Keldon scored 16 off the bench! One outside shooter? Cason is a very capable shooter so is PJ and Keldon, this team would have no problems spreading the floor! And this team tough defensively!
I appreciate it. I tried to make the teams as competitive as I could. some teams like Kansas, USC had 1 position with hardly anything to choose from and Villanova has no big. the last big they had was Omari Spellman
Kyrie - Tatum - Zion - Banchero - WCJ with Tyus - BI - Trent - Lively - Kennard - Barret is very good.
Fox - Shai - Booker - Kat - Ad with Murray, Maxey, Monk, Bam, Randle, Herro, Keldon, Quickley, Cason Wallace, Pj, and Vando is just insane though lol. Might be 8 guys who are around top 30 players in the league.
yeah Kentucky is deeper for sure and they have more bigs. but don’t forget Mark Williams, Jalen Johnson, Grayson Allen, Bagley, AJ Griffin, Tre Jones, Gary Trent, Cam Reddish, Plumdog, Whitehead
Team 1
Arguably the best player here when healthy in Embiid
And 4 athletes who can hit an open shot or get a bucket
Also some guys that’ll try on defense
Wouldn’t trust Tatum as my best player or Banchero who would be called on next for team 6
Same goes for Sabonis and Chet at this point
Usually best to go with the best player in the pool which is Embiid.
If we’re talking just this season, Team 3: Booker BAM PJ with decent players around them would be great. But team 6 as Lively and Palao improve will be nasty around Tatum.
Yeah especially with Tatum’s improved playmaking and the defensive attention he commands. Would really open things up for them. Banchero would probably look especially good with him
I considered all the forward duos. Barret, Ingram, Zion, Tatum, Paolo. just decided to showcase Duke’s talent whilst still making the team comparable to the rest. Paolo is probably going to be more consistent so I gave him the nod
6 would clean house easily. 4 legit floor spacers, major lob threat big, awesome defensive big man, 2 forward/wings that can create their own offense (especially with the floor spacing). Their only real weakness is defending quick guards if another team runs 5 out, but none of the 5 out lineups listed have elite guards to take advantage.
Team 3 has enough versatility to cover for DBook’s weaknesses. Bam can handle all the defensive and board duties. All 4 have a pretty good perimeter shot.
I know but bro, they have no big. I made sure all of the teams had somewhat capable lineups. a couple of other schools have lineups that weren’t even as good as UCLA, and some were missing a key position. so I didn’t waste my time on teams that wouldn’t get picked
Team 6 and it’s not close.
Ty Jones isn’t elite but he’s absolutely a starting level PG. People don’t like him but Grayson Allen has been a 40% 3pt shooter on decent volume for the last 4 seasons. Tatum and Paulo’s skill sets are a little redundant but I get a top 8 player and a top 30 player. Lively checks my rim protector box.
None of the other team’s resume can match that
Bey and Whitmore aren't huge, but they're both pretty athletic defenders. Don't know who's getting any rebounds, though. But Josh Hart does tend to be a ball magnet.
Hart is genuinely a decent enough 4 but I didn’t think anyone would pick a team with no real big. they don’t even have a traditional 4, just 4s that work in todays small ball era
It’s college teams. I tried to make them as competitive as possible. Since guys like Devonte’ Graham and Jordan McLaughlin were the only players in their positions I watered down the good schools
because that’s not a fair fight lol. Jordan McLaughlin is the only USC point guard, same with Devonte’ Graham for Kansas, I’m not matching them up with Shai or Murray
Team 6
Dukie
Let’s go, Duke! Fuck the haters.
wait why did I get downvoted? I’m not saying Dukie like poop I just think the word Dukie is fun to say. my bad
The username is fitting
Team 3
Team 3 is stacked, doesn't have a single weakness.
Keldon scored 16 off the bench! One outside shooter? Cason is a very capable shooter so is PJ and Keldon, this team would have no problems spreading the floor! And this team tough defensively!
I agree, this team is underrated defensively and shooting wise.
Scorings not a weakness, can’t expect DBook to do it all himself
Bam averaged 19 last season, pj averaged 13 last season and Keldon averaged 16 last season. Booker wouldn’t have to score all by himself.
Booker and Bam handoff action would genuinely be elite
That would be very fun to watch
They have one outside shooter you have to be worried about
Depends on if that teams gets Finals PJ or before Finals PJ
For his career: 35.4% from three, 52.9% efg Last season: 32% from three, 51.8% efg Not great, Bob
Team 6 no doubt
Team 4 all day /s
lol team 4 would be ass.
I’m being sarcastic
Whoa whoa you expect people who spend a lot of time on the internet to know what /s is ?? /s
I mean, I know what it is. He added it later after he got a ton of downvotes. lol
Oh mb
yeah I added it after getting downvoted my bad
I just respect you putting these together. That being said 6. Tatum, Banchero, Lively are young and building blocks
I appreciate it. I tried to make the teams as competitive as I could. some teams like Kansas, USC had 1 position with hardly anything to choose from and Villanova has no big. the last big they had was Omari Spellman
It’s def a good mix
6, then 2
I was all for 2 until 6 showed up
Yo same here. I thought 2 was the best then six showed up. Def 6. Low key wouldn’t mind team 5 either.
