It'd be cool to do this for like 5-7 years.

At 3 it's cool too but it's kinda like (pick the best players just don't pick old geezers)

"The statistical difference in Miami's defensive performance when Whiteside plays vs. when he sits is startling.With him on the court, the Heat are surrendering 102.5 points per 100 possessions, per NBA.com. When he sits, that number rises to 92.3, which would be the second-best mark in the league.That seems to suggest the Heat have built their ferocious defense in spite of the league's best shot-blocker, not because of him."



" The Heat have mostly used Chris Bosh as the lone big man during crunch time, relegating Whiteside to the bench. Whiteside has sat out of six entire fourth quarters this season, and the 4.8 fourth-quarter minutes he receives per game is the fourth-lowest mark on the team."

"The Heat's best lineup this season has been the five-man grouping of Bosh, rookie Justise Winslow, Gerald Green, Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic, per NBA.com. That mix provides spacing on offense, as well as quick feet and even faster thinking on defense. On the other hand, Miami's plodding starting lineup of Whiteside, Bosh, Luol Deng, Dragic and Wade is being outscored by one point per 100 possessions in a significantly larger sample of minutes."

"Upon closer review, it doesn’t appear the highlight rejections are actually deterring the opposition from coming into the lane. Opponents aren’t just shooting better in the restricted area when Whiteside plays (64.3 percent compared to 60.7). They’re also getting to the rim more often."


Yeah no these numbers are all completely made up/incorrect

Or like a year old.

That would not work because you wouldn't be able to pick a ton of players due to not having them or any replacement when they're done. At least with three years you can still pick older players just know they will decline.

what are your guys' thoughts on me picking vucevic? i felt like he was one of the best centers available at this point, and with AD protecting the paint I could afford to have a less defensive-minded center


but i don't entirely love the pick.

I think he's a good pick to pair up with AD. One of the best C's that were still available for sure

I kind of regret waiting so long to pick a point guard, but I feel like with the right support, either Teague or Rubio would be great. They'd literally be the 4th or 5th scoring option on the floor.

Bledsoe is a good pick. The knock on him seems to be he can't stay healthy.

However, I think of the guards in round 4 that have been picked so far... He is the best one.

Edit: just realized you picked him to play the 2 next to Lowry. I think this diminishes his value significantly. Yes he can play it but he is much better at the 1 and that 2 point guard system the Suns liked to run seemed to cause a lot of issues for the guards ego wise etc

Lowry actually loves playing off the ball, I made the selection with the anticipation of lowry playing more off the ball than Bledsoe, both have the ability to shoot well and can play with the ball or off the ball.


Bledsoe does have some health concerns but he's a much higher value than where I took him skill wise
