This is an upgraded OKC team, a team that took 73 win GSW to seven games. Around KD and Russell Westbrook I have added elite spacing which they didn't have at a time. I got good threepoint shooters in Hersey Hawkins, PJ Tucker, Kevin Durant, Manu Ginobili and good midrange shooters in Elton Brand and Nick Collison. The spacing will open up the paint for Westbrook to slash. Manu Ginobili will be a secondary ballhandler to take pressure of Westbrook. Rudy Gobert should work really well with this core since he plays kind of similar to Steven Adams and he will set screens/do pick and roll/ catch lobs etc... Elton brand gives us elite post player and midrange shooter.

The Bench
Everyone on the bench is an elite roleplayer and can spread the floor

Defense

I think everyone on my team is an elite defender or a good one. Yes including Russell Westbrook when he is locked in

Matchup
Hard to do a writeup when Janmagn hasn't finished drafting or making roster page so I'll keep this short

straight forward matchups

Rudy on Ewing
Elton on Dirk
Durant on Thabo
Manu on Penny
Westbrook on Fred Hoiberg

as of now I got some serious depth advantage so that should be enough to win

[euroleague]

Westbrook on Hoidberg

The end

Roddy advances by default.
