Horrible defensive backcourt (they could barely defend with the best defensive center in the game behind them), and no starter level players in the frontcourt. I love Vando and think he'll be very important to them as the team is currently configured. But this is going to be the worst defense in the NBA, and only an average offense. That's the recipe for a high lottery pick.

I agree that they have 7 guys that would be on just about every NBA rotation (Mitchell, Conley, Bogdanovic, Beverly, Beasley, Vanderbilt, Clarkson) then Gay, NAW, and Azubuike would all probably be getting minutes on most teams too. The biggest problem is that most of those guys are guards.
