Warning! If certain threads make your head hurt or if time consuming is an issue for you dont bother continuing reading this thread and would be best to return to the Forum. Thank you.

Rules: You are given 80 points to create your own team based on a full season including playoffs ultimately winning the championship. Fatigue is counted when constructing your team. Its up to you however many players you want in your rotation but like I said fatigue comes into play. There is no prize or tournament involved just critism or praise from anyone who cares to chime in or give their 2 cents.

Give each player on your team points in each offensive and defensive category below. I'd recommend copy and paste for each player on your team. Also name the positon(s) each player plays and wether he is a starter or bench player. I think worth mentioning once again is fatigue plays a factor. You can create a starting line up of 5 superstars but have a super weak bench only 6 or 7 deep. Would that team be able to endure a whole season including playoffs winning it all?

3pts = Excellent
2pts = Good

Cool idea! Im a bit confused though. How exactly would i allocate points? Do i allocate points for each player? Do i choose existing players? Basically, i still dont get it.

 

[K F Jay]

Yes. Allocate points for each player. I'm not sure what you mean by choosing existing players. Create each player however you want.

Example:

PG
Passing Ability 3 Mid Range Shot 2 3pt. shooting 1 Driving Ability 2 Low Post Ability 0 Free Throw shooting 2 Put backs/Tips/Dunks 0 Off. Rebounding 0 Def. Rebounding 1 At blocking shots 0 At stealing passes 2 Ability to guard/tangibles 2

I just used 15 pts on one player. You get 80 points to create your team which means I have 65 points left to finish the rest of my team.

Thanks for playing. The team name made me laugh. You defenitely have a strong starting line up. With a short and less than stellar bench I think your starters will have to log more minutes than usual. At least in the playoffs they will have more rest in between games. But I think the stress of your starters having to play well and play more minutes in the course of a full season will take its toll. I think your team is good enough to reach the Finals but also vulnerable to perhaps lose in the Conference Finals. Hopefully more teams will pop up to get a better idea how good your team really is.
