Wes Mantooth

Chris Paul-Landry Shamet
Victor Oladipo-Klay Thompson
Kawhi Leonard-Rudy Gay
Kevin Love-Al-Farouq Aminu
Nikola Vucevic-Dewayne Dedmon

Unbelievable rebounding 1-5. Unbelievable shooting as well based on their last full seasons.
Paul: 35.8%
Shamet:42.2%
Oladipo: 37.1%
Thompson: 40.2%
Leonard: 37.1%
Gay: 40.2%
Love: 41.5%
Aminu: 34.3%
Vucevic: 36.4%
Dedmon: 38.2%

Seriously, not one of these guys can be left alone. They can all drill threes. If someone is behind on the rotation or doubles, one of the massive bigs can grab an offensive rebound or get the ball via pass and score down low...and good luck with that brute size. Oh yeah, I can play some defense too. Paul, Oladipo, Thompson, Kawhi, even Gay, Aminu, Vucevic and Dedmon even.

I’ll leave this as a parting note. The Magic were 20-31 on January 29th last year. From then on, they had the third best record in the NBA and these stats.

January 29th till April 8th
STATISTIC 1/30-4/8 LEAGUE RANK
STATISTIC 1/30-4/8 LEAGUE RANK
Off Rtg. 111.9 10th
Def. Rtg. 104.3 1st
Net Rtg. 7.6 4th
Ast. % 65.1 5th
Reb. % 52 3rd
Pace 99.6 20th
TS% 56.4 11th

Vucevic is the main reason guy. People forget how great he is.

And oh yeah, regarding any concern about the shooting guard position, Shamet is versatile and can play the 2. Even Kawhi could for stints as well. But Oladipo should be back by December.

Damn close one. This one came down to which players i like better for the tie breaker. I love fox, beal, and davis and bojan is a jazz man so tfivas wins via tie breaker.

Don’t know if he makes it, but in Fox’s third year I expect him to at the very least be an All-Star snub in the Wild West. He’s a very good player
