Can you rate my fantasy basketball team?

Question

Here is my team:
PG: Chris Paul
G: Baron Davis
SG: Corey Maggette
SF: Ron Artest
PF: Drew Gooden
F: Rip Hamilton
C: Yao Ming
Util: Mike Miller
Util: Z Iglausakas

B: Kurt Thomas
B: Shareef Abdur-Rahim
B: A Bargnani
B: Brendan Haywood

I'd like your thoughts on weaknesses and strengths and where i could improve.

Answer 1

depends on how many teams in the league.

paul/yao is a great 1/2 combination. Z is a great 2nd center to pair with yao, but you suffer a bit in the other positions cuz you reached to grab a 2nd C so early.

baron davis isnt a great guy to slot in at G (injury concerns, horribly %s and TOs), maggette is definitely on the decline as well.

artest is a solid pick at F along with rip, but i dont like the gooden pick there at all. luckily you have mike miller to slot in there, he should do well with gasol out for 4 months.

bench - all these guys need to be thrown to the wire. in their place, you need to grab a pg from the following list:
speedy claxton
mo williams
alston
jason williams
jarrett jack
monta ellis
rajon rondo

you'll also want some insurance for your big-men, so grab:
kwame brown
stro swift
nazr mohammed
channing frye
dan gadzuric
brian skinner

also might want to consider a gunner who shoots threes, cuz you're sorely lacking in that category. paul doesnt shoot threes for a pg, neither do your forwards rip/mags/artest etc. you're getting them all from baron and miller, which might not be enough. a guy like jj reddick on your bench could help you out a lot.

hope that helps, good luck this year.

Answer 2

Well your pg and C are fine and should win you categories. But the rest of the team is suspect at best. You need to get rid of artest, maggette, and gooden. Maybe catch someone on the Yao bandwagon and package him with one of these three. Also, give up davis. He always underperforms and is going to suffer under the new coach. If i were you i would use my big chips like paul or yao(two great players) to get back 2or3 reallly good players. Also, there is going to be alot of surprise PGs out there. Like ronnie brewer on the jazz who would put up sufficient numbers. Trade Paul for someone desperate for a PG and make a steal trade.

Answer 3

I like it alot actually not alot of superstars but, good effiecient players I really like B. Davis he is consistently great and is getting alot of assists with his new team Chris Paul is going to be even better just by his performances with the U.S I question Artest and Maggette but, they could have a great season Ming is a def. plus since Centers are hard to come by I would try though to trade Ilgausakas for a better SG or PF maybe package Maggette or Gooden with him for someone pretty good all in all though a good team

Answer 4

This is a great team considering how the players played last year.
Chris paul was on my team last year and he helped me a lot and he will probably be better this year. Maggatte was very consistent and always reliable. Rip hamilton will help u out with his ppg and his assists. Your bench is solid if 1 of ur players becomes injured and they are reliable. Good luck and i hope u have a great season.

Answer 5

Strength: Ming,Davis, and Paul
Artest is an issue to deal with how you want.

Try to trade Bargnani for a higher ranked player, and Improve your Utility they are one the most important things.

Answer 6

I think you have one heck of a team to work with. Paul is one of my favorite guards. Yao and Z man are 2 great centers.

Answer 7

big fat zero. You could improve by forsaking the thug-filled ranks of the NBA and follow a real sport.

Answer 8

i would give it about an 9, because you got good guards and pretty good forwards and a good center, you just need better utility and bench

Answer 9

lose artest and davis and get a real fwd
