top players to build a team around. Brandon Roy?
So I play a lot of NBA 2K8, and to spice up the game a lot of times I do the fantasy draft option. Basically for those people that don't play NBA videogames all the players are put into a league wide draft. It results in more even teams, or is supposed to. I was thinking today about two,well now I have a third, questions while mindlessly wasting my time playing today and that is:
- Who are your top players to build a NBA team around. Not necessarily the best players, but the best players to build a team around. Make a list of your 5,10, 15 make a list of however many players you like
- Is Brandon in the top 30?
- does Greg or LMA have to potential or likelyhood to get on the list
- Lebron, Chris Paul, Kobe, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard,
- Yes
- Not really sure.

Don't doubt yourself
My answers are as follows:
1. LeBron, Kevin Garnett, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Kobe.
(Who NOT to build a team around: Smush Parker.)
- Brandon is DEFINITELY in the top 30. Probably the top 16,
- You gotta figure, folks, that Gregory and LeMarcus will end up on the list. For cryin' out loud. Have a little faith.

My answers...
The rest of those guys are good picks, but Kobe's getting older too, but doesn't really have a lot of 'mileage' on him.
GO -should- work himself onto the list... after all, he is the most hyped #1 since LeBron and the first pick in what we think is one of the deepest drafts since like the Malone/Barkley/Ewing draft.

I do the same thing with sports games
Lebron, Dr. Dwight, LmA, Brandon, Paul
Greg and Durantula are the sixth men.
I also always create Sabonis.

i love 2k8
- LeBron, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Brandon Roy, Dwayne Wade
- Well if he's in the top 5 I think that automatically gets him into the top 30 unless you're using Qyntel Wood's math
- Yes

I think 2K is much more realistic

The way I hear it...
But that is only a rumor, which you did not hear from me. Nor from anyone pretending to be me.

Roy is up there
Kobe Bryant is 30 years old, which means he's got maybe 5 years left at his top level, and that's being generous. Not sure I want to build around him at this point. If we're talking a two-year window, sure.
As amazing as Lebron is, I still need to see more. I know, I know. The East ruins everything for me. I'm as biased as they come in that respect. Let's see what Lebron does this season in the playoffs, then maybe I'll hop on the bandwagon. Still, you have to put him as #1 purely on physical talent alone.
Can't say enough about Chris Paul, taking a middle of the pack team and having the best record in the West this season. Wow. Again you have to see what the playoffs bring to see how huge Chris Paul is really going to be, but so far so good.
So I'll go Lebron, CP, and then I'll take Roy. Roy's an All-Star in his second season. He's not flashy but it's time to admit he's really freaking good. In the West.

Oh about LMA/GO
LMA is a toughie. He's smarter than I first thought. He's more skilled than I first thought. Can he handle himself down low - both on offense and on defense? I think that is the major question for LMA.
Theoretically we could be fielding three of the top 15 or 20 players in the league in a few years. I really believe that.
