Wiggins at pick 12? Nice realism 2k ::)

ikr

They said he should be a Top 5 pick  ::)

And the cheese continues: Wiggins sent to Athletics camp and Bogut to Big Man offense.

Also Patty Mills signed, but for a hell of a lot more than I was paying him originally  ::) I also needed a backup Centre so I signed the Birdman even though he is pretty old  :P Can fix any mistakes with trades anyway  :P

Wiggins will be no.1 pick in 2014 draft. Easy.

I'm not disagreeing with you  :P

Got offered Millsap and a rookie SF for Scola and Beasley. Considering it, but not sure if Millsap is the PF I'm looking for, however I wanna offload Beasley now that I have Wiggins...

[My Chumps]

And because Beasley is a bonafide scrub :P

This is my 2k13 fantasy draft team, I think it was from the 10 spot.

Jeff Teague/Mills
Jordan Crawford/Anthony Morrow/Sefolosha
Chandler/Singleton
Love/Markieff Morris/Leuer
Lopez/Oden

It generally lines up like this

Teague/Mills
Crawford/Morrow
Chandler/Sefolosha/Singleton
Love/Chandler
Lopez/Oden

Morris and Leuer generally don't play unless I have injuries or I am up by a lot. Crawford will go to PG in some packages, Sefolosha SG and Singleton PF in some and Lopez and Oden will see the floor together occasionally.

Lopez is a beast in the post, I am able to turn and drive off two steps or use the baby hook to my advantage, not really huge on his fadeaway in the post. Love is my all round shooter, drive, scrap, post, 3 point shots, all offense all the time. I am dishing off with Teague and Crawford (awkward shooting stroke) with ease and will kick outside to them for perimeter shooting, Morrow comes on and hits the 3 ball, Mills has been perfect from outside the last two games and Chandler is my jack of all trades. This team is built insanely well for this game. Even better, they are all young.

My favourite draft team without a doubt is my 2k12 draft from the start of the season pick 10 again

Jrue Holiday/Ish Smith
Nolan Smith (listed as a pg now)/Afflalo/J.J Redick
Durant/Ryan Anderson/Tobias Harris
Love/Collison/Ryan Anderson
Ibaka/DeAndre Jordan

A good mix of shooters, defenders, bigs, smalls, bench players, the whole lot. Durant a steal at 10, Love had his breakout season last year and I did the draft before that. Also was able to nab Jrue which I was extremely happy with. All 3 would be gone in the first round of a draft done today.

[My Chumps]

That second team is crazy!

Jrue always goes second round on mine and is always the best PG available. So good on this game too; outside shot, ability to drive and good perimeter D.

[Mat0369]

I picked all the up and coming stars perfectly on that second team. Durant, Love, Holiday, Ibaka, Afflalo, Ryan Andersen. My back ups are awesome on that team as well.

I love Jrue, he is such an awesome player. Love is pretty much my first pick if he is there in this game since I normally draft around the 10 mark. If he is there I take him. If I can team those two up again I would be very happy.

[My Chumps]

Without the updated rosters I got pick 14 or something and was able to draft Love, Jrue and Ibaka... Haven't played that association in ages though.

[Mat0369]

That is a really nice core. Do you have Love or Iblocka playing center?

My problem is I have updated roster and can't reset them to default. Even the current association with Love and Lopez was started just after Jrue had a number of breakout games so he went before my 2nd round pick. The AI generally draft the same every time.  I could start a season with the 6'ers and see if the Wolves take Bynum.

[My Chumps]

I think I used to play Love at the C. Both struggle on man-to-man iso defense against bigger opponents though, Ibaka a little more so.

[Mat0369]

I felt it was the other way around. On the team where I had Love, Ibaka and Jordan I used to play Ibaka as an undersized C since he was the better defender of the two. If I was getting destroyed on the inside I would bring Jordan on to provide some D and size in the middle, but Ibaka was able to swat away shots and Love would clean up the boards when I played them in those positions.

A guy like Ibaka would struggle on offense at C though, especially when he would come against guys like Chandler, Noah and Howard. I'd play Love at C but go to defensive settings and put Ibaka on the Centres when the team has to defend...

I rarely used to shoot with Ibaka, I would beat his opponents on the drive, put back dunks, fast break dunks, pretty much all my offense with Iblocka was from dunking. Love I would play in the post and stretch his opponents to the perimeter for open 3's. Ibaka was my decoy, then I had Durant, Love and Jrue for all my other offense.
