I go back and forth each year between trying to balance out my team and just taking the best player available. 

Also between going for ghe most available minutes and test and the best per minute guys.

It's also one thing to think in simple terms as if starters may not get injured or guys just suck... suddenly your starter and backup and ready to go plan becomes either a hurdle to overcome or a postitional disaster

I have typically went with best available based mostly on per minute stats because it feels like the right thing to do, but it kept biting me in the ###. I think the most important thing to do in the draft is draft competent minutes at PG and C when available. It feels icky drafting an inferior center who plays 20 mpg when there are decent SG/SFs left that you know are going to get 2000+ minutes. And that is the point of the draft we are at.

Decent SG/SF/PF minutes are always easy to come by, quality PG and C minutes go quick. There was a handful of SG/SF types that I liked better than Mills but one of them will be around when I pick again. There are only a couple centers left that I could guarantee could get 1500 minutes if they are healthy and none of them are significant net-positives in the sim.

Having done this now 1.5 times, both times starting with KAT, my perspective on Centers/big men is likely skewed.  I can cobble some together and not have to be as focused on decent but not as good minutes, just in more bulk.

As to the PG component, it's likely Barton gets more play than Brogdon, taken before him... but I wanted the assists and more PG traditional role when I took Brog, having the chance to back up and hedge Teague while also being efficient enough to play SG.  Building a perfect team with no elasticity for injuries or poor performance can really hamstring things.

 
Ok, going for a strong per minute guy at a scarcer position. 

Richaun Holmes, C Phi

Has a realistic path to decent minutes in front of him too #process.

Having a center that plays 3000 minutes really helps. It has been over a half decade since a big man had that many minutes. 

 
Sorry about the hold up. I got to work early so I could draft up a list :lol:

... and then was promptly swept away for 3 hours. Doh!

@Spartans Rule - Tyreke Evans, F-G, primarily in the infirmary

Thanks Koya.

On the off chance Evans doesn't get injured, he can be a high-usage backup for both Lowry and Harden. My backcourt rules, but my frontcourt is not coming together at all how I hoped. I always want to be a good rebounding team but I don't think that's happening.

G: James Harden, Kyle Lowry, Tyreke Evans
F: Tobias Harris, Pau Gasol, Marvin Williams
C: Mason Plumlee
