I thought this one was closer than the seeds indicated. As much as I like the PG punch of Bobby J and Delk, though, I was a bit surprised by the move to start Wallace over Christie.

For the record, I didn't exactly start Wallace over Christie. I threw together a starting line-up that had everyone in their "true" positions (or as close as I could get with my roster) because I was asked to provide a starting line-up. The idea of my team though was to have a fluid roster of guys who could play multiple positions and adjust the starters and subs based on the opponent and situations. The only name marked in pen as a starter in his position is Mitch.

But, regardless, this is what happens when your first draft pick is the same position as your franchise player and you can't secure a trade to correct it.
