I'd say they are right in the mix with Orlando, Cleveland, etc. Whether better or worse depends on how Arroyo plays; he would have to step it up a bit.

Really likin the frontcourt esp. w/ Dalembert and Turiaf off the bench. Guards are a different story. If they could safely get the ball down low they'd be fine and could win any given series, but I don't see anyone who can do that.

Would Carmelo count? He's of Puerto Rican heritage IIRC.
My Starting 5:

PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Patrick Ewing

I tried to put players that were born in the Caribbean. I just found out that Ayuso and Santiago weren't born in the Caribbean though. :banghead:

At worst second round.

GREAT front-court, with TD and Horford. Dalembert would be great off the bench, but Turiaf was born in France?

Garcia's underrated, Raja Bell is still fair, but PG is a problem.

Ayuso, Santiago, even Turiaf aren't really important to the rotation. You need someone in the backcourt though.

You could add Patrick Ewing from Jamaica and Mychal Thompson from the Bahamas. Now THAT would be a team to fear!

They would win the championship with the GOAT Daniel Santiago.

I was thinking about that but they are too old.
