Street?
Bam.
G Dion - handles, creates his own, defense, grit
G Devo- handles, creates his own, defense, grit
SF Carmelo - points in a hurry
PF Jerami Grant - just for electricity in the dunks, blocks
C Derrick Coleman - muscle, rebounding, points in the paint
edit: Conrad honorable mention just cause I saw him play street, West 4th street courts

 

[Trueblue25]

Watching scoop play you could tell the dude was made for local philly street basketball. Him and Rick.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Z
Deshaun
Lydon
Melo
Etan

Devo for defense?

 

[PauliePeppas]

Dion Devo Harris Melo DC

best combo of scoring toughness and intimidation

 

[Trueblue25]

Z
Deshaun
Lydon
Melo
Etan

Feel like lydon would be brutalized

 

[Eric15]

Pearl
Waiters
Melo
Either Owens or Warrick, I'll say Billy
Coleman

 

[tee1222]

Devo for defense?

Yeah, that was one too many pastes

 

[tee1222]

btw, fantastic thread idea, TrueBlue

 

[Eric15]

Z
Deshaun
Lydon
Melo
Etan

As long as Z isn't involved with collecting registration fees or anything for said pickup game.

 

[tee1222]

Feel like lydon would be brutalized

That was my brother's only move when we were young. Still took him!

 

[Bayside44]

Pearl, Sherm, Melo, Moten, DC

 

[OttoinGrotto]

As long as Z isn't involved with collecting registration fees or anything for said pickup game.

Of course not. Z was always best distributing, not getting his own.

 

[Trueblue25]

btw, fantastic thread idea, TrueBlue

The combo of basketball and football offseasons is murdering me.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Feel like lydon would be brutalized

Nah, he would dish it out.

 

[Waltdods]

Z
Deshaun
Lydon
Melo
Etan

Z and Deshaun in a backcourt would be an interesting combination of styles.

I also picture a lot of Deshaun one-on-fours while Melo shakes his head in despair.

 

[Trueblue25]

Pump fake, fool no one, get swatted across the zip code

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Pearl
Derrick Coleman
Carmelo
Stevie Thompson
a shooter—not sure. DNich, Andrew White, Andy?

 

[Brooky03]

Choosing from just players I actually watched and remember watching:

Flynn
Waiters
Wes
Melo
Rak

 

[rrlbees]

Pearl
Waiters
Melo
Roberson
Coleman

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Z and Deshaun in a backcourt would be an interesting combination of styles.

I also picture a lot of Deshaun one-on-fours while Melo shakes his head in despair.

Oh yeah, Williams and Melo are taking all the shots.

Z is fine with it. Lydon hucks up a three when a long rebound goes to him or gets garbage points inside, and Etan stops everyone on the other team from getting anything inside.
