If I were Atlanta Dream GM..

[ljohnverrell]

Myself and 11 other fantasy GM's just did an 11 round fantasy draft on Rebkell and I was Atlanta Dream GM. My first pick was 3rd and I had to get Angel, of course..but heres your Atlanta Dream:

Atlanta Dream - ljohnverrell:

Starters
Angel McCoughtry - SG
Swin Cash - SF
Cheryl Ford - C
Leilani Mitchell - PG
Plenette Pierson - PF

Reserves:
Kayla Pedersen - R
Scholanda Robinson
Yelena Leuchanka
Matee Ajavon
Marion Jones
Carolyn Swords - R

What do you think?

It's the Atlanta Shock! Ford as center is a little suspect - they're mentally tough, but would they be able to keep it together?

I wouldn't be surprised if Jones moved up to point guard (Angel and Marion on the fast break? Woooo.... ) I wouldn't have Ajavon, and Swords doesn't have the lateral quickness to be a great post.

i was a big ajavon fan... but i was wrong.... she shoots too much and not very well.... and jones... tho she's proved that she can play.... is adequate at best... plenty of other choices that are far better... i really don't see the fascination with leuchanka... she played well in the euro leagues but only against teams with weak posts.... there were several games where she played in excess of 20 mins without a single rebound.... and i also think ford is questionable.... picking ford is like coming back ten years later to find your long lost true love... and coming face to face with the ten year older reality as opposed to the memory.... jmo


oh yeah... hey pet... ljohn....

Not a bad team at all. Ford has those bad kness. I think whatever team she plays for is going to have to limit her min. And PP as a starter... Sometimes I think she could do well in a starting spot again, then other times I just think she should remain a bench player for life. She is weak on the glass.

I can't lie if this was the ATL Deam I think I would be looking for another team to root for.

I agree that Angel and Marion even at her age on the fast break would be super interesting! Swords was just because I wanted a rookie that round.

Hey boo! (Don't worry other posters Jaye knows Imma girl )

Yeah Leuchanka was for height purposes and the person before me had grabbed Ta'Shia Phillips. (darnit!) Ford is a Dream and I wonder where she'll be playing!!!?

Ah, Capri..not even with our Angel?? Yeah I took her 3rd in the draft over Cappie because I had to have our girl.
