Right under the pinned message should be another message “do you understand the rules?” And you can click the check mark from there

This team could be a formidable force, combining elite scoring and playmaking with solid defense and rebounding. Here's a breakdown:
Strengths:
* Offensive Powerhouse: Jokic and Lillard are two of the league's most dominant scorers. Their ability to create shots for themselves and their teammates would make this offense incredibly difficult to stop.
* Inside-Outside Scoring: Wood's athleticism and shooting range provide a versatile scoring option, while Favors' strong post presence and rebounding skills offer a solid inside presence.
* Defensive Anchor: Kessler's rim protection and rebounding would solidify the team's defense, while Jones' length and defensive instincts would help disrupt opposing offenses.
Weaknesses:
* Defensive Vulnerability: Lillard and Wood are not known for their defensive prowess, which could leave the team vulnerable to opposing offenses.
* Lack of Shooting Depth: While Jokic, Lillard, and Wood are all capable three-point shooters, the team could benefit from adding more shooting depth to spread the floor.
Overall:
This team has the potential to be a top-tier contender in Savage 17. With Jokic and Lillard leading the way offensively, and Kessler anchoring the defense, this team could be a force to be reckoned with. However, their defensive weaknesses and lack of shooting depth could be exploited by opposing teams.

Thanks chewy! I agree other than my shooting. With lillard, jones, wood and jokic the 3s should be flowing. Although I’m always light on 3s so maybe that’s just a lot for me lol.

My challenge is keeping my offense, dreb, and assists up while improving the holes. It may be to much to do with my last 6 picks.

Don't Thank me, Thank Gemini. I just asked it to write a team summary based on your players.

I was going back and forth on West and Lever. I was hoping one was gone.

While raw talent and historical significance are undeniable, advanced metrics paint a concerning picture:

  • Luka Doncic: Despite his brilliance, Doncic's high usage rate often leads to inefficient scoring and a negative impact on his teammates' efficiency. His defensive liabilities further hinder his overall value.
  • Oscar Robertson: While a statistical marvel of his era, his advanced metrics would likely be underwhelming. His lack of three-point shooting would be exposed.
  • Bill Russell: As a primarily defensive player, Russell's impact on sim basketball, where offensive production reigns supreme, would be limited.
  • Bobby Portis: While a solid contributor, Portis's lack of elite athleticism and three-point shooting limit his ceiling.
  • Nic Claxton: A promising rim protector, Claxton's limited minutes don’t provide much depth.
  • Bradley Beal: Known for his scoring ability, Beal's efficiency and usage rate raise questions about his sustainability and impact on his team's overall success.
  • Enes Kanter: A skilled offensive rebounder and post scorer, Kanter's defensive liabilities and lack of three-point shooting severely limit his value.

Key Concerns:

  • Lack of Three-Point Shooting: The team's reliance on mid-range scoring and post play would be detrimental against minus defensive strategies.
  • Defensive Liabilities: Multiple players on this team struggle defensively, leading to poor team defense and increased scoring opportunities for opponents.
  • Inefficient Scoring: While the team boasts high-scoring options, their efficiency and usage rates raise concerns about their ability to consistently produce.

In conclusion, this team, while filled with star power, presents significant statistical red flags. Their lack of three-point shooting, defensive liabilities, and inefficient scoring would likely result in disappointing performance.

Ouch my AI friend. Does AI know Portis shoots 3s?

AI can be told to slant the writeup to whichever side the inputter tells it to go. It's all just for fun.
