“Underdog All-Stars: Constructing Championship Teams with NBA’s Overlooked Talent”
Explain your bench.
Again, with the knowledge that great offensive is harder to come by, I began filling out my bench with Austin Reaves, who plays every second that Maxey isn’t on the court and is a more than capable ball-handler and initiator of an offense. After that, I went heavy on the defense. Between four of my starters and Reaves, offense would not be an issue for my team. Enter Amen Thompson, a do-it all dynamo, and athletic marvel, Josh Hart, an elite rebounder and potential super small-ball center, and Dyson Daniels, maybe the game’s best point-of-attack defender, and my bench is stocked with defensive talent to come in and support some of my more offensive-minded players. Rounding out my 10-man rotation is Onyeka Okongwu, having an awesome season and a more than acceptable backup big. Keon Ellis is a hard-pressed 11th man but can fill in for any of my bench guys in a heartbeat and my team would lose very little on the defensive end. The backend of my bench, just like a normal team, is filled with guys on rest-of-season contracts, players who are happy to be there. Post is a stretch center shooting over 40% from 3 and Diabate is a legitimately solid defensive player.
