Pick Your Own Valley Team

[AZ BU Fan]

If you could pick anyone you wanted to form a 12 man basketball team from current MVC team rosters, who would you choose? Doesn't have to be stat leaders, and should reflect your coaching mindset regarding offense, defense, bench, etc.

[Fetz86]

Starters:
Dillard
Eldridge
Ahelegebe
A. Koch
Weems

Bench:
Colt Ryan
Toure Murry
AW
Mallet
TB
Carmichael
Lawson

uptempo, lots of pressing.
Picked 3 freshman so my team has a future too. Want to be able to get up and down the floor quickly (no Egleseder) and nobody should be playing more than 25 per game. Lots of Dana like line changes. Several guys who can hit 3's in bunches, tried to get guys who are good at getting to the free throw line and converting.

I like this thread alot, I'm gonna spend some time looking at it, and I'll post mine. I think it'll be interesting to see how people view it. I think I'm going to do it like a coach, look at graduating classes, roleplayers, etc. not just the 12 best players in the league.

[LittleBrave]

Starting 5:
Toure Murray
Josh Young
Kenny L. Jr
Kyle Weems
Jordan Egleseder

Next 5:
Clevin Hannah
Tony Freeman
Andrew Warren
Dwayne Lathan
J.T. Durley

Last 2: Future Valley stars
Colt Ryan
Jackie Carmichael

I've been looking at this for like an hour now and I'm still struggling to figure out what combination of players I would use lol

[FanOfTheGame]

Dillard
Eldridge
Brown
Weems
Lawson

Kwadzo
Freeman
Carter
Carmichael
Egleseder

Colt
Booker



Dillard can score and leads the league in assists. He is very good.
Edgridge has the most star-power and can shoot/score/catch fire on anyone.
Brown would be much better as a 3 and has plenty of upside.
Weems for cleanup duty and rebounding. A great 4.
Lawson for size and rebounding.

Kwadzo is steady, great D, veteran, perfect 6th man.
Freeman can get a shot off under pressure and bury the 3. One dimensional.
Justin Carter can D up inside and out and score inside and out. Versatility.
Carmichael for the future as a rebounding, shotblocking, animal inside.
Egleseder may be the most dominant player in the Valley but no stamina.

Colt is arguably the best Freshman in the league. Great size for a guard.
Booker is a homer pick. Leads the league in rebounding per 40 and up there in blocked shots. He is getting steadily better with every game but is still very raw. If it all comes together and he learns to stay out of foul trouble he will be a monster by his senior year.

Pick your coach too? Or are 'you' the coach?

Anyway, mine:

Sam Maniscalco
Taylor Brown
Will Egolf
Chris Roberts
Andrew Warren
Jake Eastman
Dyricus Simms-Edwards
Milos Knezevic
Sam Singh
Anthony Thompson
Eddren McCain
Jordan Prosser


Head Coach- Jim Les

note: left Dodie off since injured, but add him for next year when players graduate

[Braves4Life]

Not a bad team MacabreMob....... But somehow I think they'd consistently finish in the middle of the pack and be relegated to meaningless post-season tournaments
