this is position-less basketball. By the time I needed to find a center, there just wasn’t one worth starting. Enter Truck Robinson. He led the league one year with just over 15 rebounds a game, that same year he was 8th in mvp voting and voted first team all nba, so he was one of the best players in the league that year. Due to his elite rebounding he can fill that spot just fine. I put Wes Matthews in the starting lineup for three point shooting and defense. At this stage of his career he was athletic and explosive, and a scrappy defender a nice three and de type of player. He also fits into the mold of this team as a scrappy athletic defensive team. Other teams can’t match the energy this team provides. Millsap and truck are a great tandem both on offense and defense both play hard and scrappy on both ends, Griffith is one of the most athletic players in jazz history, and during his time on the team it’s best three point shooter at 38%. Williams is the second best pg in jazz history and very efficient and pick and roll offense, both Truck and Millsap would thrive as a pick and roll partner with Williams.

Thought you drafted one of the better teams, was worried voters would view your wings as too much for mine being bigger and great shooters, was hoping they’d see my athleticism as able to overcome that. Felt your team was the one team that would match up well, having the elite wings and the smaller front line like mine. I think this is the only team you drafted that didn’t make it out of the first round, I’d have to go back and look. Making two finals is impressive though.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Good matchup. You’ve got a nice team. Good luck in the next round.
