His defense is bad because he simply gambles on steals and is too small, or simply doesn't know how to stay with his man. He's also getting slower, so he's a huge liability on screens. I think Nash is still a worse defender than AI so it's really just the offensive end that's going to kill you. This is an awful move for the Grizzlies. | ||

Perhaps Marc Gasol? Too bad he'll be seeing even less of that ball now. Actually they had it. In 2007-2008 Rudy Gay was an absolute fucking monster. A Rookie showing ridiculous scoring ability and he was already poised for a breakout. Then in 08 they drafted OJ Mayo who for all intents and purposes is another offensive animal. Gay slumped, Marc Gasol complained about their immaturity and the Grizzlies went to shit. Of course Marc Gasol was OK, and they never really let him do his thing So they bring in AI and Randolph and expect things to get better. I'm not drafting any Grizzlies players this year because NO ONE is going to pass the fucking ball. | ||

You can have lots of offensive talent but if they can't play together they barely end up scoring and passing enough to matter in fantasy :/ Then add in they all suffer defensively so really why would you want to draft them except if you have no choice?

I dislike Roto and usually play H2H. However if you guys do it that way and can't find enough players to join I'd jump in. | ||
