My team is looking a whole lot better after last night. :D
I got the best player in the world! So glad Haras took Curry with #1, we all know who the best player in the world is when it comes down to it. It's totally not fair and a lot of luck that I got LeBron with the #2 pick, but you can't deny just having him gives my squad a chance at the title every year.
Plus, I've got shooters and defenders all around him. Hell, even my center (Al Horford) shot 34.4% from 3 land this season. This is basically the dream team around LeBron - shooters and defenders. He can drive and kick for days and has all the space he needs on offense to do what he does best - go to the hole.
Mike Conley | Patty Mills
Khris Middleton | Rodney Hood | Iman Shumpert
LeBron James | Trevor Ariza
Kevin Love | Amir Johnson
Al Horford | Bismack Biyombo | Jahlil Okafor

Quick analysis: How to build around Lebron: Shooters, shooters, shooters and defense. That is exactly what Alex did. He got a bunch of 3 and D type players along with a couple guys who can do a little more like Mike Conley who I think will flourish with players who can actually allow driving lanes. My only concern is interior toughness. Kevin Love is having a really rough finals series and questions are coming up with just how much does he really fit with Lebron. He doesn’t provide much else besides being a stretch 4 with Lebron and that is an issue with a second round pick. Al Horford paired with Kevin Love sounds like a really soft interior. Though I think Biyombo is overrated drastically, he is the perfect fit for this team as he fills a huge need for them. Let’s not overlook Jahlil Okafor as the last guy who probably won’t play on this team, but there is a chance he becomes a really good player in the future (likely he won’t become a star in the 3 year span).
Strength: Lebron, 3 point shooting, spacing, front court offense
Weakness: Rebounding, interior defense
Biggest Need: A tough big man with some offensive competence. Zach Randolph is available?
Best Pick: John Wall. 26th pick… You serious?
Worst Pick: Kevin Love. This finals has put a hurting on Love’s value and chemistry with Bron
Riskiest Pick: Bismack Biyombo'
