The 2014 Offseason playoffs fantasy all time draft

Izak you can grade my team if you have time

 

Do mine first hurry!

 

Dfb....I sent you one last question via email

 

PG: Isaiah Thomas
SG: Thabo Sefolosha
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Paul Milsap
C: Al Jefferson

Bench:
Michael Carter-Williams
Marvin Gortat???

Spoiler

Thabo feels out of place on this team, only because his scoring & shooting percentages plummeted this season...if he could hit his 3's at that 40% mark again! then he's gravy! He still provides arguably some of the best defence at that position, which is needed when your point guard is 5'9" Isaiah Thomas.

Thomas can score and has a good ability to get the ball to the right person at the right time, on a team with Durant & Milsap on the perimeter, that is a big plus.

Durant is MVP & my favorite player outside of Houston... 'NUFF SAID!

I was never into the Millsap hype, but after seeing his heart & hustle playing for the Hawks I'm slowly coming around. He is getting better at knocking down the 3 and on this squad will give that spacing for Durant to drive and Big Al to operate down low. His height is still a concern, and he can still get abused by bigger, stronger power forwards...like David West did in the playoffs.

Big Al was a beast down low, good enough to lead the Bobcats into the playoffs. His ability to draw a double on the block will give ample opportunities for his teammates to knock down open 3's...if he's not doubled he will usually score.

The frontcourt is the strength of this team, the backcourt while good, is not great...but could work.

Any team with Durant is instantly a contender...but this team needs that 3 point marksman to really give it more of an advantage.

I like the bench additions of Rookie MCW & Marvin Gaye...

Bench needs: 3 & D wing, Korver type gunner.

Who had the glorious idea to only show the 7th round God damnit, gotta go back like 15 pages to see the whole draft.

 

Markieff Morris.

 

nice pick

 

Surprised he hadn't been picked yet.

 

I will do it

 

I'm a no

 

Izak if you have any spare time I would love to hear your thoughts

 

Pg Russell Westbrook
Sg Trevor Ariza
Sf Nicolas Batum
Pf David West
C Andre Drummond

Bench:
Brandon Knight
Gerald Green

I really like this sqaud. You have two quality point guards, a two way player in Batum, the low block Beasts David West and Drummond to go along with Gerald Green and Ariza.

I would start Green instead of Ariza for that run & gun effect, but Ariza's defence will be a big help on the perimeter...I'm just not a big fan of Ariza.

Westbrook can be All-World one game and All-What the Heck in the next, but there is no denying that he is a top tier point guard, and a force to be reckoned with. I don't like him, but love his game. He can hit the three, plays D, takes it to the rack & rebounds...a true all round player.

Ariza plays D & can hit the 3 at 40%, he can disappear at times! but as long as he can D up, you can live with that.

Batum is as inconsistent as they come, but can light it up when he wants. The Notorious Nut Puncher plays excellent defence and can get out on the break.

I love West. He is as old school as they come. Can play the post & hit that mid range jumper consistently. The Pacers are in the ECF because of his play & leadership.

Drummond...what's not to like, apart from his free throw shooting?
He runs the floor, grabs rebounds, blocks shots and finishes on the break.

Having two starting caliber players on the bench is awesome. Brandon Knight and Gerald Green are both exciting players.

The only drawback on offence would be getting bogged down in a half court game...apart from West, the rest of this team is suited for a run'n'gun style of play. I can see half court pick'n'roll with Drummond & Westbrook / Knight or pick'n' pop with West. West posting up then kicking out to his 3 point shooters, or Russelll with his drive & dish.

Defensively this team is very, very good...but I can see long offensive droughts due to the inconsistency of Ariza & Batum, and a few chemistry problems. Ariza looks so out of place at SG on this team.


Offence: B-
Defence: A+
Chemistry: C+

Outside Scoring: B-

I'll do the other evaluations after dinner...feel free to critique my assessments if y'all like. They're not super in depth, but as close to accurate as I possibly can make it.

I just had some spare time. God Bless.

 

I kind of forgot about Avery Bradley this year to be honest. I think Conley just had a huge offensive burden this year. No Marc Gasol. Z-Bo declining. No other perimeter creator on the team. I think he still does a fantastic job defensively. It's similar to CP3 where they only have a certain amount of energy and they have to balance it out. I have Conley slightly higher because CP3 is a little slower after all of his knee problems.

 

I think I have the best defense in the draft

 

Thanks for the insight bro. Haha Marvin is a inoocent spelling mistake.

I believe my team chemistry should be rated higher since Durant and thabo is teammates and Paul and big al was teammates in Utah. Thanks again

 

The man.

 

Really liking the analysis. Curious what you think about my team izak.


Also, don't worry about it Spooner. I did think the trade offer was a little insulting but it's all good! My reply was definitely overboard as well.
