Knowing what you know now, in hindsight. Pick one player each from the last 5 nba draft to form a team

My team will be

2013- Giannis PF

2014-Embiid C

2015-Devin Booker SG

2016-Ben simmons PG

2017- Donovan Mitchell SG (two SG's, I know but fukk it)

Let's see if anyone can pick a better team to beat this one.

2017 - Donovan Mitchell
2016 - Brandon Ingram
2015 - Kristaps Porzingis
2016 - Joel Embiid
2017 - Giannis Antetokounmpo

My team in 6.

How are you fitting in two centres in the same starting 5, add in Giannis and that's one crowded ass paint with no floor spacing

No floor spacing?

Porzingis is one of the better shooting big men (40% from behind the arc on five attempts per game), and is top-5 in catch-and-shoot points per game:

Ingram, Donovan, and Giannis can handle the playmaking duties; Ingram, Donovan and Porzingis can provide the shooting/spacing; Porzingis, Embiid, Giannis and Ingram can all defend multiple positions; Porzingis and Embiid can protect the rim; defensive radius between Porzingis, Embiid, Giannis and Ingram could cover the Earth.

Porzingis getting bullied out here by a one-knee-having LaMarcus Aldridge.

You better put Embiid on him.

But why use a big like a guard. No matter how good of an outside shooter porzingis is, He will always be best utilised in the post. Logically speaking, my team is more balanced than yours if we are keeping it a buck. I have got the right mix of speed, athleticism and pure shooting in Mitchell&Booker, creativity in Simmons and inside presence in Embiid and Giannis.

Also I just noticed that you don't have any point guard, who's going to run your offense:gucci:

:dwillhuh:

But you just asked where's the spacing with "two centers", now you're juelzsantangif'ng by saying it doesn't matter how good of an outside shooter he is.
He will always be best utilised in the post.
Regardless if this is true or not, he can be utilized on the perimeter; your point of contention was the paint was going to be congested because there was no floor spacing. And now you're switching up your argument to say he's better off being used in the post, after I show you stats that reflect him being a good shooter.

Why does he have to be utilized ONE way? Why can't he score from the outside and the inside? It's what gives my team versatility.
Logically speaking, my team is more balanced than yours if we are keeping it a buck.
:dwillhuh:

Now you're going back over your argument, again. First you claim that I lack floor spacing because I have two centers, then I show you stats that one of those centers is a good shooter, you then say he's best utilized in the post (inadvertently pointing to his versatility and the balance of my team). Now you're saying "logically" your team is more balanced, despite the fact we both have three of the same players, except I have the advantage of a big man who can shoot and post-up, you don't, which would mean your entire argument of having more of a balance is down to that other player v. my other player.
I have got the right mix of speed, athleticism and pure shooting in Mitchell&Booker, creativity in Simmons and inside presence in Embiid and Giannis.
Nah, I disagree.

My team is superior defensively and offensively - you have a weak point on defense (Booker) and a weak point on offense (Simmons).
Also I just noticed that you don't have any point guard, who's going to run your offense:gucci:
How can you say your team is more balanced when you're not even aware that Mitchell has played PG for the Jazz, Giannis has played point-forward for the Bucks, and Ingram has played point-forward for the Lakers this season?
