iSuck is a good captain, he's drafted some great teams, and the biggest draw of having him as a captain is that he is also a developmental coach, so it makes sense that he somehow drafted a team of A-Team rookies and I'm not worried in the slightest.
His NPC pick was Enthymeme, who came onto the scene last season and played very well, getting the 99 DNISH and coming second in both holds and caps. I saw him play my B-Team that season, and it seemed pretty clear that he was a big reason why the Master Boaters were even close to playoff contention in the first place. With this season seeing a lack of strong East Coast defenders, getting Enthy as the NPC pick was a smart move. iSuck then paired him up with yawn, who's a rookie to NALTP in general and who also has the axe, so that's something. Normally when you draft a NALTP rookie with an axe in the auction, it bodes well. FK and Delsolar stick out to me in that regard. I guess yawn impressed enough in tryouts to warrant iSuck going this early for him, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that this defense looks very solid.
OuchMyBalls was definitely a hot prospect this draft, because he has a 2000+ TPM ELO and was on a NIP B-Team. That usually means they're good. I think he'll do just fine at the A-Team level, so that's fine. I'm also pretty cool with D4NK_JUK3R as his O partner. Last season D4NK played B-Team offense with fractal and adawg, so he was kind of like the third wheel, but even then he was top ten in both caps and hold, while also netting the 9.2 OGASP and 83 ONISH, so he should do well with an aggressive OMB.
In the off chance that the offense doesn't gel as much, having aerrow waiting in the wings is a smart move. He's a solid ball with the flag and his O/D is second to none. A good 5th ball pick there.
The team's ceiling is through the roof if they all pan out. I feel like OMB is the only person who I'm fully confident in excelling at the A-Team level, while the other three I'm kind of sure but not really. Even then, the fact that iSuck drafted them is a boost to their credibility and my confidence, so I immediately love this team. After the last time I ranked BAP, I'd rather not fall off the BAP train as quickly.
GRADE : 9.0 / 10
