One Love's Case

Team Philosophy

- Defense first team, plays inside out basketball, 3pt shooters all over the floor

- A team built around the 2 talented & young bigs Davis and Porzingis and dynamic PGs

- Davis and Porzingis positions are inter-changeable depending on defensive match-ups

- Plenty of spacing with ALL PLAYERS on the team being able to shoot 3's at a high rate

- All players are above average defenders, with Anthony Davis, Porzingis, Ariza, Matthews and Ibaka being elite defenders for their positions









 
OL put together a crazy team. Very tough to beat.
 
I have a hard time judging OLs team simply because I passed on KP due to injury so how can I give him credit for having him in his starting line up?

NY Times said he could be back by Christmas, playoffs is another 4 months from that. He'll be plenty fit by then IMO.

I passed on him for this very reason. And I also didn’t take him because the voters hate me and would’ve been more inclined to hold that over my head. Not whining just stating fact.
 
I like ellis team other than the fact that no one in his starting lineup is considered a good shooter.
 
Congrats @ONE LOVE. I was a little surprised it wasn’t a bit closer, but I didn’t really expect to get out of the 2nd round regardless of who I came up against.

I probably should’ve gone with Kuzma and Saric over Adams and Whiteside, but I was on a cruise without internet access for the first half of the draft, so I didn’t have the luxury of really adjusting once I on the clock. Just had to send out my proxy lists to WC and hope for the best.

Good luck to everyone who advances - it was still a lot of fun.

Thanks Ellis. How was the cruise? We've had you making picks waiting for your wife delivering a baby and now we've got you making picks on a cruise, you're a legend!

No babies (thank heavens) - my youngest is turning 16 soon. I think she was in the hospital with a kidney stone that was so bad it required surgery.

The cruise was great. Took a week long trip up to Alaska over the summer. Thoroughly enjoyed the time off from teaching and coaching. It was nice to decompress a bit.

Yes they do. My oldest heads off to college here in a couple of weeks. That one is a real kick in the nuts. Can’t believe she’s done with high school and a legal adult now.
