I'm between two teams right now....tough call...

[Orangeish]

lol first vote breaks the dont vote for your own team rule, nice, Davy

[jimboburnsy]

This is an impossible question, but the logarithm in my head says that Nash/Bryant/Nowitski is a combination that works particularly well.

[rigas]

Really Davy? Come on man!

[Roman77]

Wasn't it made clear to NOT vote for your own team?

[Mathguy]

Ok, I have intentionally not even glanced into the draft thread, I have zero clue who has what team...here are my comments:

Team A: You have a lot of good young players whom have not yet reached their full potential. CP is the anchor of that squad and brings great all around play. Carmelo is talented but streaky. Good young bench. I like your team, they just aren't fully developed yet.

Team B: A good squad with solid scoring options that has some tough defenders and some stellar bench depth. I'd start Chandler instead of Javale ESPECIALLY to help cover Love's defensive short comings which Lebron can help somewhat with. Chandler also knows his role when surrounded by plenty of scoring. Williams is an excellent PG at both ends of the court.

Team C: Pierce-Rose-Wade, what's not to like? Unfortunately, your teams hard chocolate exterior has a soft creamy middle which is great in a candy but bad for a basketball team. Your guards can score from anywhere but your 2 best players are at their best driving and that can gum things up. Other than being soft in the paint your team is beastly.

Team D: Solid starting 5 and a guy like Ray Allen will help spread the floor for Durant etc. Bynum knows how to be effective in a supporting role, Bosh, Rondo are very good as well...especially since rondo doesn't have to score much and may be the best defensive PG in the league. Bench is nasty with Parker, Perkins and Duncan plus marion and jefferson.

Team E: I love your players, I question your line-up. Kobe and Dirk are 55+ a night. Dirk is a decent defender at this stage...Iguodala is a noted defender and Kobe is top notch. Nash is one of the worst defensive PG's in the league and your best defensive big man whom you will need as people blow by Nash is....on the bench AND in any even is better than your starting center. You don't need Nash for offense, put in Jennings and Noah and let Kobe and Dirk eat peoples lunch. Use Nash to run your reserves and to spread the court especially in late period possessions where his defense can't be exploited.

Team F: Strong defensive team, well rounded. I'm concerned that you do not have a *beast* go-to scorer like other teams have in a Durant, Kobe etc. although Dwight will pummel everyone else in the paint. What concerns me is that Westbrook tends to chuck up shots on occasion and with that line-up might forget to distribute as he may consider himself the best scorer. Don't get me wrong, you have a ton of >20ppg capable guys (heck you have several on your bench too)...I'm just asking where you go down 2 pts with 15 seconds on the clock? However, everybody has scoring and you have the best D.

With all this said:

I will vote for...Team D. Team F gets honorable mention and IMO has the best defense, tough decision.

P.S. I can guess whom Team F is....and if I'm right I voted him #1 in the last of these competitions as he a defensive oriented fan too.

[Davy-040]

I'm not voting for my own team, i'm voting for Team A.

[Roman77]

Ok, let's walk through this. Davy, the idea of this vote ( which has been clearly stated) is to not vote for the team that you personally assembled. If everyone votes for their own squad, that kind of kills the point of this exercise, doesn't it?

[Roman77]

Tried to rep you for the breakdown Math, got the 'must spread around' thingy.....
