I think what this election is going to boil down to is a bit in my last post: Who can present the better plan for the roster going forward in the post-Mrsola world. Inside? outside? Balanced? Specialized bigs? What kind of SF if any at all? How much passing, and how much JR?
The last two/three elections have been held and won under the premise that Motion is going to be the team, and at most you had to find a good PF or C to supplement that offense.
For me? I'm not sure what Mediocrity will do, but I want to take a reallllllly hard look at my favorite NT in the world, Finland
(69)We know a few things about them:
Their bigs don't have much IS, but have a lot of passing(16+), have a lot of SB, ID, and Rebounding.
Their guards have a ton of IS, but no JR
I don't want to replicate them, but I see no reason we can't use their success as a path for us given our current key pieces like Brett Kang, Gus Andrade, and Gibson Aboki. Those are the kind of players I want to star in my NT, while I find supplemental players to match them and their strengths. Finland's roster doesn't change much inside offense vs outside because of the versatility on defense of their squad; their high SB bigs sometimes play guards with a D switch. So donkeys are a thing of the past with bigs, and I need 18 IS for my guards. I don't think I'm going to employ a true SF unless I do scouting and find one that blows me away. A 20/20 D guy that can score inside and outside is just not a thing in BB, or at least for us, so depending on our strengths or the current matchup, I might go more offense, defense, or big/guard.
