 The team is awesome, but only Lowry is a true point, Irving is a little scorer, Cousins and Jordan are true bigs.

 The rest of the roster can guard and play multiple positions, maybe the most versatile team in USA history.

 A reflection of the times I suppose, with the current state of NBA basketball.

The irony is that the NBA is actually really shallow at the swing positions.  The teams that can stockpile 6-5'' - 6'10'' guys who can shoot the three and defend 2-4 or 3-5 are at a huge advantage.

 Really Shallow at the swing? Let's use Celtic Blog power to list all the guys you would love to have on the Celtics, Roster size be dammed.

Take it from a guy who has with rather embarassing frequency put together 30-team fantasy drafts for the purposes of playing NBA 2k.  You run out of quality wings fast  -- especially if you're building the team with the idea of having 5-6 wings in your rotation.
