When voting, keep in mind that here's how the competition was defined;

We each draft 8 players (starting 5 + 3 man bench).
Players drafted can only be from current NBA rosters.
You draft the best possible team to win this year.
We ignore current injuries in terms of drafting.
We ignore any other factors such as suspensions, contracts/free agency, etc.

The idea for this competition is that we draft a team from current rosters that we believe could win the championship this year had they been together for the entire season, and all remained healthy.

And remember, as requested by you, the fans, we've got extra criteria for the picks to make it interesting;

Extra Criteria for Picks - Each team must satifsy this criteria
*1 starting player who has not been an All-Star
*A designated 6th man
*1 player who has played less than 2 full seasons of NBA basketball, for whatever reason
*1 player from the team you support

So vote accordingly. Vote for the teams you think best satisfy all the criteria, the teams that you think would have the best chance at the championship this year had they been together for the entire season, and all remained healthy.

And remember, anyone can vote, but draft competition participants votes count for 2!

PHX got my vote in this one. I mean, Dwight Howard and Tim Duncan getting fed by Rondo? Man, that's a championship foundation right there.

I think Surkin has the superior bench, and addressed the criteria really well, but in the end I just can't see Marc Gasol and Josh Smith having much success vs Dwight and TD, and thats where this one was won.

 

[peternorth]

PHX wins here. TD and Howard down low would be unstoppable.

Problem for Surkin is that Josh Smith will sit outside and jack Js. Melo cant battle the beasts by himself.

 

[nufan]

Gotta give the nod to PHX. Surkin is just too thin in the front court.

 

[Surkin]

As mentioned PHX's bigs definitely got the advantage, however Gasol and Smith definitely aren't mugs and would get good support on the boards from Melo.

Feel I've got him covered in the other spots though and a second small unit of Kyrie and JJ would be hard to stop.

Obviously bias though and will abstain from voting.

 

[PHX]

Get your bias on Surkin because I plan on voting.

Think I have the match covered with the front court and only Joe Johnson makes it a problem since I have a bigger bench, but Afflalo/Granger will just have to play extra minutes to cover.

Love the Rajon vs TP match up.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

i like Surkins team for some reason. I see Howard and Duncan being damaging on the boards and defence but i like the scoring potential for Surkin and his bench.

 

[Surkin]

Looks like I will have to PHX, I'm getting my arse kicked out here. Was happy with the side I selected, may have just run into the wrong side side first up with the big 2 up front and which was probably my sides only weakness.

Rondo feeding Howard and Timmy D. Balls Deep. Easy decision.
