[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 1798606, member: 2013"] Point 1: The choice of LeBron was, I think, a good one... I would've picked him in the 2nd round if you hadn't grabbed him, for the very reasons you mentioned - he fills a lot of categories, he's his team's franchise player, and he'll probably get moved to GF during the seaon, letting him fill a TON of spots. Point 2: As far as Centers go, I think it's a no-brainer to grab Duncan and Nowitzki 1-2 simply because they're top-10 players that are light-years ahead of everyone else at the Center spot. The gap between, say, Duncan and Nowitzki vs. the 12th best Center is huge compared to the gap between the #1 and #12 point guards. Point 3: I know Reaper doesn't like dual-C leagues, but honestly, everyone is pretty much in the same boat. You may get one good Center, but especialy with a draft like this, you're not going to get two dominant centers (I think Brad Miller is honestly the last "noticeably above average" Center this year because he'll get more minutes with Vlade gone and contributes in pretty much every category but threes - and assists from the C are a nice boost), so everybody will be stuck filling one spot with a Samuel Dalembert or Eddy Curry - a guy who'll get you a double double and if you're lucky some other stuff thrown in. This makes the "management" of the game more important, and fun, IMO - figuring out what non-star to start. Any idiot can field an all-star team. ;) --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
