Fun: Create a team from your current players Topic

Rules:
  • 1 season who wins?
  • Same division only, so D2 players can only be used for creating your super D2 team. not D1/3
  • Only get to answer for 1 division so you can post a D2 and a D3 team
  • You can pick IQ and each player would have what their current highest IQ level is, so choose flex, and you have 2 players with A- triangle they would become A- flex in this hypothetical team.
  • Class limit is still in effect so no more than 6 per class.
  • Roster size is 12
  • No using multiple account players so if you have an alt id you can't mix players between id's.
  • you can mix positions so you can play a SG as PG and a PF at C

Here's my go for D3:

IQ wise I'd go Flex/Press although I'd be very tempted to run the fastbreak with this team

This is fun. It made me realize (1) how relatively weak my frontcourts are, and (2) how much my recent CG run at Shenandoah was fueled by team effort and not star power. 

Well, I guess if my backcourts are stronger, I might as well play to my strengths. Eight guards, four posts! I'd go with this lineup for D3 (hyperlinks at the primary position): 

PG
Jeff Thurlow (Shenandoah)
Ray Hone (Dallas)
Carl Olson (Maryville)
Glen Hindman (Dallas)

SG
Carl Olson (Maryville)
Glen Hindman (Dallas)
Larry Ferguson (Maryville)
David Sepe (Greensboro)

SF
Richard Shepherd (Dallas)
Mark Truesdell (Shenandoah)
David Sepe (Greensboro)
Larry Ferguson (Maryville)

PF
Bobby Harris (Greensboro)
Steve Gizinski (Shenandoah)
William Hucks (Shenandoah)
Mark Truesdell (Shenandoah)

C
Steve Gizinski (Shenandoah)
William Hucks (Shenandoah)
David Burke (Maryville)
Bobby Harris (Greensboro)

This lineup takes at least two guys from all of my D3 teams, but no more than four guys from any of them. Balance! 

Definitely going press with this group to take advantage of a jaw-dropping 11 players with SPD of 40+, including three with SPD of 88+. With DEF ratings ranging from 53 to 83 and athleticism from 52 to 72,  I may not have a true stopper for a man-to-man defense, but I have a bunch of speedy athletes who can defend in a press. I'm tempted to run flex on offense to let guys like Olson (89 PER), Ferguson (88 PER) and Sepe (93 PER) bomb away, but I think I'll actually run FB. The two-deep in the backcourt includes four players with FT of B+ or better, and I only have two players in the whole team (both big men) with FT below C+. Plus I have the aforementioned speedy athletes, and I have two guards with SPD of 80+ and LP of 60+, so they can get to the hole. 

For an all-star team, my frontcourt is not very athletic, although Bobby Harris can score with the best of them, but running FB/FCP, I'd take this team against anybody in any D3 world I've ever played in. I'm sure there are other coaches who can churn out an all-star team that would beat my boys, but I'll wager it's not many.

I typed this whole thing out before noticing your class limit thing. I'm not going to redo everything, but with class limits, I'd probably swap out Shepherd (SF), Hucks (C), and Truesdell (SF) and replace them with Moss (SF, Shenandoah), Benkowski (SF, Dallas), and Love (C, Dallas). Keeping that filthy backcourt intact!

Well, it's not all twelve but it's the starters likely. A bit of a down year for my d2 teams.

I only have 2 D2 teams to choose from, but I will give it a try.

I would probably go Triangle for my offense since I have plenty of passing. M2M for defense since all of my defensive ratings are pretty high, and I don't quite have the SPD and STA to go Press. My backcourt is lacking some BH which is why I didn't choose motion offense. I am not sure who would be my lead scorer, I might have everyone score  5-10ppg, and hopefully be very efficient with my high passing. There are definitely better D2 teams out there, but this one should be able to compete for a championship in any D2 world. (Starters are in bold)
