Denver Nuggets:

PG - Mike Conley Jr
SG - O.J. Mayo
SF -
PF - Carlos Boozer
C - Kevin Garnett

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

That back court didn't really shine in Memphis. Maybe use a Mayo as a sixth man? I like Boozer and KG. Each does well at what the other doesn't. Pretty complimentary. Still with KG minutes are an issue so you need a good backup 4/5.

O.J/Conley didn't shine in MEM due to the need for scoring off the bench. Thus, TA was moved to starter to balance offensive production - similar to what OKC has with James Harden.

With MY lineup, O.J gets plenty of touches..he is easily the number 1 or 2 choice offensively for us.
Mayo didn't get moved to the bench for more scoring punch. He was getting outplayed by Allen because the team needed more possession creation and defense from their SG position.

I do think Mayo will be better than his past two years if you're giving him a starting role and touches. He responded incredibly poorly to being move to a combo guard scorer role from the pine.

Is there any way I can buy a Roy H insight for a TP? I kind of need some to be able to know what to do moving forward.

I love Kyrie Irving.  I think he's the next superstar PG in the NBA.  He'll never distribute like Rondo or Nash, but I think he'll eventually be a Derrick Rose type:  he'll score a ton of points efficiently, and he'll get you 8 assists or so.


Love Kyrie as well.  I liken him more to Chris Paul than Rose b/c he plays more with his bball IQ than sheer explosiveness like Rose.  Also more comparable in the aspect of 3 point shooting.  Rose has certainly made huge strides in his 3 point shooting, but I still would play him more for the drive whereas Kyrie and CP have to be played more honestly behind the arc.

Well, I suppose that this lineup choice will be judged with more clarity once O.J. has played a few games in DAL, then.

Kyrie Irving
Thaddeus Young
Anthony Randolph
Andrew Bogut.

I mean, that's a very solid defensive crew. Youngsters and can run the floor. Not bad right?

Beyond Bogut, I don't see the defense.

Young is a better PF then SF and a better PF then Randolph.

With the question marks around Wall and Lopez, could be the ultimate "told you so" team.

Really? Young is a solid perimeter defender. Randolph is a pretty good shot blocker and good on the passing lanes.

Love the dynamics of my team. Pick and roll with Melo Rubio/pick and pop. Pick and roll/pop with Bargs. Ibaka Shot blocker/help side defender. High scoring offense. Love this team Gomes and I have put together. Plus we have three 5th round picks coming up. Good spot to be in.

I cringe at the fact that Ibaka alone will have to handle the defense in your frontcourt. He's not Tyson Chandler unfortunately, he's gonna have a battle on the front court.
