Oscar us a one and west is a two. But basketball is positionless so never mind.

@silesian I agree, thats definetly how they opperated on offense. Like you said though offense is positionless. Im thinking more of who I want them gaurding.

Not sure either can guard speedy small guards like isiah. Quickness?

Jerry West was a 5 time All Defense team (4 1sts, 1 2nd) during his last five years. Those were also the first five years the award was established! With that being said I want them to be able to gaurd the outside shot, bother the dribble and passing lanes.
If... they get by, they have to deal with Timmy Duncan and Kareem. Two of the best defensive centers of all time. All five of my starters are multiple All Defense team players. Defense I dont worry about, I value it.

Not they can either, but who the hell knows. Joe Ingles is slow, but he does alright.

This article translates Jerry Wests greatness through analytics. It can be hard to understand but puts light on how great some of the NBA legends truely were. Recency bias is a real thing.

Who’s Big Ben?

Oooohhhh Goodness. He obviously meant Big Ben Handlogten former Center of the Utah Jazz!! What other Big Ben would he mean!!??? Nobody knows!!! We would need someone with some insane basketball knowledge to know who Big Ben is. This thread is so important. I just love annual lifelong battles on irrelevant subjects.
