I guess femur as femur has already won... Was hoping someone would give more than just their picks so I could see what is going on here better...

In Nos previous matchup I pointed out that I didn't love the fit of his first half team. You can check out what I wrote, but it once again applies here. I think Femur's first half unit fits much better. Rose's ability to get to the hoop and in a P&R game is immensely helped by Love and Pierce being able to stretch the court. Brandon Roy was a good shooter as well. Just from an offensive continuity standpoint, Femur's works much better IMO. Defensively, Love is the weakest link, but his matchup is favorable in that Randolph can't cover him at all either.

Second half, there is no better pairing than Wilt and Nowitzki on a team in this draft. They compliment each other perfectly. Magic has a height advantage on Wall, but there's no way Magic could keep up with Wall on the open court. Basically there is no way Nos team would be able to defend Nowitzki at all, which sets him over the top for me.

I consider Derrick rose one of the most over-rated players in NBA history, almost voted against you for owning him alone... But as my vote didn't matter, went with the masses, as I sometimes love the mob mentality...
