Which tandem is best for next season?

Nikola Jokić / Derrick White
Stephen Curry / Paolo Banchero
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander / Karl-Anthony Towns
Giannis Antetokounmpo / Alperen Şengün
Luka Dončić / Pascal Siakam
Victor Wembanyama / Devin Booker
Anthony Edwards / Jalen Williams
Anthony Davis / Jaylen Brown
Donovan Mitchell / Kevin Durant
Jalen Brunson / Evan Mobley

My gut is Jokic / D. White win this given that they compliment each other the best. Jokic having a 3 & D guy is best of both worlds.

I’d go Jaylen Brown and AD provided they are healthy.

Since both can create offense and are the best defensive tandem.

Kawhi Leonard/Adam Silver

Adam Silver has no post game so I don't agree.

Didn’t think too hard but I went with Giannis & Sengun.

These are all good tandums

I kinda like the wemby and booker for the 2k potential

I went Curry and Paolo, but what do I know? I’m just being a homer.

But his no -spine game is on point.

I really don't know who to vote for, many seem pretty equal. The pairing that speaks to me is Luka / Siakam. This isn't a 2v2 comparison, right ? there is a hypothetical 3 other players on the court with the pairs, yeah ?

This is actually pretty tough

My ranking:

1. Nikola Jokić / Derrick White
2. Giannis Antetokounmpo / Alperen Şengün
3. Luka Dončić / Pascal Siakam
4. Anthony Davis / Jaylen Brown
5. Stephen Curry / Paolo Banchero
6. Donovan Mitchell / Kevin Durant
7. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander / Karl-Anthony Towns
8. Victor Wembanyama / Devin Booker
9. Jalen Brunson / Evan Mobley
10. Anthony Edwards / Jalen Williams

Jokic and pretty much anyone.

Zaccharie Risacher and Jalen Johnson since I feel like being a homer.

I went with Luka/Siakam but I feel like folks are sleeping on SGA/KAT

Jokic and any other all-star

In a league where shooting has never been at a higher premium, I think it’s interesting that Giannis/Sengun are getting so much love.

Great players, but starting a team build with two guys who both can’t shoot a lick creates an immediate spacing problem for your overall roster composition right from the jump.

Where is Jason Tatum/ ZionWilliamson?

Correct. Its these 2 and random other players.
