I really like it on defense, but Ty and Al have a lot of weight on their shoulders on offense. (Also Crawford)

Simply put, if Kobe's magic pills...oops....I meant, magic, special procedure on his Achilles tendon, gets him back to being Kobe Bryant early in the season or from the start of the season, this is one of the best 2-3 teams in this draft.

I wanted to comment on this, but wasn't sure what happened with Webster (I saw him on Denver, and was confused).

George Hill is a great PG next to Kobe, I love it.  So much so, that I had them together in the pick2 draft.  These two really should work well together.  Hill is a above average 3pt shooter and solid defender.  This seems to be the mold, if you wanna play next to Kobe.

Love the Asik/Millsap front court.  Asik will provide the defense, and Millsap can rebound and provide the offensive spacing with his midrange game necessary to allow Kobe to do his work.  Collison really rounds out the front court well, he's just an all around solid player.

Not so sure what to think of MWP/VC/Amare.  Yuck, is the best I can say.  Amare probaly won't hurt you, as your front court is already stout, even without him.  Having MWP starting at SF, with VC backing up Kobe and Metta isn't something I'm too fond of though.

This really could be a legit title contender if it wasn't for the unknown situation regarding Kobe's health.  The overall fit seems good, despite some of my concerns, but it all really comes back to Kobe.  Unfortunately, you won't have the benefit of time on your side.  I have to imagine most will view his uncertainty as a negative, and it will ultimately hold you back.

Thanks fitz, TP.  Looking at your squad, I like the backcourt combo of Parker and Gordon, but I think you should've considered an impact big instead of Brandon Knight. 

I like Knight more than most but your front line, while strong defensively and on the boards, is really gonna struggle to get buckets.  TP and Gordon are going to bear a lot of the burden, and Knight is too small to work with them in a 3 guard setup.  Teams are gonna clamp down hard on your backcourt if your bigs can't consistently make them pay.

[fairweatherfan]

KGK: TP for the analysis.  I did crib the Hill/Kobe backcourt from your Brooklyn Pick-2 squad.  The 3 is my soft spot (I traded Webster to Yoki) but VC and MWP between them make a good counter to most kinds of lineups, with MWP able to match up with smaller 4s and VC playing the 2/3 bench scorer role he was effective in with the Mavs.  And it never hurts to have a crazy guy with title experience next to Kobe.

Returning the favor, you've got one of the best 1-3 setups out there.  And Anderson is no slouch at 4, while Mek anchors the D.  But you've got a huge deficit of backup bigs.  I'd recommend looking for quality bigs with at least your next 2 picks, just to have the flexibility to match up with the different lineups you'll see.  If voters think another team's size will overwhelm you it'll be hard to talk them out of it without an option off the bench. Definite playoff team and possible contender depending how things play out.

Wondering what people think after todays draft day.

PG: Rondo/Hinrich
SG: Martin/(Hinrich)
SF: DWilliams/Harkless
PF: Sanders/Bargnani
C:  Lopez/(Sanders)

Missed you picking up Bargnani. That's a nice 3-man big rotation you've got there. Plenty of offense and enough defense. Hinrich knows how to be effective starting or coming off the bench (he did it in Chicago), so he's an excellent pickup. Martin and Rondo is an intriguing starting 1-2. I could see them working well together.

Not completely sold on Derrick Williams at the 3. That'd be my only complaint. Maybe add another defensive specialist in the backcourt.

TP back at ya FWF.

Yeah, I'm more than well aware my front court still needs work.  I was really hoping to address it in round 6, but when I made my list, I just couldn't put some of the available bigs ahead of the swing men who fit the mold of 6th man.

I just absolutely love what Ariza will do to complement my starting 1-3.  And yes, I fully plan on making other teams pay for not being as stout in this area.  Normally, I also like to have a solid stable of bigs, but picking in the middle of the draft has been difficult.  You basically have to choose one or the other.

I ain't scared to be a bit "different".

Your team is extremely versatile, fwf. I'm a big fan. You are, of course, at a big risk injury/performance-wise with your exposure to stoudemire, kobe, mwp, and aging vince carter. If things go right for you, you are a force to be reckoned with. Worst case, I think you are a still a fringe playoff team.

This team is quality from top to bottom, but you'll need to keep it up in the late rounds. You need a solid two-way guy on the wing and a competent, versatile big. No one is going to "carry" this team, so you need every one of these players doing what they do to be a contender.

SG: Martin/(Hinrich)
SF: DWilliams/Harkless
PF: Sanders/Bargnani

Solid team but concerns on the SF spot.

Derrick Williams is still considered a tweener and has not shown that he can be a three, so I think I'd rather start Harkless.

I mean no disrespect as well but outside of Rondo and Sanders, this is nota very good defensive team. Problem is, there's not a ton of firepower as well to offset that.

I think this is the best defensive team in the league. Your next two rotation players are going to be critical. I think there are some shooters and/or crazy creator types on the board that could do the job
