Was challenged to defeat this Super Peak Wizards Team: 

Post#1 » by SelakStreet » Sat Jul 23, 2022 8:37 pm

PG1: ‘06 Gilbert Arenas
SG1: ‘07 Mike Miller (Memphis Grizzlies)
SF1: ‘09 Caron Butler
PF1: ‘08 Antawn Jamison
C1: ‘08 Brendan Haywood

PG2: ‘14 Randy Foye (Denver Nuggets)
SG2: ‘11 Nick Young
SF2: ‘09 Al Thornton (Los Angeles Clippers)
PF2: ‘10 Andray Blatche
C: ‘11 JaVale McGee

My Team:

PG1: ‘97 Rod Strickland (Washington Bullets)
SG1: ‘88 Clyde Drexler
SF1: ‘91 Harvey Grant (Washington Bullets)
PF1: ‘85 Buck Williams (New Jersey Nets)
C1: ‘99 Clifford Robinson (Phoenix Suns)

PG2: ‘88 Terry Porter
SG2: ‘92 A.J. English (Washington Bullets)
SF2: ‘96 Tracy Murray (Toronto Raptors)
PF2: ‘88 Jerome Kersey
C2: ‘99 Mark Bryant (Chicago Bulls)

Between my starting lineup and my bench, I think I clearly have a chance with better production from everyone. Where I think my team runs better is that the offense can run through either StrIckland and/or Drexler for the starters and Porter for the second unit. Having those three handle the ball when on the court helps opens up the whole offense for everyone. Grant and Williams are allowed to chip in more points, and having Porter as a second unit floor general would help English, Murray and Bryant flourish more on offense and potential while Kersey provides scoring, energy and defense.

Unseld, Hayes, Gus Johnson, Bobby Dandridge, Phil Chenier, Earl Monroe, Michael Adams . . . use Gus and Michael off the bench and you should do fine against any of the teams you put together . . . AND you can use actual Bullets/Wizard seasons for all of them.

If you want to go deeper on the bench, Mitch Kupchak, John Williams, Brad Beal (probably use peak Beal as a starter and Chenier off the bench) give you 10 deep. Then use Muggsy and Manute/Georghe for comic relief at the 11 and 12 spots. I am surprised you didn't use peak Moses since you were using non-Bullet/Wizard seasons.

Problems with your team: Harvey Grant was never an above average NBA player, Rod Strickland's stats always overestimated his production (Terry Porter was much better), and Cliff Robinson was a solid power forward with only out to mid-range range and not great defense -- but he was not the Clifford Robinson that played for Portland or Phoenix.

He was but Adams gives you 3 point shooting off the bench.
