Build A Supporting Cast

build a supporting cast for a...supporting cast...

Starter:
Gobert is the easy answer, filling just about all of our major needs.

I thought this too, but then I considered the fact that he doesn't really pass, he has no range, and he has no back to the basket game.

I'm not sure.  Gobert is probably the best answer, but it seems like Stevens's offense really needs both big men to have the ability to pass a little bit and shoot a little bit.

That's true, but in this fantasy world he's by far the best player available and fills the most needs for us. Just looking over the options, maybe Serge would be a better fit, but I have my doubts about how much he's capable of contributing at this point. Nic Batum is another really nice player, but we don't exactly have anywhere to play him. I guess we could move Bradley to the bench, but I don't see how that solves more problems than adding Gobert.

3 and D, baby!

If the intetion is win now, I would add Tyson Chandler to the lineup. He brings rim protection and rebounding plus veteran leadership.
Then I would add Terrence Ross, Larry Nance and Chris Andersen.

Thomas - Smart - Jackson
Bradley - Ross - Young
Crowder - Brown - Green
Horford -  Nance Jr - Mickey
Chandler -  Olynyk - Andersen

We have a supporting cast and need our star.

I went with Batum and moved Crowder to the bench.  I think Crowder really should come off the bench.  Doing that, I needed a starting center and went with Greg Monroe, who qualifies as a reserve under these parameters.  I think Monroe would be a pretty solid all around fit for the team and a good match for Horford.

Jokic as starter

That's a good one.  I forgot about Jokic.  He really does everything the Celtics would need.

Ibaka is an interesting choice.  I feel like he accentuates all the current strengths of the team without addressing any of the weaknesses.  That's good and bad.


To all those saying "we have a supporting cast, we need a star!" .... good job missing the point entirely.

Totally forgot about Jokic. I change my pick from Gobert to Jokic; he's a perfect fit.
