Sabonis will take on Jokic. I think Sabonis has the tools and understanding to provide as good of coverage as anyone can on Jokic.
Giannis will cover Horford, this will allow him to Stay closer to the basket/paint being this is not 3pt shooting horford. This is Atlanta center horford. This will allow for Giannis to help onto Joker and still recover to Al if needed. DPOY Giannis with the ability to roam is dangerous.
Jones will defend Allen. Jones was 3rd in DPOY voting and an elite defender. HE will be tasked with the biggest wing threat on Lambeers team.
Miller will take Middleton which should allow me to hide miller a bit more due to Middleton being more of a finesse player than a bruiser that should be OK for Reggie.
Billups will take on Stockton.
Offensively I think I have a great team here. I have great spacing around an unstoppable PF in Giannis.
Billups is a clutch elite shooter with over 40% on volume from deep
Jones is a shooter/slasher
Reggie is an alltime elite shooter
Sabonis was older, but the precursor to Joker with he passing, and more importantly on this team, his ability to space the floor from deep.
My bench is very good as well, with all players being very usefull.
Andersen as a vertical spacer/rebounder athlete
Wright as a do it all glue guy
Hayward as a do it all high skill player.
