I would probably go with number 3. Doncic, Arvydas and Pau, I mean geezuz.

Team 2 is probably my least favorite, I am surprised its leading the poll. backcourt is just very lacking.

Team 2. You have 4 elite shooters + Giannis, and you have Jokic to create. Team 3 is probably more talented overall, but the fit is not as good because Sabonis and Pau are both drop coverage 5's and they can't switch on wings.

I guess the most insightful thing I could say is that team 3 wins if the game is played by FIBA rules, because it's easier to defend with 2 centers sharing the floor, but team 3 is probably the weakest if it's the NBA rules because they would be killed by the shooting and the slashing once Sabonis or Pau end up having to defend any of those guys on the perimeter.

Dirk Nowitzki, Toni Kukoc, Drazen Petrovic, Tony Parker, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Peja Stojakovic, Bojan Bogdanovic, Vassilis Spanoulis: all these guys would cook Sabonis or Pau all night long, and one of them would have to defend 1 of these all night.

Team 3. Doncic, Sabonis, Galis, and Pau, it's great spacing and skill everywhere. Bodiroga is a well sized winger that will be the x factor.

Would be fun to see Doncic & Galis have their own personal exhibition of offensive skill or playing off each other in two-man game, who's gonna stop them ?

Considering worst Team 3 player right now would be Luka I have to choose this one.

I like team 3 options. Not the strongest in defense, but on offense... buff, TOO MUCH TALENT.

Galis, Bodiroga and Doncic would drive any team crazy.

Who guards Doncic? Team 2 could put Giannis on Doncic, but then who guards Pau? If you put Jokic on Pau, who guards Sabonis?

Team 1 has no one that can guard Doncic.

Galis, Sabonis and Bodiroga on the same team? With Luka as the 4th option? And we're still discussing it?

Team 2 easily. Jokic + Giannis + sharpshooters would be an unbeatable combo.

They have the most talent (they are the only team with with 2 MVP-level players on it), and their players fit together like a glove.

- Giannis is one of the most physically dominant bigmen of all time, and an all-time great defender.
- Jokic is the best passing big of all time and one of the most dynamic scoring bigs of all time.
- Peja is one of the best shooters of all time.
- Bojan is another elite shooter.

That would be a historically good team, not just among Euros, but among all basketball teams.

Team 1. No one would be able to stop that offense, the thought of Dirk with that much help is terrifying
