I think the general rule here is if the guy was on an all star team he can't be on this team. It's your favorite guys, not best.

F Eric Williams
C Eric Montross
F Kurt Rhambis
G Avery Bradley
G Sherman Douglas

bench
Dino Radja
Darius Songalia
Jay Williams
Mike Bibby
Jason Williams

I think that team would compete for an 8 seed

Cool question. TP for the idea.

My list will skew modern.

Hinrich, D. Green, Dudley, Diaw,  Perk (pre-injury)

Diaw, Perk, and Dudley. Excellent.

Maybe I should have put Leon Powe on my list

I wasn't sure what you meant by "not great", so I tried to limit my team to back-up bench players:

PG - Avery Bradley
SG - Marcus Smart
SF - Evan Turner
PF - David Lee
PF - Amir Johnson
--Bench---
PG - Isaiah Thomas
PF - Jared Sullinger
PF - Kelly Olynyk
SF - Jae Crowder
C - Tyler Zeller
PF - Jonas Jerebko
SG - James Young

I guess David Lee doesn't count, because he made two all-star teams....   So bump up Sullinger.

I'll have to break these guys down into two teams and watch them play each other:


Guards/Swings
Sherman Douglas
Ricky Davis
Delonte West
Brent Barry
Andre Miller
Marquis Daniels
Jae Crowder

Frontcourt/Bigs
Eric Williams
Danny Fortson
Leon Powe
Dereck Strong
Don Reid
Jerome Williams
Michael Ruffin
Brian Scalabrine
Chris Wilcox
Jason Maxiell
Ryan Gomes
Amir Johnson
Chuck Hayes
Gary Trent
Rodney Rogers
Patrick Ewing, Jr.



Yup, we're very light on guards and have way too many undersized bigs with limited skill sets.  Still if you split these guys up into two teams and pitted them against each other, I'd watch the heck out of this game.  What can I say, I'm a sucker for undersized players who play hard.

Mike Bibby

I wondered why my friends were yelling at Bibby during the 2008 first round. I think he was just bitter from playing for teams where attendance never went past 75% even in good years  ;D

The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.
