Assemble the best team you can

[BigKAT]

*Without Using current/past All-stars.
*6th man optional
*Active players only

PG: Kemba Walker (Really liking this guy, and if you can't pick all-stars, I think he's the cream of the crop.)

SG: C.J McCollum (Great, great shooter and growing as a playmaker. Good for spacing in a team where Kemba walker's 3PT is average (Recently better) )

SF: Andrew Wiggins (From the non-all stars, who do you have over him? I take him over Hayward long term, and even next season hopefully.)

PF: Karl Anthony Towns (C or PF? I think he can do both.)

C: Rudy Gobert (Defensive Anchor, KAT has 3pt range so we can swallow his range limits)

Great defensive potential, with the only real 'hole' being Kemba.
Offense run by Kemba and KAT with CJ spacing and Wiggins playing off the ball as a slasher.

And some of the best defensive non-allstar frontcourt I can imagine. (With the right coach, yeah?)

6th man: Nicholas Batum (Offense, Defense, Passing, just a great guy to have if the matchup demands it, or to school benches.)

It has to be Conley in the point guard position for me. Redick is another name that comes to mind. Giannis & Ibaka would also be great choices.

[Milbuck]

Conley
Middleton
Giannis
Porzingis
KAT

Length, defense, athleticism, enough shooting, multiple playmakers, unselfish/high IQ. Matchup problem at 4 positions.

Middleton is a great pick at SG. I also like Giannis, but how much of the offense goes through him? I heard he's going to play full time at PG this season or something.

Also to the one who mentioned Ibaka, I really like him as a player, but I think Orlando will be his defining moment. We'll see if there was more to him, merely concealed under WB and KD's dominance, or if he is already at his limits.

Why Seth Curry over proven commodites in Walker, Conley, Lin, Dragic etc..?

It's almost like OP is making all these threads to mention Karl Anthony Towns in a positive light...

Probably the Timberwolves fan who opens the least threads about the Timberwolves. Or KAT.

Check out my other threads if you want. (If you can view it in my account.)

Dragic is overrated

I love Kemba but I don't want my PG to be a hero.

Conley is the perfect choice here, I agree.

But to be unique, why not? He is not an All star caliber player yet but works hard enough for me to have him on my team.

But Mike Conley it is tho :oldlol:

[qrich]

Lists like this are relatively easy to do with guys still on rookie deals.

PG: Mike Conley Jr.
-Best defensive point guard in the game, bar none. A great distributor as well. Plays in the flow of the game.

SG: JJ Redick
-One of the most underrated guys to pick up a basketball. Great floor spacer and shooter, obviously, but the other things he does no one notices. He is an average to solid man defender, but an exceptional team defender. He can also attack the bucket well and is successful at it since he knows when to pick his spots.

SF: Khris Middleton
-Him and JJ would space the floor like no tomorrow.

PF: Derrick Favors
-An absolute bulldog on defense without being a liability on offense. Among the most consistent players I've seen since Duncan/Brand (obviously not as good). Would excel with Conley in the pick and roll, plus with JJ/Khris spacing the floor, the paint would be his.

CE: Hassan Whiteside
-I'm not in the boat of Whiteside being the best C, etc. etc., but his shot blocking abilities, teamed with his rebounding prowess would be exceptional with Conley and with JJ/Khris hedging players into him, his block numbers would be great. A bit of a concern as far as playing within the team offense, but that can be resolved.

6th Man: Danillo Gallinari
-The **** would make an exceptional 6th man here, with the ability to play at the 3/4 and giving the squad versatility to go small and relatively bigger with Khris and his 6'8 frame sliding down to the two.

[TemporaMutantur]

PG : Zach Lavine
SG: Devin Booker
SF: Giannis
PF : Ben Simmons
C : Karl Anthony Towns

Eh, too many people that demand the ball in my eyes.

KAT and Simmons would work ridiculously well together though.

He was at 20 on 45/41 when he went down, but the only time he averaged >24 was the first five games of the campaign when he was at 25 on 50/50
