People are looking at this as the All time draft.. Kidd and shumpert suckass this season.. My starting lineup are not average defenders, they play excellent defense all through the regular season.. And George Hill, Teague < kidd, wall??? who played well in the second balf of the season)? You gotta be kidding me
A Kidd-Shumpert backcourt shouldn't advance out of the first round, feel you. I'm out of these drafts for a while, the judging is pretty suspect and you don't feel rewarded for smart drafting.
It's the same when half of the people here scream “LeBron team will win.“ in the first round of drafting. The guy has Wade+Bosh and only won one ring his whole career this far. Of course he's gonna win if you only look at one name and give it an auto-win, but this is a f...in team sport.
Horry-His second best player is Barkley, Jamer's second best is Horford. Lebron cancels out Jordan for the most part. I assume Wall gets most of the minutes instead of Kidd. Jamers has the slightly better bench because I love Splitter but I gotta go with Horry because of Barkley. Close matchup. JMC-KG can't guard Moses effectively. Paul George can limit Bird. This is a good matchup for JMC so he wins despite his terrible bench. RedNation-This is mostly a battle between Wilt and Kareem, but Red has a much better bench. Duncan can guard Griffin well. Melo can handle the outside scoring. In the end Donatas may have a slight edge with his starters but once they get tired I think RedNation's bench will make up for it.
If Kidd was truly taking most of the minutes, I would agree with you. But John Wall is not a bad starting point guard.
In my eyes me and thing are still tied. Lcah. Who would you pick? Thing or me? Just so I can be done with it.
I'm going to get you now, RedNation 6 point comeback, it's going to be legendary EAST Horry33 vs. Jamers 5:1 jvu vs. Jmc 4:1 WEST RedNation vs. Donatas 5:0 thething vs. VBG 4:0
I think I've posted this already but in case I haven't: To all the voters....Jkidd is my "starter" but he will play less than John Wall. I wanted the veteran JKidd to get the offense going by setting up LeBron, Sir Charles, and Hibbert. Then John Wall can come in for the kill and run circles around the other team most of the game. And please remember this Charles Barkley is from the 76ers and not the fatty from the Rockets and TNT.
It was just a coaching strategy but if I advance to the next round maybe I will move swap out Wall and Kidd to appease the fans.
