RollWithEm

I think it’s only fair that the next match-up I’m unveiling involves the 1986 team that was casted out of the Sam Bowie region due to a roster shake up. The new 4/5 match-up in the Len Bias region should be a pretty good one. As usual, I’ll post the objective and subjective teams.

(4) 1986
G Mark Price
G Ron Harper
F Dennis Rodman
C Brad Daugherty
C Arvydas Sabonis
---------------------------------------------------
G Jeff Hornacek
G Scott Skiles
G Drazen Petrovic
G Dell Curry
F Walter Berry
F John Williams
C Roy Tarpley

I think the go to guy on this team is clearly going to be Walter Berry. He is an absolute beast of a player whose impact on a game like this cannot be understated… but anyway. Here’s what the team would look like based on my opinion.

PG Mark Price
SG Ron Harper
SF Chuck Person
PF Dennis Rodman
C Brad Daugherty
---------------------------------------------------
G Scott Skiles
G Jeff Hornacek
G Drazen Petrovic
G Dell Curry
F Johnny Newman
F Otis Smith
C Arvydas Sabonis

This team has no lack of shooting, playmaking, inside scoring, or rebounding. It’s an interesting squad, indeed, with 1996-level Sabonis on board. Just imagine how good they could be if they actually got prime-level Sabonis that was stashed oversees.

VS

(5) 1989
G Tim Hardaway
G Dana Barros
F Pervis Ellison
F Shawn Kemp
C Vlade Divac
---------------------------------------------------
G Mookie Blaylock
G Nick Anderson
G Pooh Richardson
G Sherman Douglas
F Glen Rice
F Clifford Robinson
C Dino Radja

This is an interesting squad, as well. They have a wide array of talents. My team would probably look like this.

PG Tim Hardaway
SG Mookie Blaylock
SF Glen Rice
PF Shawn Kemp
C Vlade Divac
---------------------------------------------------
G Dana Barros
G Nick Anderson
F Pervis Ellison
F Clifford Robinson
F Sean Elliot
F Danny Ferry
C Dino Radja

I just think Elliot and Ferry bring more to the table that’s missing from this team than do Pooh and Sherman. This team is actually pretty deep for a 5-seed. I see Uncle Cliffy as the 6th man (playing either forward spot or center). Pervis, Elliot, and Anderson would probably round out my 9-man rotation. Barros would be the third PG, Ferry would be the 5th wing, and Radja would be the 4th big. What do you think would happen?
