[THE DUKE]

What's the height of the roster?  Curious to see how your back of the bench freak squad is coming along but can't remember who they all are outside of Gatling and now Boyd.

I'll put that together today.

BTW i did do a scrimmage so i could see Boyd and his height.  He's kind of fat haha.  

[theJ]

Finally got a few minutes at lunch today.  Top 25.  Roster with heights coming shortly after.

Kevin Durant's ability to stay relevant at age 35 is pretty incredible.

Looking through the league my roster is obviously tops and it's not even close.  Let's see if i can actually repeat this year.

I'll be changing my coaching strategy again to score score score.  Goal is to have the #1 offense, defense be damned.  

[MKnight82]

Your starters are stacked, my only concern would be if your 2nd unit can score.  Hughes would be the primary option off the bench but you don't have any other shooters in that group.

Hughes is a decent scorer.  Sheridan will score a little too.

 

But yeah, the bench scoring is a little to be desired.

[theJ]

Won't be breaking any records this year, but still very obviously the best team in the league.  

All-Star Break Rankings

A few notes

• Leading league in scoring (110.2 PPG) - margin of 4 ppg
• Defense is 13th
• 2nd in league in FGA, 2nd in FG%
• 1st in rebounding
• McGuire 20.7/5.1/7.9
• Burke 20.1/6.6/2.4
• Gatson 19.2/9.8/3.4

Bernard Hughes is averaging something like 11 PPG.  He's doing his job well as the 6th man.

[theJ]

No contract extensions this year.  The only guy up is William Conley, and he wants to test FA.

As with recent seasons, i'm just going to post one scouting report at the end of the season.  It swings a little wildly at the bottom, and so it'd just be a waste of time.

 

And that's all i have time for today.

[THE DUKE]

Gatson so close to averaging a double double.

[theJ]

1 hour ago, THE DUKE said:

Gatson so close to averaging a double double.

He hasn't topped out on his scoring or rebounding potential, so i think he'll get there eventually.

I didn't write down Goodman's stats, but he's close too.  I think something like 11 and 9.4

[theJ]

At the break:

• Marty McGuire (3rd), Dale Burke (8th), Gerald Gatson (1st) All-Stars
• Hilariously the top 3 in the MVP race are McGuire, Gatson and Burke

 

OMG Dale Burke - Broken Back, out 6-8 weeks just after the All-Star Break, which puts him back right around the playoffs.

[theJ]

So at the break, McGuire, Gatson and Burke were leading the MVP race.  But because of Burke's injury, my final record slipped a bit.  So neither of them won MVP, and none of them even made an All-NBA team.  Ridiculous.

McGuire had a great season.
