    <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2">What do you guys think of my team so far? Personally I'm not too thrilled with Hunter but I figured all I needed was a couple solid roll players after I got Dunlevey and Cassell on my bench. After I draft 2 more power forwards Hunter will be sharing time with them at C/PF spots. I really like Salmons he is </font><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2">extremely versatile, has a high basketball IQ, plays good D and Does a little bit of everything. He can also play 1-4 and I think he's a great guy to back up Mo Pete. What do you guys think?</font>
    </font></p>

    C - Ben Wallace/Steven Hunter
    PF - Kevin Garnett
    SF - Rashard Lewis/Mike Dunleavy
    SG - Morris Peterson/John Salmons
    PG - Raymond Felton/Sam Cassel </p></div>

    On paper, I think your team is better than the TWolves were last season by a considerable amount. Natural starting point because of Garnett. Wallace is a near/former all-star and 2nd team all-nba defender - an upgrade over the Wolves. The pair is one we'd love to see in Chicago, since they fit so well together at both ends of the floor. I'm not sure Lewis is that much of an upgrade over Ricky Davis because Davis is more versatile... Felton/Foye is a wash. Mo Pete is an upgrade. So better at two positions.</p>

    If Cassell is heathy and playing well, he should be your starter. It'd give Felton time to develop more consistency with his shooting; he's already good at all the other things.</p>

    Dunleavy is becoming primarily an SG. Hunter and Wallace tandem means you're always 4 on 5 on offense. Maybe you can play some smallball tho.</p>

    </p> Thank you for your input, I'll consider moving Dunleavy to the 2 and making Cassel the starter after the draft is over.

    i've been waiting for someone to pick out of order, AND pick someone who's already picked.</p>

    or for someone to pick a college or WNBA player...that'd be priceless.</p>

    I will say that my 12th round picks should make ZERO sense to a lot of people</p>

    my 12th round pick woulda been a WNBA player, or Josh Wright, if i had one. or maybe a retired person, that woulda been fun.</p>

    I like the Jason Smith pick.</p>

    I would've taken him if he lasted into round 11.</p>
