Matchups
SGA on Stockton
Caruso on Allen
Herb Jones on Butler
Sheed on Malone
Davis on Turner
I firmly believe I have the games top defense here. Elite defense on the wings, elite defense up front, and elite versatility and switchability.
I have all the tools to shut this offense completely down. Jones is one of the best man to man defenders in a LONG time and he will completely smother Butler here, especially with Jummys reluctance to shoot the ball.
Caruso is a savage on ball defender and he will really hurt this team with taking away their most efficient outside shooter
SGA is a big fast gaurd who Stockton will not be able to pass over the top of
Sheed can match Malones power
Davis can easily move between Turner and closer to the rim if needed.
Offensively I am running a very simple but crazy efficitive plan.
Spread pick and roll around SGA and Davis. everyone can shoot from range around them and this will keep the floor very spread. And no one here can guard SGA.
Our benches are both pretty damn nice, but I do have a better git there I think with Jordan being my defensive rim runner, Perkins giving me great size and space, and Mike Miller giving me a go to scorer who won 6th man.
