What modern players would you put on this hypothetical 2001 76ers roster? Most of the guys on that roster were defensive specialists who didn’t have much scoring ability. My take on this team would be:
PG: Marcus Smart
SG: Allen Iverson
SF: Matisse Thybulle
PF: Jarred Vanderbilt
C: Rudy Gobert
6th man: TJ McConnell
Imo this team is a defensive juggernaut and AI would still be the only reliable offensive option and I could see this team making a deep playoff run in todays NBA, the cap is probably an ECF.
A team with mostly good defenders but little offense does nothing in todays league
I don’t even know how to make that kind of team.
I guess maybe if Cam Thomas were to take a huge leap. The Nets? All those defenders like
Mikal,
Cam Johnson,
DFS,
healthy Ben Simmons,
Royce O’Neal.
Nic Claxton,
Lonnie Walker JR
can thomas when he takes the leap
