Punting AST and going hard on bigs.
Thanks, appreciate you doing this.
Oh no, we are allowed to keep up to 5 players. Keeping 5 players uses up your first 5 rounds of picks. I kept Giannis, Lillard, PG, Buddy, and T Bryant. Also, the order in which you pick is based off of last year's finishes, I finished 2nd so I pick second to last every round. I traded Oladipo for PG last year before Oladipo went down, crazy lucky I know. Feels like I'm kind of light on steals with PG out so I used the extra spot from IL to pick up Matisse Thybulle, let's see if he can be RobCov lite haha.
Hey all! I saw the Rate my Team thread all of last year but didn't participate. Figured it would be cool and helpful to do so this year, thanks for any and all advice!

Thanks in advance!
This is a solid roster breakdown. You have an abundance of wings and forwards. Steals look to be strong, and so does ft%. Treys look to be good as well. You have a solid collection of bigs that'll give you a good base with rebs and blocks every week. There's not too much that sticks out as strong or weak though. I assume JV was your fourth pick, and those went good, but after that, it dries up quickly. JRIch wouldn't have been my next target with where you were. Ingles, White, and Looney can contribute to multiple cats and Reddish is looking stronger the more murky Huerters knee situation becomes. You have some good later fliers, though there should be better upside options than Crowder or Bradley out there. As for the trade, I'd probably take my chances and do it. Russell and Lowry are pretty much going within a few picks of each other in drafts, so it's a point of your preference there. Ingram moves the needle a little more due to how deep the league is. He's not the most exciting but that offensive pace will help him get shots up. Russell has the most upside
Agree with the non-ideal start but I like this team and how it ended up. You're going to dominate in blocks. The Beal/Butler/Conley trio is a strong start and you'll need IT to come back ready to go to compliment them to complete your guards. As I mentioned before Blocks is extreme and you have guys who can grab boards and shoot treys. Your steals are strong as well and while you won't win points you have players that can shoot. You should take both defensive stats most every week while competing in treys, boards and ft% (if Whiteside only takes the few he usually does). Turnovers could be another plus with a lot of low usage guys. It's a good base of players with a strong defensive backbone. You can look to move a big to see what's out there since you have so many.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Weekly league? Not a fan. Interesting additions to the stat chart, I don't know how I feel about it though. Let me know how it goes! You can reach me on twitter. Anyway, this is a strong draft and impressive for an auction. You missed a second-round value guy (in relation to a snake) but got a lot of mid-round value. JJJ, Bam, and Bryant are a nice upside filled trio with good defensive potential. You can look to get another with the surplus of awesome guards you have. You are going to crush assists and steals. Having both Ingles and Bam throws even more assists your way giving you the luxury to move any one of the guards without your assists falling off too much. FT% is sure to be strong as well, and threes look to be pretty good (not great though). You'll definitely struggle in boards and fg%, while being ok in blocks. This is a guard-heavy team that is built to go for the stats guards typically get while having the upside of taking blocks.
This is a big-time three-point shooting team that can also make free throws. you can also get steals and score points. Got a few bigs that can grab some boards, but it doesn't look particularly strong and blocks will definitely be among the lowest in the league. This looks like a block punt team and having Curry at the forefront is a good start for that strategy (Whether that was the intent or not). You'll need to snag fg%, assists or turnovers to win each week, but it shouldn't be hard to take at least one since your pretty good in each. This is a good team.
Harden's going to carry any team this year. He's that strong. But I like your team throughout. JJJ at the end of the fourth in a 14 teamer is good value. Satoransky outside the top 100 is another good one. There were good picks throughout and they fit well together. Strong in steals, treys and ft%. Scoring with Booker and Harden gives you a leg up on everyone, and you'll need that with a lot of people who don't score later. 3 Suns may turn out to be annoying on low slate days, but they all look to be in a good position. You have good boards for such a deep league and if Ayton takes a step forward on defense your blocks look good as well. You're pretty well-rounded all throughout and this is one of the stronger teams with the playoffs well in sight and no true weaknesses outside of turnovers.
Haha funny thing, in a deep league I was faced with the same question last week. I went with Bacon at first since he is expected to have a larger role than NAW. Redick still hasn't returned and it'll change his playing time. A few days later I did not like my decision as NAW's upside as a microwave scorer who can shoot treys and get assists looks like a great fit next to Zion. Between the two I'd take the shot with NAW at this moment in time. I eventually picked up PJ Washington earlier this week instead as he looks to be the likely starter at SF and I don't think he loses it. He does a little bit of everything.
Gobert and Drummond is the ultimate 3 cat pairing for bigs. You dominate fg%, boards, and blocks and can fill in the rest throughout. This team is extremely strong all around and for a 12 team nonetheless. Everyone is in an ideal spot to produce value. Siakam at 4, Porter at 7? DeRozan maybe in the 8th? Oubre in the 10th? These would be value picks in a 10 man league. Even Lowry in the 6t. Awesome. Bacon is the only guy on the team that looks out of place, but there will be a ton of options to fill the last spot throughout the year with whatever you need. It would be a huge upset if you missed the playoffs, as you have to be among the select few to win it all. Great job.
Thank you coach!
I'll head your advice and scout the following 1) Washington 2) NAW 3) Bacon
I'll let you know how my team does.
Looks like just 12 picks. For an extra DBL/DBL cat, Kanter is a nice value as the last starter. If he does one thing well it's those two things. kAT is going to be a monster this year. You have a lot of dbl dbl bigs, but not many strong blocks bigs, Tho Cov and Isaac are big helos there. You have a few scoring guys that help in the punting of assists. You're fairly strong in mostly all the cats like you mentioned. You look like a playoff team here it is a strong well-rounded team.
Fantastic group of guards along with two elite shot blockers. Assists, steals, and ft% are the strengths of this team no doubt. And with guys who can shoot threes and the two big blocks guys, you'll be strong in those as well. There are some holds and other teams could still be stronger in a few of those cats with heavier emphasis, but you put yourself in position to push for the playoffs.
In a 10 team standard league, getting trigger happy is the right call. There's so much leftover in free agency that it's easy to fill in the back end of your roster. Ideally, you'd get one of the big guns, but you did well to get a very good top 6. The back end on your squad isn't that exciting and I wonder how much you had left to spend on them all. I'm also lower on Lamb than others and wouldn't target him as my 7th best player. Treys, points, and steals are strong. Ft% will be as well. Nothing else really sticks out. Nothing sticks out as too bad either, but in a 10 man you'd want to shoot for more strengths. Mitch will keep you higher in blocks, but there's not much to help him out when you're facing a team with another elite shot blocker. You can use some help on the boards. Klaw come playoff time is really scary. He's a risky investment as one of the best basketball players on the planet who can be rested at any time with a strong supporting cast that has an eye on winning it all. His games played will be a hard thing to cope with all year and I don't think this team could fare to lose him.
