Super Peak Teams: 1992 Sixers vs 1992 Hawks

[SelakStreet]

Who wins a 7 game series if all players are at their peaks?

Possible lineups:

1992 Philadelphia 76ers
PG: Johnny Dawkins
SG: Hersey Hawkins
SF: Charles Barkley
PF: Armon Gilliam
C: Jayson Williams
Bench: Jeff Ruland, Ron Anderson, Mitchell Wiggins, Charles Shackleford, Manute Bol

1992 Atlanta Hawks
PG: Maurice Cheeks
SG: Stacey Augmon
SF: Dominique Wilkins
PF: Kevin Willis
C: Blair Rasmussen
Bench: Rumeal Robinson, Travis Mays, Paul Graham, Duane Ferrell, Jon Koncak

If they are all healthy and at their peak, Ruland is starting ahead of either Gilliam or Jayson Williams most likely. Especially if you are playing Barkley at SF where he's fighting JW for those offensive rebounds instead of getting back in transition to stay in front of Nique. Even Mike Fratello will push his team to run against that matchup.

Not sure I don't start Koncak for Atlanta also to give some defense rather than Blair "Charmin" Rasmussen next to Kevin "Alligator Arms" Willis. Where's the Tree when they need him?

Good point about Ruland starting at C for the super peak '92 Sixers lineup. At least he's more helpful as a passer than Gilliam and Jayson Williams, and you don't have to worry about Ruland and Gilliam hogging up all the offensive rebounds from Barkley. It's a tough call between Gilliam and Jayson in regards to which one of these two should start alongside Barkley and Ruland.

And as for Atlanta, good point about Koncak being better on defense than Rasmussen. And I would definitely say Willis was better at offense than Rasmussen too.
