You need better playmaking and defense at the point. I would easily replace Irving with Paul or Wall.
Btw, I actually came here today to talk about "Yugoslavian" basketball, with Serbia and Slovenia being in the Euro finals. What would be the current All Star "Yugoslavian" team?
Looks like it would be pretty strong. It would be great to hear your views.
We were discussing it on the Eurobasket thread.
I made a roster, hard to pick the best team.
My 12 (5g/5f/2c) would be:
Dragić (Slovenia) - above average starting NBA PG
Bogdanović (Serbia) - spaces, can defend much better than Teo
Dončić (Slovenia) - the defense would suffer, but he spaces and creates (Kalinić and Cro Bogdanović are my close 2nd choices) recency bias
Šarić (Croatia) - best NBA 4 body out of the bunch, energy guy, passer
Jokić (Serbia) - Point Center, The Joker has many tricks
Teodosić (Serbia) - he can make any offense great.
Bogdanović (Croatia) - spaces, scores, NBA body
Kalinić (Serbia) - can defend, run, good BBIQ and shoot some/corner threes
Teletović (BIH)- spaces as good as anybody, 3 point lineups
Nurkić (BIH)/Marjanović (Serbia)/Vučević (MTNG) - one of the behemoths
Jović
Marković (Serbia)- would be good 4th and 5th guards 1/2.
This squad could realy use defenders to cover combo forwards. Someone like an idealy/perfectly developed Bender. But then again, the passing (especially) and shooting is so sweet, I can't even comprehand. The offense wins championships now and this roster has it.
USA would need a good game to beat them as 1 game is a tricky thing when facing an exposive offense.
