Can someone update the teams on the first page?

Can't edit posts after a certain time, has to be a mod

You're right. Forgot about that silly rule.

[SouBeachTalents]

Joe Dumars

[AlternativeAcc.]

Derrick White. Celtics best player.

[dankok8]

Just realized he's still available..

Give me Doctor J

Dude can come in as a scorer off the bench, run the offense and he's a major disruptor on defense. One of the best non-big shotblockers ever. Definitely better than many starters on other squads.

You now have 4 players who are absolute ZEROS from 3 in your rotation, that is a pretty big math problem. You're going to have lineups with THREE non-shooters on the floor between Kareem, McHale, Dr. J and Mourning, the spacing will be a disaster.

Mutombo & OG Anunoby

Final roster

C - Embiid | Mutombo
F - Draymond
F - Kawhi | KD
G - Booker | OG Anunoby
G - Stockton

Think I did well considering I had the last pick. Have a few elite scorers. A couple of playmakers. Roster is stacked with shooters and defenders.

is middleton still on the board? Khris Middleton

You guys should determine the winner with three votes:

1) ISH
2) RealGM
3) Someone using 2K to make all the teams and simulate them together in a playoff series or regular season. No injuries.

Real GM to decide it is a great idea

Basketball is more complicated than how many three-point shooters you have on the floor. I don't know how many times I need to repeat this to you over the years.

Especially with super teams. I feel like the main reason today's teams score more is because the role players can bang 3s instead of long 2s with leads to higher offensive output and gives additional spacing to star talent. But when it comes to these super teams, all of that kind of flies out the window.

The 2008 Redeem team didn't have a great 3pt shooting starting lineup. Yet they totally outscored the 2024 team in the championship matches who did. And ironically, they had a Kobe Chris Paul backcourt that apparently "can't shoot". (total joke)

Stars spamming 3s is honestly kind of stupid unless they're steph curry or Durant or something, and even then you're opening yourself up to a ton of variance. Hot and cold... we see it with Tatum types and a lot of other players even Curry himself. Having a team full of superstar 2pt bucket getters is always going to be a sure thing.

Basketball is more than "how many three points shooters you have", but having them in today's era keeps defenders honest. In today's league if you run any line-up that lack shooters defenses will exploit that, they will just key in on the star players without facing much consequences. And with all due respect to ISB, he ran a Shaq-Russell lineup in one of our previous drafts. I pointed out to him that having Russell play the 4 takes away some of his rim protection and it makes life harder for Shaq on offense since teams could zero in on Shaq since Russell wouldn't provide you any spacing. After the draft, when we ran the poll on realgm multiple users pointed out the same thing when evaluating his team.

DISMAL drafting by ISB, yikes. And he has the nerve to lecture me Bro would get blown off the floor by some of the teams drafted here with that kind of spacing
