    5 Wing players win it all -

    KD, LBJ, Harden, Carmelo, and Paul Geroge.

    I'd take the guards to win. Hack Dwight for 1.1 pps.

    Meanwhile, have the guards drive for easy layups (or open 3s by Curry) ahead of the lumbering centers. And put enormous ball pressure beginning with the inbounds on whichever center is bringing up the ball, having the guards to use their fast hands to force as many turnovers as possible. I'd aggressively trap the ball, have the guards use their speed to front the centers, pack the paint to double or triple any center who gets into the paint to take away their dribble, and concede the jumper and most 3s.

    PGs should win unless they run out of fouls to give.

    Centers. They can just pass the ball up the court without having to dribble. Then back their man down for easy dunks.

    The guards would have to rely on jump shots. The centers can play 2 man back at the 3 point line to pass in/out and hurry back on defense.

    This.

    also replace cousins and lopez with duncan and marc gasol. so you have some big men who can handle the ball (noah included). and with the passing of gasol and noah it should be no problem for the centers to bring the ball. even if it is without dribbling and just passing the ball to high for the guards
