All-UK Fantasy NBA Team

[FtWorthCat]

I play fantasy basketball with a bunch of coworkers, none of whom is a UK fan. It is a just for fun league, so for the last couple of years I have drafted only former UK players. I have finished near the bottom of the league both years. But this year, if they would just give me all the former UK players, I think I could be a contender. It's a 10-team league with 16 players per team, so you're looking for the top 160 players in the league

Anthony Davis - consensus overall #1 player in NBA fantasy leagues
Cousins - usually project to go around #8
Wall - projected to go in the #10 - #12 range
Bledsoe - projected in the low #20s
Noel - projected around #25-#35
Brandon Knight -project around #50
Towns - Projected around #50-#60 (but a major sleeper pick, imo)
Terrence Jones - projected around #90
Kanter-projected in the #90-#100 range
Rondo - projected about #100-#110
Randle-projected around #125
Patterson-projected about #140
The others worth drafting to round out the roster:
Cauley-Stein (may start)
Meeks (good for 3pts and FT%)
Booker (I believe he will find minutes)
Others:
Goodwin/Young/Lyles, etc. (one of them could emerge as being worth the #16 slot on the roster)

Is it a 10-category league? If so that team would probably going to be finishing last in the three-pointers category unless AD and Towns average something like one make a game.

It's a 9-category league. Meeks would help with threes, as would Knight, but that is a weakness. We are strong on PGs and PF/Cs, but still kind of weak on the wings. It doesn't help that MKG is essentially out for the season, although he may actually return late in the year. Not that he would help in that category anyway.

Forget fantasy, I wonder if you could win an NBA Championship with an all-UK team? Davis, Boogie, Wall, Bledsoe would be a good start. Throw in a healthy MKG (need someone who might have a chance of at least bothering LeBron), and fill in the bench with the others, and you could at least get to the Playoffs I would imagine.
