The Melo/DC combo is so amazing I think every team needs to have that.

I hated not being able to reach to get Douglas, because he's one of my all time favorites, but on this team Ennis is more than capable of getting the ball to the scorers. The idea of Melo and Coleman at the two forward spots is too friggin' cool.

I play by my own rules:

Pg - MCW $2
2G - Shumpert $2
SF - Wes Johnson $3
PF - Melo $5
C - Etan $2

Under budget, and don't tell me you can't have Melo at PF.

The late 80s - early 90s will always be my favorite era so I hit that time period pretty heavy.

Any SU team has to start with Derrick Coleman. He's my $5 player.

If your $5 player is gone, the best $4 player is Sherman Douglas at PG, relative to the other players at each remaining position. The small forwards are pretty closely bunched in terms of talent, so you want to go low there. You could make a good case that Rony Seikaly is the best $4 player, but I think I can find a cheaper alternative who is pretty good.

I fill out the rest of my roster with Wes Johnson at SF for $3, Etan Thomas at C for $2 and Dion Waiters at SG for $1 (the bargain of the game).

So, my lineup is

C: Etan Thomas
PF: Derrick Coleman
SF: Wes Johnson
SG: Dion Waiters
PF: Sherman Douglas

Doesn't work. You've got 2 PGs.

You'd need an outside shooter and I don't see Matt Roe on the list.

Shumpert was never a 2 for us.

Shumpert was never a 2 for us.

That's how he's listed on that chart.

Every team has to have Coleman. It's not up for debate.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Danny Schayes for only $3 ???

His autograph is worth more than that.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

GMac / Dion / Melo / DC / Otis.
