Here is a quick list of what you need in your writeup.

1. Specific years for each player on your team
2. Rotations and minutes for each player
3. Reasoning as to why your team will win and/or why people should vote for you.

Do not vote in this thread until both managers have submitted their writeups. Once the writeups are posted, I will add a poll, and the team with the most votes after 24 hours will advance. EACH MANAGER SHOULD ALSO VOTE FOR THEIR OWN TEAM IN THE POLL - IF YOU FAIL TO DO THIS, YOU ARE SIMPLY GIVING AWAY A VOTE. If the votes are tied, we will decide the matchup via AI vote.

You are not required to state or explain your vote, but you are free to comment in the thread if you want to.

If writeups aren't posted within 24 hours, we will vote solely based on the players they have drafted (and any rotations they have posted on their roster page).

Our team has great shooters, defenders, and players who don’t need the ball all the time

We’ve got guys like Wemby, AD, Bell, and Iguodala who can make life really hard for Magic and Drexler, both inside and outside.

Our team moves the ball well, has good spacing, and doesn’t rely too much on just one or two players to score.

Starters
C - David Robinson (1995-96)

PF - Clifford Robinson (1998-99)

SF - Danny Green (2013-14)

SG - Clyde Drexler (1991-92)

PG - Magic Johnson (1990-91)

Bench
F - Robert Horry (1999-00)

G - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (2022-23)

G - Kris Dunn (2024-25)

Rotations
C - D. Robinson (40), C. Robinson (8)
PF - C. Robinson (28), Horry (20)
SF - Green (28), Drexler (14), Johnson (6)
SG - Drexler (24), KCP (24)
PG - Johnson (34), Dunn (14)

FGA Per Player


As Magic teams do, we focus on pushing the ball off makes and misses, and we've given Magic the perfect running mates in D-Rob and Clyde who are both devastating transition finishers. Cliffy is another athlete who gets a boost from playing alongside Magic, while Green is a lethal weapon trailing the break for threes. In the halfcourt, we have one of the GOAT offensive hubs in Magic; he can score for himself off the dribble and in the post, but more importantly his ability to create easy looks for others at the rim will maximise both D-Rob and Clyde, not to mention opening things up for shooters like Green, KCP, Cliffy, and Horry. Defensively, D-Rob controls the paint, allowing our rangy wings and guards who can play more aggressively on the perimeter. Green, Dunn, KCP, Cliffy, and Horry give us great perimeter size and versatility, allow us to keep Magic out of unfavourable matchups.

Matchup
- Initial assignments will be Green-Billups, Clyde-Bell, Magic-Batum, Cliffy-Wemby, D-Rob-AD. Cliffy is a solid counter for Wemby as he's strong enough to root him out of the post, but also mobile enough to deny him the open three. Green/KCP/Dunn give us good size to handle Billups at the point of attack.
- Magic should have a strong series here, as only Iguodala is big and strong enough to bother him. Between him and Clyde, we have a sizeable edge in perimeter dynamism as both are superior to Billups.
- Both teams will have to work really hard to score in the halfcourt, so our dominance in transition should give us a competitive advantage in this series.

Good luck iamgine.
