Build a Championship contender team using bench players 

Post#1 » by The Laker Kid » Fri Feb 8, 2008 5:51 pm

I was wondering if anyone can build a championship team using this year's bench players from various teams...

I'll try:

PG - Leandro Barbosa
SG - Thabo Sefolosha
SF- Devin Brown?
PF - Ronny Turiaf
C - Rasho Nesterovic?

Is that a good team that can contend? :dontknow:

Let's see yours

I don't know about Championship level because you need really good talent but here's the best team I can think of:

PG: Jose Calderon (when TJ Ford is healthy) / Jason Terry
SG: Manu Ginobli / Leandro Barbosa
SF: James Posey / Michael Finley
PF: Al Harrington / Charlie Villanueva
C: Dampier/Diop (whichever one of them is off the bench / Rasho Nesterovic

PG:Calderon/Terry
SG:Ginoboli/Barbosa
SF:Diaw/Childress
PF:Millsap/Turiaf
C:Nene(when healthy)/Nesterovic


I think that could actually be a really good team. Don't know about a title, but it is a ballanced team with good scoreing, passing and rebounding.

That team can't make the playoffs in the East, let alone contend.

Most people have Calderon on their lists, but as of right now, TJ Ford is coming off of the bench, not Calderon. Still probably the best option at that spot though.

C- Varejao, David Lee, Nene
Pf- Nick Collison, Al Harrington
Sf- Childress, Travis Outlaw
Sg- Manu, Ben Gordon, Barbosa
Pg- Calderon or Ford, Terry


I would say that this team would be one of the favorites to win the title.
