The only explanation I have while looking at votes is that most of the well educated posters did not bother voting here. Sorry but it is true. Just check the big names missing.

If you look closely you will see that only position Jako is better than A-Train is SF and Jeff Green is one of the few guys that could actually bother him.

How many games do you think a starting five of

Rondo
Curry
Green
Favors
Cousins

would win in an 82 game season?

Bizarrely, we can actually kind of use the Boston Celtics here as a rough guide. Two of the five players were actually on the Celtics (although Green only started 17 games and was the backup, so that's a minus).

With Rajon Rondo, the Celtics were a slightly under .500 club. Favors is worse than Garnett was generally. Green was essentially Paul Pierce's backup and almost by definition a minus from Pierce. Obviously Cousins is a plus and Curry is a plus but from a win share perspective they net maybe 10 wins over an Avery Bradley/Brandon Bass tandem (EDIT: I looked it up, and it's almost 10 on the nose).

So how good would this team really be? Would they even break 50 wins? What if they played in the West?

Nice duck. I'd bet a bunch of money that what I said was true.

Your method for drawing sound conclusions is amazing. As always. Keep up the good detective work.

It is hard to gauge how many games they would win in a season especially in the west but I would say around 52. Curry is definitely better than Bradley and since he is a much better passer he would change the dynamics of the team. Jeff Green is not as much ball-dominant as Paul Pierce as well. Favors is definitely a minus but I believe Cousins should be much of a plus. Spacing is a problem but you can work that out by moving Curry to PG and putting Crawford at SG and Jeff Green shot %38 from 3pt range . Success in a season depends on many things. Coaching, bench, injuries, age are all important. Since A-Train's team is much younger they would take 82 game long season better than Celtics. Actually there are just too many factors to effectively guess anything. It's not just a matter of who is better than who at which position.
