No need to overthink this and get too crazy.
Assuming Okongwu is gone at 9...
- Draft Vassell at 9, Pritchard at 37, and sign Noel for the MLE.
- Trade Ish & Robinson for Delon Wright
Wall / Wright / Pritchard
Beal / Vassell / Wright
Brown / Bonga
Rui / Bertans / Bonga
Bryant / Noel / Wagner
I thin many would be shocked how good that team would be.
Man I dunno. That starting lineup doesn't seem to have any particular goal in mind. The rebounding is terrible, the defense is terrible, you've got 4 guys who arguably are best with the ball in their hand, and a real lack of shooting on the wings.
Dont worry about Starting vs Bench... I didnt care to worry that much. Point is, we have Both High level On-Ball and Team defenders, shooting, creating, vision, IQ, rebounding, etc. at every level (Guard, wing, big).
Having broad and fluid skill sets at each position allow us to match up and exploit any given lineup.
Pritchard, Beal, Vassell, Bertans, Bryant can shoot from ANYWHERE.
Wall, Wright, Vassell, Bonga, Noel can cover the entire floor defensively and cause havoc.
Wall, Beal, Brown, Rui, and Bryant are all capable of beating their man 1 on 1 and make double teaming impossible.
Our guards can play the 1 or 2 (Or even some 3)
Our wings can guard the 1-4.
And our bigs can play with eachother due to ability to spread the floor (Bryant) and guard the perimeter (Noel)
