Paul put up 23.5 ppg, 8.5 apg on 51.7 % shooting and hit 7 of 11 3's versus Atlanta this year. Teague can't hold his own against Paul.
Mo Williams is not in Paul's class.
2nd fiddle depends on the matchups. For this series, likely Granger as he played well against Deng this past season. For others Nene. Nene should do fine against McGee or Amare.
As for benches, Carter is a shell of himself. Odom is coming off his worst season. Mo Williams is still Mo Williams. Meanwhile, Ridnour played well as a starter last year in Minnesota. Fields provides energy, defense and scoring. Budinger was one of the best 3 pt shooters in the NBA. Hill provided solid scoring and rebounding last season.
