My big killer in the draft was not drafting a center early. I kept going after guys and literally about 3 times they got picked the pick before I wanted to take them - I kept not taking the next one that I liked, thinking - I could get him next round.
So I eventually ended up with 2 centers that started the season injured. I initially thought it was no big deal and that since they'd be back soon I'd just make the rebounds up - but I never did, especially defensive rebounds. I think that my lack of quality center play was the reason I could finish up in first place without a doubt. I tried by using most of my Utility games with Magliore and Pachullia and Dalembert all getting lots of time - but it was too little too late. Next year I'm taking a center somewhere in the first 4 rounds.
Billups was great, but ended up being very hit or miss towards the end of the season... 35 points one night, 8 the next. 15 assists one night, 4 the next....
