for backup point guard. Great personality for backup, matchup nightmare on defence, very smart and efficent player on offense - shot 52% FG in career and turnovered just a little more than 2 ball a game. If draft had 10 rounds, I would definitely draft him with my next pick.

    It's between him and rondo.. But rondo's passing ability convinced me more

    Does whatif take into account defensive strategies like that?

    I don't think whatif count anything defensively, it's based on numbers, you can number defence, so Rodman and Mutombo would be pretty much useless that's why I think we shouldn't use whatif. 50% neutral judges and 50% voting would be best in my mind.

    Why dont you start manu instead of durant or worthy? Durant will have trouble guarding quick sg's

    Dekes defense shows in his numbers. Everyone was saying we're doing whatif, so I've been building a team based on that.

    Durant guarded SG's all rookie season, when he played all rookie season on SG position. I don't think that's a problem, you always see bigger defenders on small guys like Thabo Sefolosha on Parker, or Lebron on Rose last year. It's actually more effective. I would probably put Worthy defending SG's anyway, he is little quicker and slighty better defender on ball defender.

    My point is, you can't value defence based on numbers. Durant average more blocks than Lebron and Jordan, that doesn't mean he is better defender. And it was said 33% whatif, 33% polls and 33% judges.

    iirc, whatif uses advanced defensive metrics. Not perfect but they do help

    Also Rodman's rebounding is awesome.
