    First to 4 votes wins!

    Anyone is welcome to vote, but please break it down. You can use this scheme:

    Frontcourt (who has better SF-PF-C)
    Backcourt (who has better guard combo)
    Bench
    Offense
    Defense
    Chemistry (which team's players fit on the court better)

    Or just give main reasons why you think one team will win.
    If there's no explanation, the vote won't count.

    SG: D.Granger

    IDK if there was a mistake or not on Horry's line up. but Tony Allen gets destroyed when placed at SF. Carmelo is the difference here.

    BC:Horry

    Parker and Granger easily over Lawson and Iggy. Parker was an MVP candidate last year, and Granger helped the Pacers to 3rd place in the East.

    Bench: Horry

    Bradley had a breakout season, and West proved he wasn't done after that surgery. J Kidd lost a step, but he was still a great distributor.

    Offense: Horry

    Parker, Granger and Aldridge can all put up numbers. Cousins as well wit the right PG/system. Donatas has Lawson and Melo, but Iggy is more of an all around player and his bigs arent known for putting up great offensive numbers

    Defense: Donatas

    No doubt. Noah is known for defense and hustle, Monroe at the 4 will give other paint pfs problems, Iggy is a great defender as well. Lawson is quick and can pick the pockets.

    Chemistry: Horry

    Team is put together with great balance. Parker is a championship caliber pg who has greatly spaced offense. scorers, defenders, high low post play. Horry gets the nod here.

    Winner: Horry

    I played Tony Allen at SF in the lineup because I wanted him matching up against Carmelo who I think is the other team's best offensive player.

    Carmelo would post up on him all day. At 6'4 he can't possibly try to gaurd a melo post up.

    A Carmelo Iggy frontcourt would be one of the best defesne offense oriented swingman rotation. Along with the efficient offense of greg monroe and the defense hustle in Noah

    BC:Donatas
    Granger doesnt play the 2 he would be too slow to guard smaller players. Parker is great but lawson is coming into his own as well.

    Bench: Horry

    Bradely and west are starters in this leauge for great teams

    Offense: Donatas

    Parker and Granger and Aldridge are greating scoring core, however Melo Lawson and Monroe beat that out barely.

    Defense: Donatas

    Iggy and Noah enough said

    Chemistry: Horry

    Horry couldnt have put enough balance but tony allen doesnt work well with parker

    Winner: Donatas

    well... he said that Melo and Iggy are 'swingman rotation', meaning, both will share minutes at SF.
    Either way, Iggy and Melo are on the floor most of the time together, they occupy both 2 and 3, so obviously one will count towards the backcourt...
    In real life, it would depend on what you do with Granger. Iggy or Matt Barnes wouldn't defend Tony Allen obviously, they'd be on Granger for 48 minutes.

    But... leave this, go vote on the next round. Jmc vote didn't count, he voted after 3 pm.
