PG: Irving/Westbrook/Knight/Nelson

Great crop of PGs here

Irving and a fully healthy westbrook are bar none the best combo of guards in this league. Both are very similar in terms of stats(Both will put up 21-24 PPG with 6-7 Asts and will chip in else where). To be honest i would move one of them because you won't need both.

Knight will be better in MIL and should be more efficient and hopefully dish out 5-6 assists and get his steal rate up. Nelson will regress from the 14.5/7.0 he put up last year due to oladipo around.

SG: Joe Johnson/Shumpert

I don't really like JJ this year fwiw. Too many mouths to feed and his game has been on the decline for a while. He'll be good but not great. Shumpert will put of defensive stats but that's it.

SF: Gay

Opinions are always mixed on him but i feel he'll be a top 10 option this year. He needs to get this shite together in terms of the longer range shot but he's strong everywhere else(6-8 Boards a game/3+ assists/pretty good steals/blocks). I'm really interested to see how TOR looks this year.

PF: Boozer/Duncan/Randolph

All three of them are getting up in age(Boozer and Zach are 32,duncan is a dinosaur)but they should be pretty legit options especially duncan with his per minute numbers. Though beware of minutes with timmy.

Boozer will give you the odd double double but doesn't provide much defensive stats. Z-bo ain't the scorer he was.

C: Al Jeff

He should put up 20/10 numbers along with good blocks. He's the only other threat on CHA besides Kemba/Henderson so he'll get his shots when he wants. He's also fairly durable so that's a plus.

Overall this is a very good team in terms of 1s and 4s but you need wings imo

feel free to rate mine

i thought it was more starts than that?

it's 28. i think 24 for the first week because it's a short week

It is kind of irrelevant because of the horrible settings. With the old settings, you could get 35 max starts in a week. Now with it set to only 24, you could technically go without starting a single position all week and reach the max starts for that week.

It really isn't

You're just going to weigh matchups more(akin to fantasy football/baseball). Will you forgo starting someone in the SG spot or take chances with matchups?

also it's 28 per week starting week 2. Nba season starts on a tuesday that's why it's 24 the first week.

What is this?

power rankings, imo

I agree with your rankings

because you're first, or legitimately?

...not really crazy about Jennings or Iggy, but they'll be solid enough

and your bench is the best in the league, imo

...if the new settings are gonna make bench less important, then that changes everything
