I need some help.
I'm surveying the top 5 role players that every team should have. I'm doing this for a blog that I would like to write and I'm using this idea as my very first topic for it.
I would like your feedback and ideas if it's alright. I'm looking for the top 5 role players. Role players that do a certain thing on the floor, like defense or scoring or rebounding, and elevate his team to success by doing the said role.
Players who, although are only specializing in one or two things, are still a very important part of the team and could not win without them.
Here an example. My top 5 role players.
Jamal Crawford - obviously his scoring is a huge lift for the Clips. His ability to create shots is on an elite level, and he's coming off the bench.
Avery Bradley - his perimeter defense sets the tone for the Celtics overall defense. His on ball pressure is also elite, and it also helps prevent dribble penetration and easy layups for opponent guards
Larry Sanders - while he's not a go to scoring option, his rebounding and shot blocking creates a ton of possessions for the Bucks.
Kenneth Faried - also like Sanders, he creates a lot of possessions for the Nuggets with his rebounding, especially offensively where he gets 4 OR a game. And add his energy all around the court. The Manimal helps Denver to be one of the better teams in the West even without scoring.
Tony Allen - Another very good on ball defender, prevents easy dribble penetration and easy shots.
Who are yours?
Thanks for your help.
