PG: Westbrook
Wing: Booker
Wing: DeRozan
PF: Griffin
C: Randle
My team's weaknesses:
1. DeRozan and Westbrook in the same offense is horrendously beautiful. Zero three point shooting ability, two guys whose value is derived from volume scoring.
2. Defense! Devin Booker's defense is atrocious, and Blake Griffin plus Randle is a disastrous frontcourt whether you're switching them onto guards or they're trying to protect the rim.
My team's strengths:
1. Booker, Griffin, and Randle on offense. I'm hoping Westbrook ruins that. Randle and Griffin have both turned into good but not great 3 point shooters,
Thoughts?
