The thought process for our pick list as far as shooting goes is limited to this:
Since I wasn't very clear, here is a recap of the conversation I had with Josh. I have a feeling Dr Bot's thoughts were along these lines when he posted:

Background: Josh and I were discussing the LookingForward preview that predicted 67 and 469 would get together at Howell, at which point I said something like:

"This game is different from past games in that you have to try not to get too enamored with picking the best offensive team available. If you're a good shooter, you don't need another shooter because you can shoot and there's only one ball. You need someone who can inbound well, has a fast floor pick up, can pass well, doesn't foul, etc. The only criteria for shooting is if they can make their autonomous shot and maybe shoot in a pinch in case the defense has you tied up, or make a truss pass if you want to do that. There's no reason for an alliance captain that's a good shooter to need another good high-volume shooter. With that being said, if you're afraid that the best shooter on the board can beat you, then you should pick them just to get them off the board."
