Harden, Cam Johnson, Jalen Green, Victor Wemby, Sengun with Tari-Jabari and KPJ coming off the bench. At that point we could get a solid 3 and D player or two with our Brooklyn picks too, but we'll leave that out of the equation. I think that is a team that could win it all. With Wemby and Sengun, good luck driving in the paint. Try to outshoot Harden, Cam, and Jalen from the perimeter. And I don't think this lineup is outside the realm of reality for us.
Two 21 year old players, a 20 year old, a second year player, a 19 year old rookie, and a past his prime Harden as 6 of the top 8 players getting minutes would get beat by about 1/2 the teams in league.
Any lineup on any team looks good if Wemby is on it. May 16 is gonna define the future of an entire franchise.
I like the lineup of: (better) Harden...........\ Green...............\ Cam Johnson....+ KPj, Wemby? B Miller? Amen? Whitmore? Jabari................/ Nic Claxton...../ (played in 76 games & started 76 games x 30 mins....#2 shot blocker) Draft Zach Edey to go up against the big bruisers in the league.... all 7 of them.
I think people have been very unrealistic about what's possible for Victor early on. There's going to be a lot of care with his minutes and health. He's a guy who has been hitting less than 30% of his 3's in a mediocre league for two seasons. Very skinny. Moving to a new country. He can be a potential great but his first season is not going to be pretty. Cut the guy some slack, he will need some time to acclimate. That frontline of Sengun and Wemby will get bullied by many many players in the NBA till they gain more experience.
Can I make a 3rd one? it involves signing Dillon Brooks, Patrick Beverley, and Draymond Green. Troll your way to the playin & glory.
What if he grows to 8’ with a 9’ 6” reach??????? Seriously what if the Thunder get him and Chet and him are both injured constantly??
Don't get me wrong, that would be a nice scenario and a huge upgrade over this past season, but even still... Every actual championship contender destroys that team in a playoff series, at least during Wemby's rookie season.
That team is probably a 4 seed in the west if every thing goes to plan. That team would have no chance against Boston, Milwaukee, Denver and if the suns get some bench auxiliary talent this offseason. because Green and co are still raw. It’s definitely a playoff team though
That lineup will get cooked, It's best defender is a rookie. I wouldn't be mad at that team but I wouldn't be expecting more than a play in appearance.
Imagine Harden with pop belly and grey beard making 50 mil year while at 35 trying to get into the playoffs, and Green chucking air balls up. Please no.