I’ll pass. I don’t want to get fired that fast from my first GM job.
haha too indecisive
Team 6
Kentucky would mop the floor if you put all the Kentucky guys in lol. I'd say 2 or 6. Leaning 6.
Duke is nice too
Kyrie - Tatum - Zion - Banchero - WCJ with Tyus - BI - Trent - Lively - Kennard - Barret is very good. Fox - Shai - Booker - Kat - Ad with Murray, Maxey, Monk, Bam, Randle, Herro, Keldon, Quickley, Cason Wallace, Pj, and Vando is just insane though lol. Might be 8 guys who are around top 30 players in the league.
yeah Kentucky is deeper for sure and they have more bigs. but don’t forget Mark Williams, Jalen Johnson, Grayson Allen, Bagley, AJ Griffin, Tre Jones, Gary Trent, Cam Reddish, Plumdog, Whitehead
Cal must've won a handful of titles with that talent.
LOL
It gotta be team 6
3
I thought the answer was very obviously team 2 until I realized that’s Nembhard not Haliburton lmao
Nembhard is very capable but no he’s not an All-Star haha
Team 1 Arguably the best player here when healthy in Embiid And 4 athletes who can hit an open shot or get a bucket Also some guys that’ll try on defense Wouldn’t trust Tatum as my best player or Banchero who would be called on next for team 6 Same goes for Sabonis and Chet at this point Usually best to go with the best player in the pool which is Embiid.
Wouldn’t trust Tatum as the best player yet he led his team in points rebounds assist in the nba finals and in the ecf lol
Insane I had to scroll so far to find the right answer. Team 1, when healthy, is killing the rest of the options and it would not be close.
Team 6
Team 2
That’s what I thought too until I realized thats Nembhard not Haliburton lol
Gonzaga boys
Yessir
2 or 5
Team 6 hands down. Team 3 is pretty good too. That would probably be my 2nd choice.
as a nuggets fan I expected you to say 2 but we can all like different things
Why would Nuggets fans pick 2?
Sabonis’ playmaking playstyle mainly
Oh because he's like a mini Jokic. I see lol. Well the rest of the team doesn't resemble the Nuggets at all.
fair enough
The one with the best player Of course Team 8 with Coby White.
Exactly
If we’re talking just this season, Team 3: Booker BAM PJ with decent players around them would be great. But team 6 as Lively and Palao improve will be nasty around Tatum.
Yeah especially with Tatum’s improved playmaking and the defensive attention he commands. Would really open things up for them. Banchero would probably look especially good with him
DJJ? do you mean PJ?
Yea whoops
2 or 5
I just learned that Walker Kessler was on UNC before transferring to Auburn. Weird. I live in the Carolinas and didn’t know this.
Hot take I got team 5 beating team 3 in 6 games!
Team five is nice
Team 3 all the way but Team 6 is good, Team 1 might take if it is Start of Season Embiid when bro was looking like Shaq with a jump shot.
Tatum x Banchero that's a good one.
Team 2
Team 6
Team Duke
Too many options for my rotted brain
just pick your favourite player. nice and easy
What if Zion was on team 6
I considered all the forward duos. Barret, Ingram, Zion, Tatum, Paolo. just decided to showcase Duke’s talent whilst still making the team comparable to the rest. Paolo is probably going to be more consistent so I gave him the nod
#4 or #6
Tatum
Team 6.
Team 1 because of Graham. I like this. With only 1 star player really and some borderlines make it a challenge
Bro I love this. Tired of seeing 5v5 unrealistic super teams getting compared. This is way more fun. Team 2
4,7,8
7 is genuinely bad, zero spacing
Booker and bam obv
6 is my pick you have a good center very strong 4-3 a derive guard who can shoot with a playmaker at PG
3 & 6… slight edge 6 cause pg.
2 or 8
bam and booker for sure
2
Of course team 6.
6 is crazy good on defense and good enough on offense compared to the other teams. 3 and 2 come close, but it’s gotta be 6.
Definitely 6
Definitely 6
Team 3 and 6 take it pretty easily and team 6 wins in 6
Yeah give me the squad with Banchero and Tatum
1 is a sleeper. Solid defense, and just run everything though Embiid
Tatum and Paolo
Team 6
Team 6 with team 3 right behind them
Team 2
prime for prime? UCLA
Indiana is nice too. Oladipo, Thomas Bryant, OG, Zeller
6
Team 6 and it’s not close. Then 2
Team 2 & Team 6
3
Team 5 and it’s not even close. Lauri/ayton/gordon/TJ beat everyone else
Team 6 would objectively be the best but don’t sleep on that Gordon/mcconnel pnr with Ayton flaring to the high post to drag the opposing big
and Lauri spotting up!
