So Phoenix never showed up?
PG: Jeff Teague, R.Sessions
SG: OJ Mayo, M.Miller
SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, M.Barnes
PF: David West, J.Sullinger
C: Time Duncan, C.Andersen
End of bench: K.Dooling, M.Bonner, A.Blatche.
Starters
Tim Duncan and David West is one of the best big man combos in the league.
Teague is a real solid starting PG. His speed and dribble penetration will be a strong addition alongside T.Duncan's + D.West's pick and roll/pop and high/low post versatility. Teague's long range shooing also helping to spread the floor.
I don't much like OJ Mayo as a starter. Think he is too weak a defender/rebounder (SG). Good offensive player and third option behind David West + Tim Duncan though. Teague and Mayo will make for a dynamic and exciting backcourt alongside those two golden oldies.
I expect Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to take a good step forward as a defender/rebounder and to be a very strong player in that regard but for his offensive game to continue to struggle. This is a good home for him too. Two highly skilled big men and two guards who can really stroke it. Kidd-Gilchrist's size, athleticism and defensive versatility will be very valuable alongside OJ Mayo.
Bench
The backup big men are exceptional. I think Jared Sullinger is the best backup PF in the West. I am fan of Chris Andersen who gives the team a much needed rim protector while Duncan rests. Then they have Andray Blatche (C/PF) who can create all types of matchup problems off the bench with his size and skill level.
Ramon Sessions is a rock solid backup PG. A strong creator who is very good in the pick and roll. Can create shots for his teammates.
Mike Miller and Matt Barnes are stable backup wings. I would have liked to have seen more quickness in one of these two spots behind OJ Mayo. I think both players are more SF/PFs than SGs nowadays. I think Matt Barnes could finish games for Phoenix instead of Kidd-Gilchrist if he continues to shoot the ball as he did for LAC last season.
Matt Bonner gives them another weapon up front as a three point shooting big. Situational sub. Keyon Dooling as a defensive orientated third string guard. I like the contrast in skill-set they provide from other bench options.
Overall, a very strong bench unit that adds considerable value to the team.
Coach
Rick Adelman. Big fan of Adelman. Phoenix gets another bump from me for head coach.
Overall
Playoff team.
