    Damn good starting 5 IMO based on who he has to pick from. I would take Booker out the starting 5 though he makes the line up too small.
    PG: Russell
    SG: McCollum
    SF: Winslow
    PF: Parker
    C: Okafor

    Yall are high on Winslow i see. I like his potential but in this setting he just seems like a smaller Stanley Johnson to me. What exactly does he do well?

    Smart will have a Tony Allenesque type career, not exactly the franchise player you're looking for with the 6th pick but also not deserving of the random disrespect, if he's not the best defender at his position right now he's top 3, hate didn't really start till the worst flop sell ever in the playoffs but guess what your favorite player flops too

    I've been disappointed in him so far, shooting below 40% from the field in your 1st two years is unacceptable, he needs to improve on offense drastically before justifying that 6th pick. Rozier is coming too

    I think he'll always be a streaky at best shooter therefore he needs to cut down on the 3's but I know he can shoot better than he did last season hell he showed it his rookie year, I'd rather see him try to improve in other areas, Rozier I don't even really see as coming for Smart's throat as I do him taking on Turner's role in the offense since we didn't address that this offseason and it's a fact IT as your primary ball handler in the playoffs is a problem, there's a lane for Rozier but he still can't guard positions 1-4 on the level Smart can
