Team Saint Cy of JFC:

PG - Goran Dragic / Brandon Knight
SG - Courtney Lee / Andrew Wiggins
SF - Gordon Hayward / Otto Porter
PF - Kevin Durant / Tristan Thompson
C - Brook Lopez / Nikola Jokic

Team Ellis269:

PG - Kemba Walker / Jordan Clarkson
SG - Rodney Hood
SF - Paul George / Tobias Harris
PF - Rudy Gay / Nikola Mirotic / Trevor Booker
C - Rudy Gobert / Jonas Valanciunas

Saint Cy of JCF's Case:

n/a

Ellis269's Case:

Starters have a nice mix of defense, offense, athleticism and shooting. Bench is long and versatile. Booker is the odd man out. I'd play the other four to fill holes and bring Booker in as an enforcer as needed.

I recognize that Durant beats up on Rudy Gay or Tobias Harris, but then I think I can make a fair case that the 2016/17 version of Gobert > Lopez, PG > Hayward, Hood > Lee and Walker > Dragic.

If I need to matchup big, I can use Gobert/Valanciunas, Mirotic, Gay/Harris, PG/Hood and Clarkson.

Small and athletic? Gobert, PG, Gay, Hood and Walker.

I have good starters, good depth and can matchup to almost any situation. Plus, I still have an Alpha scorer who leads both my offense and my defense.

I really liked Durant at the 4 in the playoffs, but really not sure Lopez is the right guy to pair with him there. Durant is easily the best player in this series, but I think I prefer the rest of Ellis's starters over Cy. Bench goes to Cy in my opinion, close, will have to think more.
 
Ellis's entire team consist of two people who play above average defense.

Open those shutters and you'll see that I got the best team in the competition, hater.

I hope I get you in the second round so I can embarrass you.
 
Idk how Miritic playing the 4 makes for a big lineup when he plays smaller than Gay.

And overall not a huge fan of Kemba. He takes a lot of shots for a PG. I thought about getting him a few rounds but couldn't justify his volume shooting with only one good year of production.

I had to go with Cy on this one. Durant and Hayward is a formidable combination. I kind of like Durant at the 4. Gay is a volume shooter, otherwise he's very meh. I don't think he meshes with Goerge's playstyle.

You hate Cy's team with Durant next to Hayward, with a great facilitating pg, the best low post player in the game, and Wiggins off the bench? That team can score like mad.

I voted Cy for the reasons you stated. I just had to talk **** about his team. It's just the right thing to do.

I wouldnt categorize Dragic as "great facilitating PG" as much as I would a crafty driver who can dish off his own aggressiveness. I needed a penetrator to go along with a slower team.
