Was based on nothing but defense like the Spurs and Pistons instead stars with role players, how would the lineup be?

How about this?

C Wallace/O'Neal/Camby
PF Duncan/Garnett/J. O'Neal
SF Bowen/Prince
SG Artest/Kobe
PG Kidd/Billups

I agree with most of these although O'Neal isn't that great of a defender anymore. Would Kidd & Billups be our best defensive PG's? If you're putting together a team that's really good on defense and yet can score then I think you're close to having it nailed.

There is a serious lack of outside shooting skills on that team.

Oooh, but Eric Snow is still one of the best lock down defenders at the PG position, even at his age. I really like what Raja Bell does too. If he and Tim are from the V.I. he would be eligible too right?

Wow, Melo actually looked quick. He better slow down as I'm sure George Karl will see that video and expect that kind of defensive effort in Denver :lol
