Taking only starters, the players that led their respective positions in TS% were:

C: Andrew Bynum
PF: Pau Gasol
SF: Andrei Kirilenko
SG: Mike Miller (or Kevin Martin if you think Miller's a SF)
PG: Steve Nash

So if you take that as your all-efficient team, they'd run off that defensive club.

Use Miller at SF instead of Kirilenko to take out the defensive star from that team and yeah, they do. They do even with Calderon instead of Nash; key is having another top big man (Bynum or Amare) instead of another outside shooter to handle the defensive team's big size/rebounding edge.

Heh, have you witnessed Smith and O'Neal in action over the last two years? Both have the remarkable ability to make bad defenders look competent with their shot selection.
