Now that I have my starters + 6th man, anyone want to give their thoughts on the Clippers?
Team is as follows:
PG: Steph Curry / Deron Williams
SG: Michael Redd
SF: Grant Hill
PF: Elton Brand
C: Joakim Noah
I see this team as a very very souped up version of the 2011 Chicago Bulls.
Noah still in place.
A better all-star caliber version of a then above average PF who can play set ball screens, play inside, and make long jumpers.
A better version of a jack of all trades SF who's caling card largely is defense, but can do it all.
A much better version of whoever they used to roll out at SG.
A better version of an MVP point guard.
I know the team comparison doesn't sound great, but I actually liked that team and all your upgrades are significant. I think in this game of superstars, you really have to think seriously about the reduced roles every player will have and I think comparisons I laid out is pretty close to the roles your players would adapt in your team. And I like them. Making sure we don't lose sight of how much better of an MVP, offensive engine Curry is than Rose.
