Nice team, lots of scoring guards.
Are you planning to use Gervin as the 6th man? Because in my opinion, Iceman would start over both Allen and Worthy. He is one of my favs amongst the old goods.
I just went to renew my tea. And you beat me to it.The iceman should start over Worthy.

Alex English
Alex English was the NBA's most prolific scorer during the 1980s and retired as the seventh-leading scorer with 25, 613 points. After being underutilized by the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers during his first four years in the league, English became the most explosive member of a high-powered Denver Nuggets team that consistently ranked among the league's top-scoring clubs. The sleek, 6-7 forward became the first player ever to string together eight straight 2,000-point seasons. more...

Alex English was one of greatest mid range jump shooters of all time. His high arching release made it hard for opponents to block his shots. He was good at shooting in traffic and had a nice fade away move (again because of his high arching shot). English was also an underrated passer who had solid court vision and a high basketball IQ. Alex English was a top ten player during the 80's.
He was a natural scorer with an incredible shooting touch in the perimeter, much like Bernard King. His go-to-moves were the turn-around and in-your-face jumpers from the perimeter of course. He could also run the wings and finish off the break.
