We were the 4th pick at IRI last year and played in all 3 of our QF matches. Our partners did have problems but we would have been in to block 148's full court shooting either way.

The divisions are very deep with teams that can really help an alliance. There may only be a few world class power forwards but there is no shortage of teams that can help get to three assists and play defense. The 4ths on a lot of alliances will get playing time for a variety of reasons. On the top seeds it makes sense to draft two teams with similar abilities. They can give them both a chance in the QFs and figure out which one fits better with the other two robots. Lower seeds might draft for riskier strategies such as catching or a robot with a lot of potential but lacks consistency.
