Rotation
Sikma (33) / Oak (15)
Giannis (38) Oak (10)
Pierce (38) / Butler (10)
Butler (28) / Hinrich (12) / Snell (8)
Conley (35) / Hinrich (13)

Write-up
Our Giannis-centric team complete with All Stars at every position is filled with players who've succeeded at the highest levels in similar supporting roles. Our perimeter players all shot the 3 effectively in their chosen seasons with Butler at 38%, Pierce at 39%, Snell at 40%, and Conley/Hinrich both at 41%. While not being 3pt snipers (mostly an effect of era) both Sikma and Oakley were very effective shooting away from the basket. In addition to spacing we feature high IQ playmaking in Conley/Butler/Sikma/Hinrich to capitalize on Giannis' physical prowess early and often.
