Dang. This was a heavy consideration when I was looking people up last night. If I had remembered him this morning, prime lob city Blake probably woulda been my pick. Thanks for the reminder…

I have historically drafted him in the 70’s-80’s. Prime Blake Griffin was a problem for the league and he is super underrated due to how his career fell off.

I used to think he only did it to me, but seems this year he’s doing it to everyone else. I actually for once (knock on Wood) haven’t had issues with Ellis yet.
It’s in the OP, idiot!! Lol
My lineup (for @Thee Idiotic Minivan K )
This is probably what I'm rolling with:
Nash // Dumars (ostensibitly, but Nash and Lebron will be staggered so one of them will be on the floor at all times)
Vince ****ing Carter // Pistol
Lebron ****ing James// (Lauri)
Lauri (probably) // Blake ****ing Griffin
Marc Gasol // (Lauri)

Probably needs another playmaker off the bench. Really solid though.

After you make your final picks pm me your final rotations. If you don’t I’ll assume you like how it is in the op. I will not be asking only assuming.

Do we pick the minute allocations or is there a default for starters and bench guys?
Solid team. I’ve looked at everyone’s team and thought at times my team was top-3 and at other times I could see 5-6 teams being better. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I will say the one pick that made me the most envious was Lauri. Thought he’d fall farther and I’d be able to get him but next time will just take my guy (which I normally do).
It felt like a reach and I slept on it, but sometimes you just gotta believe. And really, Lauri is special. The list of players his size that can yack on dudes, shoot the hell out of the ball, and play 3-5 is one player long.
Also, being so efficient and productive on low usage has extra value in a context like this.
Especially when this exercise is essentially players at their peak. Big reason why I thought Steph should go way higher. Not many players better at their peak.
Ehh. Dumars and Pistol as secondary creators (because at least one of Nash or Lebron will be on the floor at all times) feels good to me.

That's true. Both are decent secondary playmakers.

Send it to me however you want it to look. The more thorough it is the better it looks for you.
And did exactly what? Miss the playoffs and win nothing. I'm pretty sure you can find a lot of players who scored 16 ppg and missed the playoffs. He's probably the most overrated player in Jazz history. He's a long Ronnie Brewer or a more healthy Exum.
I was super young at the time so my recollection could be off but didn’t his contract kind of hamstring us from getting better during the D-Will/Booz era?
