    It's the first round of the All NBA Draft Part 2! For this draft we used a $75 million hard cap. Production estimates for each player are based on their 2010-2011 seasons. All players are considered to be healthy, but age, accumulation of injuries, or serious injuries are accounted for. So, for example, Greg Oden is to be considered healthy but his injury history is to be respected.

    This matchup pits Sydeffect vs RocketsRed14

    Sydeffect
    PG:Ty Lawson/JJ Barea/Aaron Brooks
    SG:OJ Mayo/Marcus Thornton
    SF: Rudy Gay/C.J. Miles
    PF: Dirk Nowitzki/Kris Humphries
    C: Andrew Bynum/Nazr Mohammad/Zydrunas Ilgauskas

    RocketsRed14
    Pg - Jrue Holiday / Jameer Nelson
    Sg - Manu Ginobili / John Salmons / Anthony Parker
    Sf - Dorell Wright / Thabo Sefolosha
    Pf - Zach Randolph / Jason Thompson / Andrea Bargnani
    C - Marc Gasol / Darko Milicic

    Lawson < holiday
    Mayo < Ginobili
    Gay > Wright
    Nowitzki > Randolph
    Bynum < Gasol

    I win 3 out of the 5 match ups with Randolph not being that far behind Nowitzki

    I've got good defense mixed with amazing scoring abilities, proven chemistry with a frontcourt of gasol and Randolph who basically led their team to a 2nd round playoff appearance and a game 7.

    -Holiday can shoot 3's and run the pick and roll. Plays defense.
    -Ginobili can create shots, get to the line, and slash to the basket. Plays defense.
    -Wright is an amazing 3 point shooter, can run the floor, and finish around the basket. Not a defensive liability and has size and length to bother shots.
    -Randolph is a beast who can rebound and score from outside the paint to spread the floor and has post moves. Can defend
    -Gasol has nice post moves and can finish around the rim. Great rebounder and solid defender.

    My bench also beats his. Thabo can come off the bench and defend rudy gay. Randolph would be playing the same amount of minutes as Nowitzki so bargnani can come off the bench without having to worry about defending him.

    I think this year's playoffs showed that Nowitzki is pretty far ahead of Randolph.

    Close matchup but Gay/Nowitski is better than Manu/Randolph.

    Sorry... I don't think Gasol is better than a healthy Bynum.

    Both of you guys built great teams, but I'm going with Sydeffect.

    But he's not healthy. He's one of the most injury proned players in the NBA. Yes, he will play, but he will most likely play limited mintues. He averaged 24 minutes per game in his career and last season 27 min
