i actually went with ace man at first because he had 5 titles versus 3 for gonzo. i like winners. but then i looked it over again and went with a more logical approach and gonzo has a mismatches all over the floor and i’m really not a fan of okafor and horford together in the front court so i switched

That is one heck of an impressive staring five. And you got the two I left of one the bench with other eally good players

Gotta go with @GonzoCat90 on this one

Expected to lose this but not get crushed. I think my team has the more solid college careers but Gonzo has the better NBA players without a doubt. I understand the knock on my team not necessarily fitting together as well though.

I think @aceman509 is better on paper than people probably understand given the context of the draft.

However, it's a tough matchup because I do not see an answer for Durant- Russ, Kemba, Mason and Howard are all great guards but offer the same- probably only need two of the four and upgrade on the wings.

 

[GonzoCat90]

I think ace is really missing a versatile, athletic 4. The problem is there haven't been many of those yet in college basketball. Most of them are guys like Horford.

You can get by with Brogdon at the 3, he was actually on my list the round he was picked, but not when you're so small at guard and so slow/plain on the post.

Just think I have too much speed/athleticism and they're mostly 40% 3 point shooters who can defend.

His team is better than a first round exit though. Think he advances against more than half of this draft. Bad matchup.