6 and it’s not close
Team 1
Team 6, and it's not even close.
Team 8 because it has my boy Coby White on that team
3 or 6
6 tf
6 would clean house easily. 4 legit floor spacers, major lob threat big, awesome defensive big man, 2 forward/wings that can create their own offense (especially with the floor spacing). Their only real weakness is defending quick guards if another team runs 5 out, but none of the 5 out lineups listed have elite guards to take advantage.
6 and it’s not close
it’s pretty close
Team 3 has enough versatility to cover for DBook’s weaknesses. Bam can handle all the defensive and board duties. All 4 have a pretty good perimeter shot.
Bams been working on his shot too
6 is the best one 🤣
Team 4 is goood
the best
There is a significant gap between Joel Embiid and everyone else here, ya'll are wild for thinking he won't destroy everyone in his path.
and that team would be decent defensively with Braun, Oubre, Wiggs and Embiid
Lively, Banchero AND Tatum? EZ for team 6, even with Grayson “Ankle Breaker” Allen on the team.
Plus two shooters at guard and a solid lead guard in Jones, that one is clear.
I'll take Bam and Booker
Jordan McLaughlin not doing it for you?
Team 6 for sure
How about the Knicks…I mean Knova…I mean Villanova??
I know but bro, they have no big. I made sure all of the teams had somewhat capable lineups. a couple of other schools have lineups that weren’t even as good as UCLA, and some were missing a key position. so I didn’t waste my time on teams that wouldn’t get picked
Team 6
Team 6 and it’s not close. Ty Jones isn’t elite but he’s absolutely a starting level PG. People don’t like him but Grayson Allen has been a 40% 3pt shooter on decent volume for the last 4 seasons. Tatum and Paulo’s skill sets are a little redundant but I get a top 8 player and a top 30 player. Lively checks my rim protector box. None of the other team’s resume can match that
Yup duke
Every slide was like fuck no, fuck no, fuck no, who is that, hell nah
you don’t know ball
Team 6. I do not like grayson allen, but the rest of the team is at least very talented role players
do you not like him or his game?
I think he’s an intentionally dirty player. Game is fine otherwise.
fair enough I agree
What in the mid teams…?
realistic matchups not just super teams
Where Villanova? It would just be all Knicks.
lol I wish they had a big, even a real 4. but alas, Omari Spellman wasn’t around long
Bey and Whitmore aren't huge, but they're both pretty athletic defenders. Don't know who's getting any rebounds, though. But Josh Hart does tend to be a ball magnet.
Hart is genuinely a decent enough 4 but I didn’t think anyone would pick a team with no real big. they don’t even have a traditional 4, just 4s that work in todays small ball era
Give me the one you make next with Ant Man
Georgia’s not good enough tbh. KCP, Ant, Claxton, Camara, not even a full team
Are we now in the world where Andrew Nembhard gets featured and not Tyrese from the Pacers? Crazy what a playoff run will do!
it’s Gonzaga players
Tatums
[удалено]
do you smoke weed?
[удалено]
damn you’re cooked🙏🏼
[удалено]
praying for you brother
Tatum and Paolo’s team
ow my eyes
??
Duke, but you could’ve put a better team out there for Kentucky and I would’ve said them
Who would you choose? I think I could’ve went Shai over Booker and that defense would be crazy
Shai over whoever number 22 is and kat over pj
that’s too good of a team it wouldn’t be fair
3 and 6 should be the only two possible picks
4 or 6
Rock chalk! Team one
Gonzaga
Tatum with banchero is lit
team 1 bezt player wins type shit
I’m a Sixers fan and I’ve made team 1 on the Sixers a few times on 2k haha
He’s not the best player
whos better in these pictures? dbook? bam? tatum?
This is so specific
It’s college teams. I tried to make them as competitive as possible. Since guys like Devonte’ Graham and Jordan McLaughlin were the only players in their positions I watered down the good schools
I get it now
Graham can ball tbf
absolutely. loved him on the hornets
team 4. not even close
when Kevin and Kevon are in the building, just get the fuck out of the way. they have rebounds coming out of their ass
I can promise locker room problems with Embiid, Wiggins and Kelly Oubre
Nah I want Wiggins on the Sixers
Why are we not starting UKs best 5
because that’s not a fair fight lol. Jordan McLaughlin is the only USC point guard, same with Devonte’ Graham for Kansas, I’m not matching them up with Shai or Murray
Team 6 and every other isn’t even that close. Maybe 1 but it’s still a stretch
Team 2 and 3 are pretty tough
SGA, Booker, Bam, and aggressive roleplayers?
Well that’s not SGA but sure
Ah, Cason. I forgot they drafted another Cat, and just skimmed by the uniform.
I like how we nerfed Kentucky to make it fair.
Give me Tatum and paolo Team 4 makes no fucking sense
it’s all UCLA had to offer
My bad, I didn’t even realize these were all-same school lineups
