great job everyone, we beat last year by a full day

please post your DC in this thread

we are not using any DC rules, we are trying to make actual teams to play actual basketball, so keep that in mind. you also don't really have to agonize over it, we'll be flexible in our analysis

[👨🏼‍⚕️delapandemic🚑]

Team Delap:

Starters:
Damian Lillard
Jimmy Butler
Joe Ingles
Jayson Tatum
LaMarcus Aldridge

First 3 off the bench:
Will Barton (primary bench scorer)
Jusuf Nurkic (big man relief)
FVV

Closing 5 (Normal/Big):

Same as my starters

Closing 5 (Offensive minded):
Damian Lillard
Will Barton
Jimmy Butler
Jayson Tatum
Joe Ingles

If the opponent is consistently playing 2 traditional bigs, Nurkic can come in for Ingles and LMA slides to the 4. We would still stagger a ton and have Ingles/Tatum guard up, as we only carry 2 real bigs.

In most games Bridges won't play, but could come in at a pinch at either wing spot. Offensive philosophy is driven by Dame when he's on the court, running pick and pop with Aldridge with Ingles and Tatum spotting up. Butler can also run PnR in some sets. Dame and Butler can both handle ISO situations. Defensive philosophy relies on Butler taking on the best opposing wing. Anunoby can come off the bench and do the same. Team can easily switch 2-4, with 1-2 being switchable with Dame/Butler and LMA can switch 4-5 with Ingles/Tatum (whoever is in).

In SIM format:

C: Aldridge / Nurkic / Aldridge

PF: Ingles / Anunoby / Ingles

SF: Tatum / (Anunoby or Barton) / Tatum

SG: Butler / Barton / Butler

PG: Lillard / FVV / Lillard

But that doesn't really capture real rotations. But whatever, it's close. 

In theory, the MPG would break down like this:

Aldridge: 35

Ingles: 32

Tatum: 37

Butler: 37

Lillard: 38

Nurkic: 13

Anunoby: 17

Bridges: 4

Barton: 17

VanVleet: 10

Pete and Delap have my 2 favorite teams. I’ll give my #1 to delap though because of defense and having a little more reliable bigs
