I wanted my team to be overwhelmingly big and scary. Other than Lugsdin my team is entirely east-coast or east-coast rooted. I think my value is maximized in picking east coasters because of the general west coast bias in Ultimate. You probably don't know about Ken Porter or Thomas Ward, but after watching for a couple minutes you will be asking where athletes like these come from (answer: the wolf den). The problem with those two guys is most teams will spend 4 or 5 points matching up on my big names and big height before they realize Ward has just caught 5 bombs. Yeah, I got some super jump out the box athletes but I also have a bunch of other players who like to land a frizbone on a shot glass from 60 yards in, Dave Snoke, Chris Hinkle, and Josh "Crickett" Marquette. I won't mention the defensive delimma of which way to guard Dylan and Luggy, either way, you should probably play zone. Sure you might have your champions and your callahan winners, but I got a bunch of ballers who are hungy and can smell the turkey being served up. Put that pass up a couple inches to the inside and gobble gobble, D--inner is served with a side of Berkobeans and Inselslaw. I once heard that P-hard threw a flick at a radar gun and was recruited by the Durham Bulls on the spot. Trey's got legs the size of tree trunks and runs on diesel. Brian Lang can knock a man out with just one punch. Long story short: The Kid walks into a bar and can't decide between the Stout or the Porter, so he get both with a shot of Bailey's thinking that all three will help him find the Tunnel he's looking for that night.
