I think they'd get killed on defense because they'd have problems defending the PnR against quick guards and their spacing can't be that good unless we just made a normal team like 6 inches taller each haha | ||

Philly will be stacked though, shved pretty underrated. Young's best position is as a PF where he has a major speed advantage and can provide some modest floor spacing. He can get bullied occasionally but usually he manages to hold his own. He's also got super quick hands fwiw. While he can play the three, he's not a true perimeter shooter and loses the speed advantage. It limits his strengths. | ||

My grandmother with Alzheimer's could run circles around these guys, even if she can't remember where she's going. Irving has been playing good defense, from the two games I saw. He's pressured the ball very well, which is great when you've got Davis backing you up. Harden is the one barely trying and taking horrible angles. Honestly, I've liked watching Kyrie on the defensive end more than any of the other PGs. | ||
