Demarre Carroll (9 pts, 4 reb)

Timofey Mozgov (7pts, 5 reb)

Horrible fits together, no off the dribble creator, no outside shooting.

Noteable exceptions: Noah (only played 46 games), Derrick Rose, Jordan Clarkson (not enough games started), Reggie Jackson, TJ McConnell, Aaron Aflalo (only 45 games started), Ben Mclemore (only 26 gs)


Decent defensively.

Tinseltown wrote:Right now the rest of the league is going small so I'm going to try and counter that by loading up on as many slow centers as possible. I drew a lot of inspiration for this plan from Sam Hinkie and I think I've managed to concoct a lineup that would lose to the Warriors by 100.

Noah
Okafaor
Mozgoz
Bojan Bogdanovic
Jaylen Brown (PG)


Brown isn't a point guard, only started 20 games last season, and was actually really good in a starting role. The kid shot 46/40 with a 57ts% and was a +2.....Ingram on the other hand started 40 games, shot 42/29 with a 48ts% and was a -11. So I'd suggest switching out Brown with Ingram as one was much better than the other.

Demarre Carrol got labeled as a 3 + D player and ironically can't shoot 3's or play good defense.

So the question is why on earth he started 72 games when the Raptors had Ross and Norman...

Mudiay
Kilpatrick
S Hill
Sabonis
Len

6th man Hollis-Jefferson

I don't get the people saying Dellevadova. He's a decent player.

RHJ is a decent young player too, elite defensively, and someone who only has two seasons in the NBA.

That would be a horrific team on offense but I would expect them to be elite defensively and rebounding/hustle wise.

He should get better but he was really bad offensively last year. I just felt the Nets deserved 2 players on my list for finishing dead last overall.

Ya. He literally picked 5 good defensive players to his lineup.

I personally think Sabonis was the worst rotation player in the league last season. Horrible in just about every aspect of the game but overlooked because he was a rookie. He should be the obvious choice at PF.

"elite" is strong. Carroll is old and can barely run. Amir is also crazy old and injured most of the time. Mozgov is too slow for the modern game. Delly and RHJ are decent players but not when they are the starting backcourt.

They are all plus defenders.
