Why my team will win.

I'm going to keep this simple. WC's roster is well put together but lacks proven winners and players that could carry a team to any type of success. Pistol put up great stats but never won. Griffith was a nice glue type guy, but isn't the type of player that could carry a team.

On the other hand. I have the most dominant offensive player to play for the Jazz. Malone is the only MVP to come through Utah and lead them to two straight finals appearances.

To go along with the Mailman I have his running mate. One of the best closers to play for the Jazz. His midrange game was unreal and could create his own shot as well as anyone to play for the Jazz. The M brothers as they were so called back in the day were a destructive force offensively together make up the best one two punch in this draft competition both will play a ton and score over 20 a game in this matchup.

White Chocolate's Case:

To start, I want to look at the weakness of Thee's team which is very talented nonetheless.

Richard Jefferson was a product of the Ty Corbin system, I mean the dude averaged 10, 2, and 2 in 27 minutes a game. Can you imagine if Corbin actually gave those minutes to a young player? I guarantee they put up more than those measly numbers in 27+ minutes.

Greg Ostertag.. Where to start. If we had just a good center back in the Stockton and Malone days we probably have a championship or two right now. The dude was such an offensive liability, the stats Thee put out of Ostertag's best year, he shot 47% from the field. 7'0 who had no offensive ability. He was just out there because he was a big body who could block some shots. Hell, during the Finals, Sloan had to go small with Carr at center during second halves because he was more efficient.

My backcourt is better than his backcourt and I have a WAY better small forward. Thee does have a better frontcourt only because of the Mailman.

Stats for my starting five in their best year as a Jazz man:

Pete Maravich - 31.1 PPG, 5.4 APG, 5.1 RPG, 84% from the line.

Darrell Griffith - 22.6 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 3.1 APG, 36% from three.

Donyell Marshall - 14.8 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 1.7 APG, 1.2 BPG.

Truck Robinson - 22.7 PPG, 15.7 RPG, 2.1 APG, and 1.0 BPG.

Antoine Carr - 9.6 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 1.0 BPG, 82% from the line. (21 minutes a game)

If those aren't some massive numbers from one team, then I don't know what is.

Maravich, Griffith, and Marshall can all shoot the ball. Robinson and Carr were a great mid range shooters as well. Thee even called Griffith a glue guy, so he could defend Malone. Green wasn't known for his offense prowess, but he was a great passer. Marshall would destroy Jefferson.

Here is an excerpt from an article when Marshall was on the team:

Marshall worked himself into better condition, and when Russell sprained an ankle in early January, Sloan put Marshall in the starting lineup. He hasn't been out since. Through Wednesday, Utah was 21-5 with Marshall as a starter, and he's led the Jazz in rebounding during that stretch 10 times.

At 6-10, with his wingspan, Marshall is a tough check on the weakside, where he's feasted on the offensive boards. And with Sloan pushing him to be more consistent running the floor, Marshall's gotten the usual offensive boost from Stockton's precise fast-break passes.

"He's allowed my game to get a little bit easier," Karl Malone says. "Instead of going in the hole 20 times a night, he's allowed me to do other things."

Thank you for taking the time to read my write-up and please vote for who you think has the better team.

I wasn't kidding.

Just, wow. Amazing.
 
Karl Malone is the best player in this thing, but I hate that Thee is starting Jefferson and Ostertag. And his bench sucks. WC has the better team, and (unlike some) I happen to think that Maravich is underrated vs. how he'd be viewed if the NBA had a 3 point line during his day and age. Don't know how anyone can gush over Steph Curry without the same reverence for Pistol Pete.

Dude, I already dispelled the 3pt myth with Maravich. The 1 year they had the 3pt line, he took a .6 shots per game in about 25 mpg, so he hardly ever shot the 3pt shot.

WC trying to pray on everyone's hate for how Corbin used him is hilarious. Dude shot 40% from three. Which is why I drafted him. Still had some athletic ability. Each player have their roles. Malone carried the team. Jeff Malone is the second option. Jefferson stretches the court green runs the offense and Ostertag is my rim protector. WC was probably too young to understand Ostertags importance to the Jazz defense. Second most blocks at the center position in jazz history 2.7 blocks in under 30 minutes is elite. Jazz defense was always better with Tag in the game.
 
My bench is terrible?? What the hell? I've got the best backup offensive center in this draft. Anderson was a very nice player as was Foye. And Millsap and evens were energy guys who just made plays with heart and hustle

10, 2, and 2 is 27 minutes is horrible. Ostertag sucked. See the video above.

Dude, shut up. He was hurt and that was his last year you retard.
 
Lol. Postertag is very underrated. He was one of the best rim protectors the Jazz ever had.

One of the worst offensive players I've seen. If the Jazz had a good center instead of his sorry *** they have titles. Why do you think they wanted Rony Seikaly?

So u must think Eaton is a horrible waste his offense wasn't any better. I don't need Tag for offense I do however need his defense. It was very invaluable to the Jazz through the years.

I can get that. For me, as much as I love Karl Malone, it's hard to reconcile the fact that I have 4 of WC's starters as rated better than their counterparts and a slight edge to his bench.

Pistol Pete >>>> Rickey Green
Darrell Griffith >> Jeff Malone
Donyell Marshall >>> Richard Jefferson
Truck Robinson <<<<< Karl Malone
Antoine Carr > Greg Ostertag

and while its very, very close. . . I like WC's bench just a little bit better. Truthfully, both benches suck. Neither one tips the scale at all. Call it a draw.
