Frontcourt:LCAhmed...and I hate Malone. Backcourt:Yung-T by a mile. Bench: very close...LCAhmed..I love both of these benches. Tim, Mitch and Kemp vs Alvin, Thompson & Cooper. Offense: Yung-T...no comparison. Defense: Yung-T...Yes LCAmed has Bill Russell, but overall Yung-T is superior. Chemistry: LCAhmed constructed a team for the chemistry vote...he gets it. Good match-up, but I can't see LCAhmed's team beating the big 3 of Paul, LeBron and the Admiral. YUNG-T WINS!!!
frontcourt - even. I'd take LCAhmed's bigs, but I'd also take LeBron over Havlicek by considerable margin. Btw, just to clarify, i judge 3-4-5 as frontcourt in these threads. backcourt - Yung-T. bench - LCAhmed. Yung-T bench is good, but LCAhmed's is great, possibly the best in the draft. defense - Yung-T. I'd take LCAhmed's big man combo defensively. LeBron-Hondo.. lets say even, though I'm leaning LeBron. I'd take Yung-T's backcourt. And Yung-T has more defense off the bench. Overall, Yung-T, slightly. offense - Yung-T. Malone might break Walton's 210 pound frame in half on one of his pick and rolls, but overall, Yung-T has much more offensive talent in the starting lineup. LCAhmed's bench closes down the gap considerably, though. Overall, Yung-T, slightly. chemistry - LCAhmed. It would be hard not to vote for LCAhmed here, regardless of who he plays. Celtics starting lineup, GSW backcourt off the bench. A very well built bench. I can't see any possible chemistry issues. overall - Yung-T. 3-2 + a tie in the previous categories, and that seems about fair. Yung-T wins in 7, 4-3.
Frontcourt: Very very close. I would give the edge to Yung. Lebron has a noticeable edge over Havlicek. Bill Walton at his peak was defensive monster who may even be comparable to Russell. David Robinson and Karl Malone are about a wash. Its the Lebron factor that gives Yung the edge. Backcourt:Yung no question. Bench: Both have great benches but LC has a noticeable edge here. Offense: Yung-T. Defense: Wash. I won't give LC the edge here. He may have the all time greatest defensive center but Yung has a team filled with great defenders and Bill Walton is no slouch himself. Chemistry: LC no question. 3-2 + tie. I say Yung-T in 7.
Good, 4-1 so far. It's a very good team. There's no way it should've been a sweep. It's one of those matchups like the Celtics - Heat last year. One team seems to have more super-talent and super athletes, the other has extreme chemistry and depth.
