Unseld, though undersized is a beast on the boards, pass IQ, very strong and has a high shot IQ. Will be interesting seeing him play vs guys 7'0 and above being that he's 6'7 but yes he does have a high rating. He also won MVP his rookie year almost pulling down 20 rpg.

Nah, just because players have a high rating doesn't make you a lock to win. If you pick a team of high rated offensive guys but are inferior defenders then you're going to get stomped by a more powerful defensive squad. You have to still put a strategy together, and intangibles matter as well...
If we go with 12 I can pick guys I've been wanting to pick, but afraid to because of how tight the lineups are forced to be. I still got holes I need to fill (that's what she said)

I usually do just add 2 benchwarmers to the lineups, but also look at it like this. Every team is going to be different. You may be matched up with a team of stretch bigs so you want to go small instead of running your bigs heavy minutes so they don't get punished on the perimeter. You may need...
Runner up DPOY in 08-09. People forget how good Josh Smith was on defense. He couldn't shoot, but he averaged almost 3 blocks per game in a season. His man defense was basically elite as he could lockdown and guard all 5 positions due to his lateral movement.
This pick was a Sim pick. Ive...
