Build Your Championship Starting 5

[gsmooth]

I think I'm going...

Kemba
Ricky
Niels
Alex
Emeka

Karaban at $2 is sort of a no brainer since the PF is the position lacking a true "star"...that gap between the $5 option and the $2 option is the smallest. Can sacrifice offense at the SG position when you have Kemba running the point with two shooters at the forwards. Niels and Alex both terrific ball movers/floor spacers and having Emeka sitting in the paint covers up any defensive deficiencies (although both guys I believe to be underrated defensively and you have a tremendous perimeter defender at the SG position here).

I noticed all my line ups had Karaban for the exact reason you stated. He is a great value for $2.

 

[superjohn]

PG Chris Smith / Kemba / Ricky Moore / Shabaz / Ryan Boatright
SG Ray Allen / Jeremy Lamb/ Ben Gordon / Jerome Dyson /Tony Robertson
SF Caron / Rip /Rudy Gay / Stanley Robinson / Nadav
PF Donnelly Marshall / Jeff Adrien / Freeman / Gavin Edwards / Karaban
C Emeka / Adama /Clingan / Boone / Voskul
6th men
Rasheed Anderson
John Gwynn
Charlie Villanueva
Niles Giffey
Joey C

Almost half the guys you named didn't play on national championship teams and I'm pretty sure Donnelly Marshall never played for us.

 

[borninansonia]

$1 - Taliek Brown

$4 - Jordan Hawkins

$5 - Rip Hamilton

$2 - Alex Karaban

$3 - Jake Voskuhl

Jake setting picks for Rip and Jordan; impossible to stop

 

[RichZ]

Ricky, Bazz, Lamb, Neils, Mek.
2nd choice would be Adama, Kemba, AlexK, Shad, Roscoe

Since you can start with Ricky Moore for a single dollar, that would be a great start.
