Which Blazer starting 5 would win?
Let’s pretend for a moment that all of the Portland Trailblazers are healthy. I’ve taken the 15 Blazers who are currently on Portland’s roster and broken them um into three pretty even teams of five. So which team would win if they played each other? And I just have to say, how crazy deep are the Blazers to be able to put together three good teams of five?
TEAM 1
G Steve Blake 6-3
G Brandon Roy 6-6
C Juwan Howard 6-9
F Travis Outlaw 6-9
F Dante Cunningham 6-8
TEAM 2
G Andrew Miller 6-2
G Rudy Fernandez 6-6
C Joel Przybilla 7-1
F Nicolas Batum 6-8
F Jeff Pendergraph 6-9
TEAM 3
G Patty Mills 6-0
G Jerryd Bayless 6-3
C Greg Oden 7-0
F Martell Webster 6-7
F LaMarcus Aldridge 6-11
Team 2 is defintely the weakest. No true scorer and no solid big man. Team one vs. three would come down to outside shooting vs. low post game. Got to give it to 3. They have Oden and Aldridge who would dominate the paint. And they have webster and two solid guards that can create and distribute the basketball. You have to like Outlaw and Roy but they don’t have the overall supporting cast that team 3 has. Team 3!!
Team 2 would win best defense and andre would dominate.
