So never played nbadt is it similar to afl that we should be guns and rookies or do people go more midpricers?
I'm not the best person to ask, but I would have thought guns and rookies is pretty much it. Not saying you can't start any mid-pricers, but I doubt you would be looking to start many.

See Aaron Gordon has massive breakout potential to me but he is a definite midpricer so might be too risky especially with Orlando just being the definition of a flaming hot mess.

Have had a look at a serious guns and rooks look - all rooks + 5 super premo's (like Russ, Beard, KAT, Giannis, AD).

Rooks would be something like Lonzo, Smith Jr, Monk, Mitchell, Thon, Jackson, Simmons, Collins, Kuzma.

Don't mind it at all.
I have gone a more even spread to start, with only rooks on the pine.
Will be able to sit down tonight and have a look more closely, been hectic latley.

These ESPN depth charts, whilst not perfect, give a good overview of expected starters vs bench guys et al.

@Dr Bones how much burn is Bell gonna get on your Warriors? Can't believe my Bulls sold him to you on draft night for cash considerations. He looks like a poor mans Draymond (which is still really, really good).

OK guys, new 8 team league code for sportdeck is: 754753
I have left the league @Dr Bones heads up to leave as well.

My team as it sits:
Irving McCollum (Simmons)
Paul Beal (Fultz)
Lopez (Maker)
Hayward Middleton (Tatum)
Turner Porzingis (Kuzma)

Pretty happy with this, really banking on a couple of guys taking the next step.
Then use generated coin to jump up to the super elite.

I also use the ESPN site for info.
This has all the projections for the upcoming season.

Quick on to guy's, if I remember correctly we can use max trades every week can't we?
Yep we certainly could last season, assuming it's the same again but will have to look.

The season has been extended by a couple weeks. Per Basketball Monster grid, doesn't look like there are any 5 game weeks this year. There are some 2's that may hurt.

Aaron Gordon should be a decent pick. They'll be playing him at the 4 which is much more suited to him.
