Build a team (plus bench) with the goal to hold teams to 50 PPG

[Paddy Brosso]

Here's my attempt:

Starters:
Hakeem Olajuwon
Draymond Green
Scottie Pippen
Michael Jordan
Gary Payton

Coming off the bench:
Tyson Chandler
Serge Ibaka
Bruce Bowen
Tony Allen
Jrue Holiday

Although tbh I don't know if some players I have chosen for my bench are really "Role Players".

[OhayoKD]

Michael Jordan
Charles Oakley
James Johnson
Steven Adams
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Ron Artest (choose to start my 3rd all-star from the bench)
Nic Batum
Serge Ibaka
Markieff Morris (trying to instigate/provoke)
Milos Teodosic (same as above, very punchable face)

Main objective is to gravely injure at least one player per posession. MJ is just there for preferential treatment with the refs.

I think this roster is worth alot of rubberized ducks

Major snub in Zaza Pachulia.

I was waiting someone to catch this. And although I hear you. I'm willing to bet 60-70 is doable. Given that no team has ever from top to bottom had an absolute shut down player. Todays ERA might be a little harder.

I think the assumption was people going ... "as close as possible, 50 is the goal not the requirement" or "hold opponent points to a minimum" ... rather than coming back and saying well the super slow '96 Cavaliers only held teams to 88.5ppg (Ditto Fratello's '06 Grizz, through D and slow pace) , then 85.6 the next year with better D, the '99 lockout Hawks with fairly elite D and slow pace only held teams to 83.4 ppg... I assume people know circa 100ppg is pretty normal and 50 would be a pretty wild outlier even at a single game level, and far far more so as a season average. There's not anything wrong with saying it but it's not exactly new information to anyone that no team has been anywhere remotely close to this in the shot clock era.

No stop I’m the only person that caught this because I’m built different

Lmfaoo!!

The goal is to keep teams to an average of about 50 PPG:

Starting 5: 2 HOFs, 3 All Star Caliber players.

Bench: 5 Role Players

As you can see you don't need much of an offense to win games.

Russell / Rodman - HOF
Artest/ Holiday / Van Lier - All-star

Camby / Cooper / Christie / Prince / Battier - Role players

Try to score.

(didn’t use modern players that are likely HOF’ers)

Didn't you mean

"Try to score, I dare you!"
