Thee Jazz Fan's Case:
Why my team will beat WC's team...
Lowry Burks and Melo are all ball dominant ISO players that struggle to share the ball which will severely limit Love's ability to get back to this Timberwolves playing days. Love's production went way down with the Cav's playing with two ball dominant stars in LBJ and Irving. He was relegated to mainly standing out at the three point line due to all of the work Melo does on the block hoping to get the ball once in a while even with all of LBJ's passing ability, and he doesn't have that on this team.
My team is built around, and accentuating the skills of my two stars thanks to the spacing on the court of three very good to elite 3pt shooting. Wall and Cousins will have plenty of room to do what they do best. WC's team will frankly struggle to get stops wether he doubles or not it will hurt his team. Melo is the the most ISO heavy player, and with Carroll one of the best defenders in the league will be able to make scoring for Melo that much harder causing WC's team to struggle to score a lot of points.
In the end my team wins going away.
My team is everything a great coach would want in a modernized NBA team. With a touch of some old school. This team is built around my two super stars Wall and Cousins.
Wall is a far cry from his earlier days of his iso days where he relied solely on his physical and athletic attributes. As he's matured and began to rely on his basketball savvy he has turned himself into the complete pg. a pg that can take it upon himself to carry a team with his offense or create opportunities for his teammates with his passing. Wall has an incredible blend of phisical attributes to overpower most pg's to go along with the pure speed to go right around any pg, get into the paint and either finish or his choice of Kick out options of Anderson Redick or Carroll or a wide open dunk for Cousins. Last year he was second in assists to CP3 with 10.0 assists a game only 2 tenths of a point from Paul
To give an example of what Wall will mean to my team. This is a quote from a member of the Wizards org.
Quote.
A lot of young guys are selfish. He's a team person and a leader. It doesn't matter if he scores 30 points or four points, as long as we get the win, he's going to get the credit."
Quote from Wall...
Wall said, "Everybody knows how I am as a player. I like to get my teammates involved. My teammates enjoy playing with me, and I enjoy playing with them."
This just shows how important Wall is to my team. He will influence my team in a positive way thanks to his unselfish play and leadership. This will be huge in that he plays with Cousins one of the most gifted and talented bigs who carries some baggage as far as attitude goes. Wall will go a long way to influence Cousins in a positive way and bring out the best in him.
As far as pure pg play he's right there with CP3 he broke out in a big way this last year and only expect him to be better next year.
My other star and running mate with Wall. The most dominating force in the paint today. Demarcus Cousins
Quote...
Boogie ranks sixth in the NBA in scoring (23.8 points per game), third in rebounding (12.3 rebounds per game) and sixth in PER (25.2, comfortably above Lillard's mark) to go with significantly improved defensive work. Sacramento has outscored opponents by 6.4 points per 100 possessions with Cousins on the floor, according to NBA.com's stat tool, and has been outscored by a staggering 12.8 points-per-100 with Boogie on the bench. In other words, Cousins' presence is the difference between the Kings playing like one of the five best teams in the NBA and being far and away the worst team in the league.
As u can see Cousins has improved a lot and on the worst run franchise in the history of the NBA he is a player that wears his emotions on his sleeve. Many of his problems come from playing with a ton of players that simply didn't care about winning like he did as long as they get their stats and many times being unable to get the ball due to there being no structure on offense and a every player for them selves environment.
With players like Anderson Carroll Redick and of course the unselfish play and greatness of wall, these are four unselfish players that will only help to channel his emotions in a positive way towards winning and playing for his teammates, because he is finally playing with teammates that care as much as he does.
Things that make Cousins so good is he hates to lose and plays with a chip on his shoulder the size of Hacks ego. The ferocity he plays with is second to none and impossible to stop one on one. Just ask Rudy Gobert as Cousins lit him up a couple times last year. He is this era's version of bully ball and if u double him WC's team will be burned from the outside with Redick Anderson and Carroll patrolling the 3pt line if u don't double him he will dominate the game and pace of play. WC IS DAMNED IF FHE DOES, DAMNED IF HE DOESN'T.
The rest of my starters..
Redick. A top 5 shooter in the game great at pick'n roll to get open shots. Good passer not a great defender but always plays hard.
Carroll. One of the best 3 & D players. Will be the heart and soul of my team and defense. Will do all of the thankless jobs to help my team win
Ryan Anderson. One of the very elite big shooters from distance. He knows his role and does it well.
These guys no there rolls and responsibilities on this team. They will only make life easier for my two stars Wall and Cousins. Because of them this will be a machine on offense that will be almost impossible to stop, creating lanes for Wall and room in the paint for Cousins. This will be a very team oriented and unselfish hard nosed team.
THE BENCH...
I built my bench on being a unit that will be like a shot of adrenaline. This is a team that will play great defense and bring loads of energy. This is a team that will bring athletic ability and score a lot of points and run other second units off the court.
Brandon Knight.
17pts. 5ast. 4reb. 40%3pt
DeMar DeRozan.
20pts. 4 reb. 3 ast. 1.3stl.
Wilson Chandler.
13pts. 6 reb. 1.7 ast. 34%3pt.
Thadeus Young.
13pts. 5 reb. 2.8 ast. 38%3pt with the nets
Nerlens Noel.
9pts. 8 reb. 1.8 stl. 1.9 blk
White Chocolate's Case:
John Wall is better than Kyle Lowry. Alec Burks is better than J.J. Redick. Carmelo Anthony is better than DeMarre Carroll. Kevin Love is better than Ryan Anderson. DeMarcus Cousins is better than Tyson Chandler. My starters win 3-2 and the benches are fairly even considering I have a perennial 6th Man of The Year candidate in Jamal Crawford and a solid front court of Valanciunas and Lee who will put up great numbers in Boston. Warren can flat out get buckets as well. Kevin Love is the perfect stretch four, Kyle Lowry was an all-star last year and lead Toronto to the playoffs, Burks is a perfect piece to put with this team, Chandler is a great defensive presence downlow, and Carmelo is who will be the main scoring option. Outside of Wall and Cousins, Thee's team is pretty average. I mean Carroll is severly overrated (he's a good player) and he is starting Redick and Anderson.
