Inside/Out Juggernauts vs 3-Tier Trifecta?

Post #1 » by **GeorgeMarcus** » Tue Mar 21, 2023 10:15 pm

Team 1
Shaquille O'Neal
Marvin Williams
Matt Harpring
Kerry Kittles
Steph Curry

Team 2
Brendan Haywood
Kevin Durant
Kawhi Leonard
Dwyane Wade
Monte Morris

Assume peak versions of each player. Are you going with the "3 stars >2" philosophy or the inside/out juggernauts?

Team 2 fits together really well, neither Leonard or Durant require the ball so they will still be maximized on offense. I think the multi-star advantage is too great making Team 2 superior. Focus more on shutting down Steph, let Shaq eat, and then exploit Shaq's lack of mobility for 3s > 2s.

Durant/Kawhi/Wade are too good to pass up, and I really like their defensive versatility.

Also, I can't remember the last time I thought about Matt Harpring.

Not really a fair fight when all the stars are MVP-level players

Team 1 is going to get a lot of good 3PAs up and if they shoot hot that night they have a chance. If they don't shoot hot they will definitely lose because Wade-Kawhi-KD are going to eviscerate them no matter what.

I think that the duo of Marvin Williams and Kerry Kittles (+ Harpring I guess) is better than Monte Morris and Haywood, but I prefer team 2's supporting cast by a margin.
