Fair enough, I think it gives me options but noted, maybe using Oladipo next to Harden and keeping Lowry as the sixth man is a better option but I still think my team is too good offensively to lose, and I also think it's pretty good defensively, and not getting the best out of lowery doesn't mean he isn't getting used effectively and effeciently imo.

Ok, fair enough. However, so far you've been responding with how you'd handle Desi's players. IMHO, you need to get out there on offense and start tooting Anthony Davis' horn. He's going to be a star in this league. Make him say, how he's going to stop you.

Aye this is technically my first draft, last one didn't have any discussion but I've been saying for a while with lowry and harden on the floor the P&R will be unstoppable with both Davis and Gasol at the frontcourt, as for stretching the floor, all my starting 5 can score the 3 and are very good shooting mid-rangers, with Reggie Jackson as the 6th man providing energy and another very good scorer.

Since the draft is based on the last two seasons, I'd be happy to leave Gasol and Davis wide open from 3 pts distance. More rebounds for my team. Also, I'll make sure to mark Lowry when he spots up as he shoots below 35% when marked tightly.

Oh yeah the last two seasons thing is still something I keep forgetting, still though I don't need them to shoot 3s since like I said both will be impossible to guard on the pick and roll.

That's why I'll try to force AD away from the paint and make him shoot jumpers. KD's wingspan will cause him trouble.

Who will Harden be guarding?

Bradley as to Harden will be guarding since he is not a big offensive threat, again I have Gasol who is also excellent on the P&R and really both Davis and Gasol have the length to be shooting jumpers over Durant and Whiteside, Gasol isn't your conventional Center, that's why Whiteside will have a hard time guarding him.

Bradley will get a lot of open shots as I don't see Harden running around screens trying to catch him. He may not be a big offensive threat, but give an NBA player enough open looks and he'll knock them down.

Davis and KD are equally tall and have a similar wingspan. I don't see any advantage for AD here on the perimeter.

As for Gasol, he's never been a big rebounder. How will you keep Whiteside off the offensive glass?

AD will be working the glass for mee, as well my team as a whole is better on rebounds.
