A championship level team full of non shooters in 2021

[HypeMode]

We just saw the 2020 Lakers win a championship on a team with non shooters. No one could shoot 3s on that team

Rondo
LeBron
Green
AD
Dwight

No shooters there

[Up-And-Coming]

Simmons
Butler
DeRozan
Antetokounmpo
Gobert

Wall
Rubio
Williamson
Dr. Green
Nurkic

Who’s Doctor Green?

You cant win with 3 all star if they arent All NBA players, even if they are good shooters, just this season the Jazz will show that its real.

But I saw some teams here that I think could do

My 5 man rotation would be:

Simmons
Butler
DeRozan
Zion
Giannis

Dont care about the reserves, this team would have 3 great defenders in Butler, Simmons and Giannis, freakish athleticism, and an insane amount of playmakers, Simmons is a great passer, Butler and DeRozan are showing they can be effectively the primary ball handlers of their teams, they are 11th and 12th is assits per game with 7.2 each, while averaging just 1.9 and 2.1 turnovers, its better than a lot of prized PGs, Zion and Giannis would make any team life a living hell in transition. If they develop a well rounded halfcourt game they could do with savvy passing and great defense.

Lebron shot 37% on the playoffs, Rajon Rondo 40%, AD 38%, I think its pretty good coming from the 3 most important players on the title run

They shot a combined 38% on 12 attempts per game.

We already saw the outcome of a team like this, when Jimmy Butler, Dewayne Wade and Rajon Rondo played together on the Bulls. That's as high of a level of non-shooting talent assembled in this era and they finished as an 8th seed.

I think you can do better than old man Wade and a role player

And you didn't mention Green who's like the typical 3+D guy everybody wants. No idea what that dude is talking about

They were on their way to sweeping the #1 seed before Rondo got hurt.

Well, for his carreer he is, but if we look only the title run it was ugly as hell, he shot bad from anywhere on the court But I dont remember people letting Danny Green open to shoot, even if he was stinking

Bam
Giannis
Butler
DD
Simmons


This SL would be championship caliber imo. Just good enough mid range shooters surrounding giannis/ben to make it work, plus plenty of playmaking and every guy can create their own shot. Defensively, they would be elite as well. The only thing that doesnt work is the contracts.
