Matchups:
Lets go straight up here.
Kyle Lowry on Garland - Lowry is a tenacious defender and this chosen season is aruably his absolute peak physically.
Danny Green on Jason Kidd - Green has the size, speed and defensive chops to stick on this version of Kidd who is more of a pass setter and 3pt corner shooter. While at time poke his hands in on Dirk and he certainly has the speed to recover back to Kidd on the wing.
Kawhi Leonard on Butler - All around monster defensively Kawhi can take anything that Jimmy attempts and just gobble that **** up and spit it out.
Pascal Siakam on Dirk - As good of a defender against Dirk as one can ask for. Great legnth and some awesome speed and athleticism to contest.
Bam on Allen - Bam is an awesome defender whose main task will be keeping allen off the boards.
Defense overall for my team is elite. And super versatile and switchable. There is no weak points to hunt out with multiple players capable of defending 1-4 and a few guys capable of defending 1-5.
Offense:
I have awesome synergy with 4 guys who won a championship together and adding Bam, a floor spacing versatile passing center and Odom off the bench.
Versatility is key here with clear roles defined.
Versatility:
My offense obviously is built around Kawhi, and it fits like a glove. Lowry is the primary playmaker with Leonard, Siakam, Bam, Odom and Wright all capable of being secondary playmakers.
I can bom away from outside:
Lowry 39% on 7 attempts, Green 45.5% on 5.5 attempts, Kawhi 37% on 5 attempts, Siakam 37% on 2.7 attempts, Bam 36% on 3 attempts, Wright 37% on 2 attempts, Odom 38% on 2 attempts. More of a modern high efficiency flowing offense. This team will force roddys team to play defense in space.
Attacking weak points:
Garland and Dirk are weaker defenders at this stage of their careers.
Garland is below average and he needs to try and cover a 21ppg player in Lowry or a much larger (6 inch taller) 45.5% 3pt shooter in Green. Either way Garland will give up points.
Dirk: Dirk is going to have to cover Siakam. Who was a force in the finals against the Warriors. He can outrun dirk, out athleticism dirk and can spread him out. Defensively Dirk has to defend out to the 3pt line and he has no chance of containing Siakam on the dribble drive. This forces the defense to shift and with everyone on the team being very good to awesome 3pt shooters as well as willing passers, this turns good looks into great looks into easy points.
TL/DR
Elite defense for me
Weak points to attack on Roddy
Synergy baby
