Message: [QUOTE="General20, post: 2646893, member: 724"] TB T is all about shooting. There isn't enough practice time or coaching to create shut down D's so there will always be open shots. The teams that hit those shots will win. We lost to Marquette this year because they hit a crazy number of 3's. We lost to Overseas Elite last year because they hit a crazy number of 3's. Last year's champions, Overseas Elite, was the team that shot the best from 3. I'd bet money that this year's champions will also be the team that shoots the best from 3. With that in mind, here is the team I would choose if I had my choice of any non-NBA Syracuse alum (I don't actually think most of these guys would play, but its fun to dream). Ennis - cant turn down an NBA quality point to get the ball to our shooters in the perfect position. Rautins - shooting Gbinije - shooting, plus a good secondary ball handler and slasher White - shooting Christams - my strategy would be to put a center on the court with 4 shooters surrounding him Notice none of my starting 5 have ever played in TBT. I don't think that's a coincidence. With a few exceptions the TBT seems to be attracting the second tier of non-NBA players, and not many from the first tier of non-NBA players. Bench Gillon - Perfect TBT player. For the reasons given above, his lack of D doesn't really matter, and he can hit the 3, plus he's quick enough to get into the lane and draw the foul and he's a 90% free throw shooter. Devendorf - the guy can just put the ball in the basket from anywhere. Nichols - still looks like a great shooter Triche - Southerland would be the perfect fit here, but man he looked bad in this year's tournament. I don't see any reason why Triche can't play forward in this kind of setting. Warrick - I'd play him at center. Tough choice between him and Onuaku, but Warrick gets the nod for one more year.
