I revised this list to make the salary more reasonable. It consists of the top defenders in the league, aside from guys like Embiid and Giannis because they are freaks offensively.
Also, most of the PG/SG/SF players are interchangable on defense.
PG - Lonzo Ball/Ayo Dosunmu
SG - Matisse Thybull/Marcus Smart
SF - Alex Caruso
PF - Draymond/Robert Williams III
C - Gobert/Robert Williams III
Can a team with all elite defenders, but no bonafide offensive star win a title in the NBA?

Might add Deni Avdija as a 3/4 to fill the gaping hole in the lineup (as a backup); can't shoot well yet but plays excellent defense and decent handles and passing.
And they could win but they wouldn't be the favorite. Not just a lack of ability to create their own shots but questions about spacing, efficiency, etc. I'd love to have them take a shot though.
