NBA Fantasy Team #3

I traded Keith Bogans yesterday for Donta Smith. I wanted athleticism and I got it. Donta Smith is a terrific athlete, much like Wilson Chandler and Shannon Brown. Donta Smith has got a lot of offensive skill, however I am hoping his athleticism and offensive firepower will overlook his poor defense. Smith will contribute to a starting lineup of mine which I hope can work with a small, athletic lineup with Kirk Hinrich, J.R. Smith, Mike Miller, Smith, and Harrington. This lineup will allow Harrington to use his quickness over bigger players at center and Smith at power forward to use his athleticism over bigger forwards. Miller, Smith, and Hinrich will man the 3, 2, and 1 positions respectively for shooting accuracy and playing perimeter defense. Jeff Foster is still my team's starting center. His defense and rebounding will be my team's valuable big man assets. Matt Barnes, Steve Blake, Eduardo Najera, and Kendrick Perkins are the bench rotation still. Barnes will back up Miller as usual at the small forward spot. Blake will play point and Hinrich will move to shooting guard, therefore sending J.R. Smith to the bench. Najera will back up Harrington at power forward and Perkins spelling Foster at center. Shannon Brown will get playing time behind Smith which is rarely. Ronny Turiaf will spell Najera as the third string power forward. Jacque Vaughn will play point when Blake or Hinrich is out. Paul Davis is still the third string center behind Kendrick Perkins and Jeff Foster. I think my team in fantasy basketball has the potential to beat superstar teams like Chris Bosh, Lebron James, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, Amare Stoudemire, and Carmelo Anthony. Why? A team is worth more than a superstar. A team that has role players and are committed to one thing, winning, will surely contribute more to a basketball game than one basketball star. My team is committed to playing defense soundly as a starting unit and on offense, the ball will find its way to the open man and the open man will take the best shot. If my team needs a go-to guy, J.R. Smith is the number one option. Al Harrington is the second option. Kirk Hinrich is the third option. Mike Miller is fourth. You can't go wrong with this team. Look out, superstars! This team needs no basketball star, needs no star ego, needs no leader. Fearless and determined, my fantasy team has the will and power to face any basketball team and win.
