Here's My Outlandish 2015 Lineup

MY Stupid lineup

C: Jabari Parker
Pf: Karl Malone
Sf: Alec Burks
Sg: Trey Burke
Pg: Jimmer



derp derp derp derp derp

I am reading this as a jabagainst my lineup, so consider this: how many players in my lineup are playing out of position? Yhe answer is 1/2 of 1. Hayward is already our main distributor. Both he and Burks are great ball handlers. Hayward doesn't have to defend PG's in my lineup, Burks could do that.


Your lineup is the antithesis of mine. Every position is incredibly weak defensively for position (Karl too, especially when considering age). I know you are joking, but even so...
 
I'll take it!

My "Corbin" lineup: i.e. Millers overrule Lindsey on getting rid of Ty. Dennis does his job in trying to shore up the bench with whomever he can get to come to Utah. Corbin does his job by playing the veterans instead of the "youngsters."

PF - Humphries, Kanter, Evans
C- Favors, Gobert, Nurkic
SF - Marvin Williams, R. Butler, A. Gordon
SG - Hayward, Burks
PG - Burke, Lucas III, Jimmer
Neto sees this train wreck of a team and decides to play in Spain again. Jazz draft and stash Bogdan Bogdanovic with their 2nd round pick.

My team would beat your team.

They would hit their free throws, they would be better from outside, and I would take Malone(yes at 50)/Parker over Gordon/Gobert. Gobert is not ready to start in the NBA. He will probably always be a back up.

Nope it won't happen, or nope you don't like it? Come on big guy, use your words :)

Start four wings who can't shoot huh? Well at least we would be athletic.

This pretty much sums it up but let me be more specific.
YOu have 2 bigs that have no other skill than dunking right now. Hopefully they'll get more versatile but that remains to be seen. Gobert even has butter fingers, nervous sweaty palms or his teammates don't leave magnesia powder left for when it's his turn. I'm really disappointed by Gobert's offensive contributions after his draft video and first summer league game.
Wiggins has yet to prove he's a shooter and Alec Burks hasn't been deadly from outside as well. So you have 2 bigs who can only dunk the ball which makes the 2.9 super deadly and even allows to double team and trap every ballscreen and also telegraph help defense on isolations.
If Pop had to coach that team he'd either retire or die from a heart attack on 2nd day of training camp.
 
PG: Hayward
SG: Burks
Sf: Wiggins
PF: A. Gordon
C: Gobert

Benefits: we have elite wingspans and athleticism at every position. Defensively no one could score on that lineup in 2 years. We could outrun anyone.

Jazz have their pick, GSw Pick, Favors, Trey, and Kanter to try and make it work. If Orlando gets 1st or 2nd pick and we get 4th or 5th, would Trey and our pick be enough considering their real goal is a PG? Could GSW plus Kanter or Favors net us Aaron Gordon?

Bench=

Neto, Miciic, or Elfrid Payton w/ our 2nd round pick
Ray Allen (overpay for his mentoring), Clark
Marvin Williams, Jeramy Evans
(Either Kanter, Favors, or GSW pick or whatever isn't required in trades)
Ante Tomic (haha, yes I went there).




Thoughts? Would you try to pursue this?




I personally am high on Kanter and think his best days are ahead of him, but also would really like to see this team run. I used to be the biggest Favors homer, but have come to the conclusion that the scouts were right, he is mentally weak and unmotivated. Trey's defensive potential is very low.

Stop eating crazyO's
 
Yeah that would probably be an awesome lineup in like five years. Depends how long you want to wait to win.
 
Here's mine.

Burke, Garrett, Neto
G. Green, Burks, Stauskus
Deng, McDaniels, Thomas
Gordon, Evans, Young
Favors, Gobert
