Writeup:

Good luck SP.

I think we match up very well defensively here. We have plus defenders for all of his main offensive weapons. Bryant, Dunn, and Erving will all rotate onto VC giving him a fresh defensive counter constantly. On the other end, VC is ill equipped to defend any of my perimeter players. Lopez similarly should struggle with Kemp. Our Bryant/Erving duo overall should push us through here.

[Zion Wembanyama]

Lopez will bring Rainman to the perimeter, allowing us to drive to the rim with no post defense.

Snell probably has more individual talent, but I prefer the way SP's team works as a unit offensively (Snell's fit isn't bad at all, but I love SP's). Both perimeter trios are terrific. I'm more worried about Billups guarding Magic than Vince on Doc, although Billups can attack Magic off the dribble as well. Squid is a great cover for Kobe. Lopez is a problem for Kemp because he has to be guarded well beyond 24 feet, and the Vince/Siakam forward duo makes it harder for Doc and RoCo to help at the rim. SP's bench is considerably better.

I am going Tony Snell,

I really think a backcourt with minimal shooting ability can’t be successful...
SuperPowered has the better team, but it’s that spacing, alongside the limited ability he has as a rim protector (BroLo is good but not great)
This means SP will be working a lot harder to get high percentage shots, and I don’t think I trust his tallent that much over Jon’s.

Sorry was voting in both and got names confused, stick with the pick though.

It was tough, your team is definetly strong and potent, just not for my palate.
I think, with what we know now, you need at least 1 shooter in the backcourt who can space it to the 3...

I think Magic and Vince make more sense together than Kobe and Erving, and Tony’s defense and rebounding will be compromised with his only big man Kemp running out to Lopez. Overall I see SP’s starting talent making a bit more sense, and I prefer his bench as I’ll take Aminu over the younger Dunn who is a 4 on 5 offense guy. Vote Super Powered

Bigs are a weakness for both teams here.

It’s a strange matchup but I think I’ll go with Snell. I love Magic but I’m not sold on that group around him. Moncrief’s lack of shooting stands out here.

It’s a strange matchup but I trust Snell’s group a bit better. Kemp can be a kinda-sorta rim protector and without a good enough center from SP I don’t see it as a weakness that can be exploited.

Snell’s bench is one of the worst I’ve seen in these games. If SP had a better one I think he’d be able to take this.

Come on now, historically I've assembled bench trios that would lose to this trio by 20

Love the fit on SP's team. Sidney is not going to space the floor for magic but the rest of the starters will with Vince, Siakam and Lopez being fine three point shooters. The fastbreak should be fun with athletic freaks in Siakam and Vince catching lobs or bombing from three.

Tony has a great team as well with multiple ball handlers and scorers and better overall defenders but his defense takes a bit of a hit since he doesn't really have a center in the starting lineup so its going to be really hard to protect the rim imo with guys like Magic and Siakam who love scoring in the post.

Tony will also give SP problems since Magic and Vince are not great defenders and Lopez will most likely be in trouble dealing with Kemp

in the end I think its going to be harder containing SP than vice versa

vote SP

[Hooplah]

Not a good matchup for Snell, going up against a bigger frontcourt that still can shoot. SP also has more depth.
