Should I just go with shooters or try to put in Davis for the narrative? Or just go with all starters

All in on AD and Siakam

Kemba anyone???

Kemba seems fine, but I’m more interested in donovan mitchell given he should play the exact same role but on the 2nd team and he has more all star game style appeal. But every single player on Giannis’ team is underpriced in a theoretical sense.

The question Is how much effort will there be on defense.

263 after 3 qtr is the standard for ASG minimum effort.

Since the novel new rules encourage defensive effort I’m getting a contrarian urge to lean under.

Seems like Davis and Leonard will probably be limited minutes

Where are we hearing this? Or is this just intuiting?

Seems to me that Davis is probably the odd’s on early favorite for MVP seeing he is a Laker (Kobe effect), from Chicago, and is a starter. Don’t overthink it.

Yeah, I haven’t faded him yet…I also really think Giannis is going to put up some outlandish numbers. He looked up to Kobe, and just from the composition of his team has set himself up to get a lotttttt of touches. Similarly, he’s pretty much all business, and efficiency still matters in games with limited minutes regardless of the style. So far I have him as the chalk captain a lot.

I have AD and Giannis at Captain in most of my lineups. I have done 12 so far on DK

I actually only have had Giannis or Donovan Mitchell at captain (just to jam everyone in). But probably will end up with a couple wrinkles as I build more (I still haven’t mad that many lineups yet).

Just from looking@youtube videos they mentioned Davis and Leonard getting less minutes for maintenance.they could easily be wrong

Who is they?

Looking at team Lebron, im trying my best to avoid the expensive guys. Everyone cant go off you really have to pick between Lebron Ad, Kawhi Harden Booker plus Westbrook Tatum Jokic on the bench. Too many guys going to bust. Giannis pick his team terrible so the mvp might not be on his side but his side is dam safer. Trae Giannis are locks to me and Lowry.

I believe the winning lineup last season was Giannis plus five Team LeBron players although I could be wrong.

Historically Harden is bad in these games. Also I don’t think RWB gets much priority on Team LeBron. I’d much rather have Mitchell or Middleton. I think a bench player on Team LeBron will be in the winning lineup….either Booker, Simmons or Tatum.

I think Vetri mentioned it and maybe 1 of the other guys with videos.kawhi played 19 min last yr

Vertis good but I find that when I follow him a lot of my picks back fire

Vetri is a spit baller. He talks real fast but not a ton of meat and potatoes there.

I need more than Vetris “take” to scare me off AD

I think Middleton is way too cheap. He allows you to go with the high end guys.

Lets see what this Siakim kid is all about. Going to give him a try on FD and see how it does.
A poor man Kawhi is what you guys are saying? Sound interesting.

Not to mention he’s a starter so more minutes

Cap Paul! Jam in 5 superstars.

Do we think BI is 100 percent? He is built for this type of event

Is he playing?

I believe so.
