D'backs as an NBA Team?

I don't know how many of you pay attention to baseball, but wanted to post this here so I would get more responses. The Diamondbacks just got 6'11 Jon Rauch So I was thinking the D'backs have more size than a lot of NBA teams
C-Jon Rauch 6-11 and 291 lb's
F Randy Johnson 6-10 & 225 lb's
F Tony Clark 6-7 & 245
G Justin Uptin 6-2 & 205
G Chris Young 6-2 200

I don't know who would play Guard so I just went with the 2 best athletes on the D'backs. Maybe Orlando Hudson as a 6th man.

What do you think?

i think O DOG would be a better point hes quick as can be and has good hands so he probly would be a good ball hndler

I was thinking of doing the same. Rauch is a huge man! I could not beleive how big he was. Hes only 29 too, which is nice. But I was thinking Young would be a better 6th man. But upton has so much potential, as of now, he makes bone headed decisions. Hes like marcus banks. That all their up in the head.

I would put a guy like Owings at the SG position. Hes 6'5", and O-dogg as the starting PG.

big team, but the bats have to come alive, and the bullpen has to stop blowing games.

Solid idea. I know nothing about the MLB, but can this O-Dogg guy play some backup point in the NBA?

Yep Owings would work at sg at least hieght wise. Love the Upton and Banks comparison

Dbacks for the sweep tonight!

They'd probably outrebound the Suns.

Height and Weight does not make an athlete. If you wanted to really field another team, I would look at the Cardinals roster.

G-Anquan Boldin 6'1" and 217lbs.
G-Early Doucet 6" and 211lbs.
F-Larry Fitzgerald 6'3" and 220lbs.
F-Calais Campbell 6'7" and 282lbs.
C-Leonard Pope 6'8" and 258lbs.

My small ball line up kills your DBack team. No knock on Uptin and Young who are great athletes, but you can't roll out 3 pitchers cause they are tall and think they can play ball. One word, Sean Marks, I guess that was two words.
