Driving Miss Daisy

3. pbandj - Michael Jordan, Bam Adebayo, Jonas Valanciunas, Serge Ibaka, Devin Booker, Tree Rollins, Jonathan Isaac, Ray Allen, Derek Harper, Jalen Johnson, Tari Eason, Alperen Sengun

Batman - 88-89 Michael Jordan - THE BATMAN, unless you're looking at the guy in the black suit with pointed ears. 32.1 usage%, 54.6% eggs, 21.5CReb% at guard, 22.8 assist%, 40 minutes per game of 90 D, 3.1 steal%, 793 FTA at 85%. Pretty good.

Robin - 19-20 Bam Adebayo - 21.2 usage%, 55.8% eggs, 31.4CReb%, 18.8 assist%, 80D. Solid.

Alfred - Bam Adebayo is really the closest thing to an Alfred for me, but I'm also going to mention 19-20 Jonas Valanciunas here. 21.5 usage%, with 60.6% eggs and 41.7 CReb%. He will make contributions to the cause.

Offense - The worst eggs in the starting five comes from Michael Jordan, and we are not going to complain about him. Valanciunas, Adebayo, Ray Allen and Serge Ibaka all have eggs of between 55.8% and 60.6%. Devin Booker is an excellent backup for MJ, and also backs up Ray Allen. The offense is not great at threes, but should still score efficiently.

Defense - It's a mixed bag. Jordan is great, Allen can hide behind him. Adebayo is good, JV can hide behind him. Ibaka is terrific, with a 98 D rating and a 5.5 block%. Tree Rollins (100 D), Jonathon Isaac (100 D) and Tari Eason (92 D) should all help slow down the other team in limited minutes.

Rebounding - The DReb% of the starters is 93.8. Fine. The OReb% is 37.8. Good. We will call their rebounding fine and good. Tree Rollins has a CReb% of 38.5 from the bench, so that should help when he is in there.

Passing - The starters combined assist% in 61.6, which is a little low, but okay. When backups play, the passing can sometimes dip into the 40s, which isn't preferred. Alperen Sengun helps here with 17.7%. If you wake up some day and find out that his name is Alperen Malone it will be because Eric adopted him.

Midge score - 1,974 - 674 (FTM) + 652 (rebounds) + 648 (assists) = 1,974. The don't call him The Goat for nothing.

2. benhoidal - Wilt Chamberlain, Tyrese Haliburton, Daniel Gafford, Sidney Moncrief, Kristaps Porzingis, Amare Stoudemire, Vince Carter, Paul Reed, Dwight Powell, Mark Williams, Cheick Diallo, Boban Marjanovic

Batman - 66-67 Wilt Chamberlain - He averaged 24.2 points and 24.2 rebounds per game. 68.3% eggs, 43.4 CReb%, 17.1 assist%, 4.4 block%, 45.5 minutes per game of 90 D. He is a great center and a great backup center all rolled into one tidy package. (A tidy 7' 1'' 250 pound package.)

Robin - 24-25 Tyrese Haliburton - The other day I searched for all of the players with 30+ assist% and less than 10 turnover%. There was one. The 24-25 Tyrese Haliburton. Great guy to play with Wilt. 21.8 usage%, 58.2% eggs, 30.5 assist%, 9,8 turnover%, 71 D. That's 673 assists with only 120 turnovers and only 92 fouls committed for the whole season. I will be shocked if this team doesn't win World 3.

Alfred - I am going to name Wilt and Tyrese co-Alfreds. I can do it. Yes, I can.

Offense - Wilt, Tyrese, some other guys, they'll be fine. Dwight Powell, Daniel Gafford and Mark Williams all come off the bench with a lot of eggs. Vince Carter and Amare Stoudemire provide usage when you need it.

Defense - In the playoffs Wilt be out there for 48 minutes per game with 90 D and 26.9 DReb%. Sidney Moncrief and his 100 D shuts down opposing guards for about 33 minutes per game. Gafford (5.3%) and Kristaps Porzingas (3.5%) will help Wilt (4.4%) with the shot blocking. The rest of the team is pretty so so, but having Wilt and Moncrief out there is great.

Rebounding - The starters (Chamberlain, Porzingis, Paul Reed, Moncrief and Haliburton) are at 44.2 OReb%. Yikes! The DReb% is 82.1. Not yikes!

Passing - The starters combine for 75.7 assist%. Isn't it enough to have Wilt without having good passing on top of Wilt? Ben, you're just mean.

Midge score - 20,000 - Or so Wilt claimed. He said this when he was 55 years old. Say he started keeping track when he was 15, that's about 1.3 women a day for 40 years. Would he have played 55 minutes per game if he wasn't so tired?

1. 20ks - LeBron James, Bill Russell, Horace Grant, Mitchell Robinson, Gerald Wallace, Jerry West, Eddie Jones, Bob McAdoo, Rodney McCray, Elgin Baylor, George Gervin, Kyle Korver

Batman - 12-13 LeBron James - 30.4 usage%, 60.3% eggs, 23.3 CReb%, 24.2 assist%, 90 D, 40% from threeville.....nothing to see here. One thing I noticed about having LeBron is that on top of everything else he doesn't foul much, only 110 fouls this season.

Robin - 60-61 Elgin Baylor - The good.....90 D and 35.1 CReb% which appears to be making its appearance at SG. The bad.....sure, he will score points, but it's 31.6 usage% (higher than LBJ) and 44.3% eggs (lower than LBJ). Elgin will be taking shots away from LeBron. Is that really what you want? 345 turnovers. That is a lot of turnovers by one person not named George McGinnis.

Alfred - 63-64 Bill Russell - 44 minutes per game of 100 D and 44.6 CReb%. With Elgin Baylor as a teammate, you probably don't have to worry much about Russell shooting too often.

Offense - Apart from LeBron James, I'm not very excited about this offense. This is the best LeBron James, why wouldn't you surround him with a better Bob McAdoo and a better Jerry West and a better Gerald Wallace, just to name a few?

Defense - The starters are excellent, with James, Baylor, Russell, Horace Grant and Mitchell Robinson. That's a 90.2 average. There is no way the bench can keep up with that, but 90.2 is outstanding!

Rebounding - Okay, let's see the starters are 52.5 OReb%. Maybe it doesn't matter that they can't shoot, they will just keep chucking them up there until one of them goes in. The DReb% is 111.9. You had better make your first shot. The CReb% is 164.4%. I'm beginning to see the game plan now.

Passing - The starters have a total assist% of 60.5. When LeBron sits it's probably going to be a little worse. Compared to the team rebounding, the passing doesn't seem to matter much.

Midge score - 1,979 - That is how many rebounds Bill Russell had this season. Don't we get all excited now when someone gets over a thousand?

There are only 24 of us in this league, but so far today this thread has had over 300 views. I can only assume a bunch of Pulitzer Prize people have been checking it out.
