Baskets And Brew

Utah:
PG. D. WILL – One of the best and strongest pg’s in the NBA. He can score, pass, and direct a team. He is the future of the pg position along w/ CP3, Parker, and Jose Calde of course.

SG. R. BREW – Athleticism, 12+ PPG, and defense

SF. AK47 – The guy does it all. He is the only guy I’ve seen come close to quadruple doubles.

PF. C. BOOZ – Up there amongst the best PF’s in the NBA. Has great hands, can score, rebound, etc.

C. MEHMET OKUR – One of the selct few All-star calibur big men that is equally adept outside from inside. He settles alot outside though. But, still is very talented and he can also rebound.

6. Kyle Korver – Great acquisition cause with all the bigs Utah has and the phsyical play he is open from the arc on a regular basis and thats his bread and butter.

7. Paul Millsap – Is a beast what more can you say
8. Matt Harpring – Is Kyle Korver w/ suffocating defense

9. Brevin Knight – A great addition he is one of best floor generals does not create turnovers and can even put up a couple baskets.

10. CJ Miles – Athletic w/ a lot of upside
11. Ronnie Brewer – Is a good 3 point shooter and defender
12. Jarron Collins – Sucks but can defend

The Jazz are deep from 1 through 11.

Detroit:
PG. BILLUPS – Mr. Big Shot, like Williams one of best pg’s in game. Best perimeter shooting pg along w/ Nash and undisputed the best defensive pg. Like, D. Will is a good passer and very strong and could score. The only difference is D. Will is the present and long future. While, Billups is present and short future since D. Will has a larger window being younger and all.

SG. RIP HAMILTON – Is the best player in the NBA moving w/o the ball. He is a great scorer and very underrated.

SF. TAYSHAUN PRINCE – Incredibly, underrated is a can do it all man. Not many teams have a player that can do this and Detroit and Utah have the luxury of having them in Prince and Kirlilenko.

PF. SHEED – Just, like Okur. In fact, Okur learned from Sheed playing alongside him in Detroit. Sheed is equally adept in the low post as well as perimeter and like Okur settles on perimeter. Yet, it works for him. He is also a good rebounder and blocker and has stuff in his game Okur doesnt like defensive intensity and overall passion.

C. MCDYESS – Is still a very capable player that can give you a double double just about every night.

6. Jason Maxiell – Like, Millsap is just a beast
7. Rodney Stuckey – Can shoot and lead the floor
8. Arron Afflalo – Can shoot and looks to be a keeper
9. Kwame Brown – BLOWS
10. Amir Johnson – Another beast. Thats a luxury 2 beasts on 1 team

11. Walter Herrmann – Another luxury 2 big men that are perimeterly sound in Hermmann and Sheed. That could create matchup problems

12. Lindsay Hunter – Is Brevin Kinght w/ better shot and clutch factor. Like, Knight makes good decisions and protects the ball.

Detroit is deep 1-11 as well

Both these teams have very similar players and are very similarly deep. I wouldnt mind a NBA Finals series between the two. Do you all mind and who would win?
Lakers are far from the deepest. They have a hell of a starting lineup and a good bench. But, you have no big men on the bench that is good after Turiaf left. You got Mbenga, Mihm, Powell (raw). Trevor Ariza is not good I have seen him on the Knicks he has no shot and his d varies game to game.

Luke Walton, Radman, Farmar, and Vujacic are good. But, both Pistons and Jazz have better bench players. Thats why the Jazz played a hard fought series against LA and had almost the same record and Detroit had a better ecord than LA.
I never said center I said big men. Millsap, Johnson, Maxiell, and Johnson are all good big men. Lakers only have Valdy they lack good size w/ Mbenga, Powell (is will see), and Mihm is done. I would even say Fesenko who is in Utah’s IA is better than Mbenga, Mihm, or Powell who is in Lakers rotation. Hell even Chuck Seimb could do what Mbenga and Mihm do and he is in Detroit’s IA.
Um MC Zach Randolph is better than Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol alone.

Zach Randolph w/o Curry…
.467 (FG%), .819 (FT%), 23.6 (PPG), 10.1 (RPG), 2.2 (APG), .292 (3pt%)

Pau Gasol w/o Kobe 07-08…
.501 (FG%), .819 (FT%), 18.9 (PPG), 8.8 (RPG), 3 (APG), .267 (3pt%)

Andrew Bynum last year
.636 (FG%) *Hardly shoots, .695 (FT%), 13.1 (PPG), 10.2 (RPG) *This year Zach averaged 10.3 (RPG), 1.7 (APG), .0 (3pt%)

Zach Randolph statistically speaking has better #’s than both of the best PF’s in the game in Duncan and Garnett. Amongst the others in Boozer, Pau, etc. In fact the only PF w/ superior stats is Amare Stoudamire. If Zach only had the will power and desire to win that the other players have he would be unstoppable.
