Here is my team:

PG: Dennis Johnson- 5 time allstar, 3 rings, 1st team all NBA, 6 time all D first team, HOF
SG: Klay Thompson- 2x allstar, 1 ring, 3.5 made 3s per game in '16
SF: Jamal Wilkes- 3x allstar, 4 rings, 2x 2nd team all D, HOF
PF: Tim Duncan- 2 MVP, 15x allstar, 5 rings, 8 all D first team future HOF
C: Bill Walton- 1 MVP, 2 rings, 2 allstar, 2 all D first team, HOF

Key reserves:
Lenny Wilkins- 9 X allstar, HOF, assist leader
Rashard Lewis- 2 all star, 1 ring, 5x over 2 3s per game
Maurice Lucas- 4x allstar, 1 ring, all NBA second team, first team all D

Role players:
Byron Scott
Dick Van Arsdale

Why my team can win:

1) elite defense: anchored by DJ and my bigs (Duncan, Walton, Lucas) this team defense is as good as any. Wilkes and Klay are outstanding defenders also.
2) ball movement: 2 good playmaking PGs, and Duncan and Walton are as good as any big men in the history of the league when it comes to passing. Wings are all good catch and shoot players
3) shooting: Klay Thompson and Rashard Lewis can shoot as well as any duo out there. DJ, Wilkins, Scott and Van Arsdale can shoot also
4) versatility: this team an play any style. Can go big with any combo of Walton, Duncan and Lucas, but can also go small by sliding Lewis or Wilkes to the 4 and get some extra shooting out there.

Starters

PG Russell Westbrook. Best athlete at the point in this mock
SG Brandon Roy. Great player, short career.
SF Bruce Bowen. Elite defense.
PF Nate Thurmond. Straight up beast
C. David Robinson. MVP, Defensive player of the year.

bench

PG/SG Nate McMillan Defense
SG. CJ McCollom. Outside gunner
SF. mark Aguirre. Scoring off the bench
PF/C Uncle Cliffy. Offensive weapon. Sixth man of the year.
PF/C Memhet Okur. Outside shooter

Feel good about the groups ability to score and play D on the whole. Aguirre could
Also see a little time at the two Gaurd. Thurmond would typicaly slide to Center when Cliff or Memo come in for offense as Id like he and the Admiral to stay in the paint with their defensive presence.

I think this is one of my best basketball roster I've drafted. My team can stretch the floor and make the 3's. I got the defense to be subbed in at any moment and I got a lot of team players. This is a no drama, hard playing and versatile team. Nos told me that my team only had 1 great scorer. I'm fine with that actually. I rather have a team who plays well together then guys fighting for the ball.

Thanks Nos!

Thanking Nos for something he was about to do but failed to do is like thanking him for voting for your opponent but was thinking about picking your team. Nos is the guy where his girlfriend or boyfriend would just about finish cleaning the dishes and then he would arrive and say "hey hun you need any help"

Ps. #18,000 post. I joined when it was Nos's 1st NFL Mock Draft and I had maybe 200 posts under my belt. He has tried daily to get rid of me. Sorry Nos but I am here still here.

You don't have Jordan this time, or Steve Francis for that matter. I am betting on the field.

don't tell them that... I still have Jordan, maybe not Michael, and maybe his last name is not Jordan, and maybe he doesn't play basketball anywhere near MJ did, but I still have Jordan...

and we all have steve francis... He is like Marlon Wayans in the movie The 6th man
