PKM
Chris Paul - Tyler Ennis
Lance Stephenson - Kevin Martin
Rudy Gay - Harrison Barnes
Thaddeus Young - Jabari Parker
Brook Lopez - Spencer Hawes
Siro
Rojon Rondo - Reggie Jackson
Bradley Beal - Dion Waiters
Carmelo Anthony - Tobias Harris
Nene - David Lee
Joakim Noah - Jared Sullinger
Siro's case:
My team has a perfect balance between inside and outside scoring, with each position designed to sync with all others harmoniously, amplifying each others' strengths, and covering for their weaknesses.
Just as importantly, the starting line-up is quite simply the best defensive starting five in the tournament. From the obvious defensive prowess of Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah, to the quick hands and tough hide of Rajon Rondo, this team will be very difficult to score against from any spot on the floor. It is important to note that Rondo was in the conversation for the best PG in the NBA before his injury. I full expect him to be back in the conversation next year.
Not only are the players defensively talented, but they are all ferociously competitive, diving for loose balls, welcoming contact, and being a serious nuisance to their oponents.
Melo will be the heart of the offense, specially now that he has lost weight in anticipation to his full move to the SF position. He will use his outside shot to space the floor and allow Nene to do what he does best in the paint. Defenses cannot focus all their effort on stopping Melo's outside game because Bradley Beal will punish anyone who doesn't pay him the attention he deserves. The backcourt is perfectly able to penetrate and drive, making over-committing a costly mistake.
If more inside scoring is needed, then David Lee is happy to come off the bench and offensively dominate opposing frontcourts. Waiters has remained underrated, even though he has shown considerable improvement each year he's been in the league. Reggie Jackson is one of the most explosive PGs in the NBA, and he will provide the infusion of energy for the second unit. The bench is rounded up by quality young players Tobias Harris and Jared Sullinger, who are both due for a breakout year.
PKM's case:
It's a tough team, tbh.
