I know which seasons of these players I would use and I think it leaves room for a pretty decent bench. I don’t love the scoring efficiency or shot distribution among the high usage guys here but everything else is pretty good. Not too many fouls or turnovers. Lots of passing, good threes, excellent defense, awesome rebounding. 40-50 wins."

Thanks - I think you're being a little generous. I'm a few years out of practice in this cap so I will be happy if I can challenge for a playoff spot. I suspect you won't like the decision I made to move to the supersub, 1300-minute version of Drexler and start an undrafted guy (hint: he's one of the "Killer Bs" in my team name!) but I liked the team with those two seasons better than I did any of the versions with the full-season Drexler and the backups I was finding. I do wish I had made that decision before making my sixth-round picks, though; may have changed some things.

Anyway, my team should have pretty solid defense (four starters with 80+ D, though the bench is pretty weak defensively other than Drexler and Lin) and I'm hopeful that the very low turnovers will pay off, but the rebounding will not be as good as you suggest, both because my undrafted starting SG is weaker than Drexler there and because the bench are almost all worse rebounders than the starters. Should be fun!
If you’re refering to a certain 17-18 guy with B in his name at SG, he’s been killing it for me in the current DH52 league. I’m in first place and he’s getting heavy rotation. Good idea IMO if so. He’s underrated.
Indeed!

Well, you ended up in my division so I guess I'll have a front row seat for it.
