Could be an alternative to Banchero for entry into Orlando’s opening fixtures, although I feel like I say this every season. :ROFLMAO:

Thanks mate, likewise to you! 🍻

The one pick I loathe is the Jarrett Allen pick. I'm kicking myself because Claxton was available, just don't understand how I missed that. But ah well.

And yeah definitely, I can see the hype with Coulibaly, the kid has a high motor. We have a lot riding on Wizards' ability to not make aimless decisions this year, the dream starter lineup is Tyus, Poole, Coulibaly, Kuzma and Gafford. All the best to us both 😅

I just ran your team through Basketball Monster's analyser and I do agree Claxton would've been pretty nice. Punting FT% anyway and his extra blocks would've made you more competitive. It's fine though, you'll be able to stream steals and 3s which is so ideal for 9-cat so I would say you're looking good!

I picked up Tyus at pick 80 which I think is pretty great value. Poole will have the green light to chuck up shots this year and hopefully Tyus is the beneficiary assists-wise. I think when Ja was suspended/injured, Tyus averaged 16/4/8 with 1.8 steals as a starter this year. Don't think he'll get close to those numbers but certainly will benefit from more minutes and no Monte Morris as starting PG anymore.

I also grabbed Bey as my second last pick, but I'm not sure who the Hawks are going to start. Any ideas of who is likelier to start over Johnson/Griffin/Bey?

If you fancy winning some cash then fanteam do a season game.
£10 to enter (19.16 AUS)
Current 1st prize is (4488 AUS)
Different kind of rules where a players best score of the week counts only so
it does not really matter too much on number of games.

Glad BBM analysis validates what I was going for, appreciate you running it through. I haven't had the chance to do it myself so that boosts my confidence!

You're spot on with Tyus, he'll be among the 10 top breakouts this year in my opinion, depending on Washington's competitiveness and whether they form and mesh. Gonna be interesting. Bey I'm not sure how ATL rates him, definitely a flier pick for now until we can get a better understanding of Snyder's version of the Hawks. I personally like Griffin's game more. To me it's clear Bey starts, for now. Griffin and Jalen J have higher ceilings, so it's only a matter of time.

No worries. Your team is looking good.

I'm currently checking out the Wizards game right now and Poole's usage is over 40%. I'm not sure if this will be a recurring trend over the year or if it will drop to low-mid 30s, but doesn't bode well for a guy like Tyus who also needs some ball-handling duties.

Also, yep, I think Bey will start but I'm keeping a close eye on Johnson so I can do a 1:1 swap with them by dropping Bey.

Change a few on field players and I'm pretty sure that I could make this structure work .....

PM me for some suggestions ... not saying that I agree with it but reckon that I could make it even better/stronger ...

Is anyone considering Kuminga?

He's kind of my 3rd fave PF and Green is questionable for Phoenix. I'm just unlikely to pay up in that spot with the 2 cheapies on the table to begin.

Has 4 vs Wemby and Chet with 3 in Rd 2.

Has been solid in the preseason. What does it translate to when Green comes back is the question.
