With all the talent on next years team, there will be some absolute battles in practice
Name your starting 5 for the blue and grey teams. The object is to even out the teams as much as possible even though the starters will work together the majority of the time
Blue- rivers,jesse, freeman,roy, and summers
Grey-chris, jwall,jeff, pat and macklin
Who would win in a best out of 7?

I say Grey.
but them I'm like, "hey, who the heck is gonna guard Roy?"
And I'm like "HEY YO, what about the greatness that is Jeff-Jwall?"
And I'm like....those must be wicked sick practices to witness.
And THEN I'm like...start the freakin countdown tiill Midnight Madness already.
And that's why I like my hoyas. I like them a lot.

I like Blue because they have the defensive edge. I think Rivers tough D and height gives Chris a lot of problems and Jessie plays well enough to neutralize JWall's better offensive production. That backcourt is taller and would rebound better as well.
Blue also has the edge in the post where Roy would wreck havok despite the flashes of good D Vernon showed last year.
Grey has the better wing match ups though because no one is stopping Jeff Green, but he is going to have to score more and pass less. I also think Pat has the edge over Summers and especialy in the four spot.
These teams were very balanced though it could go either way.

Can we please stop calling him JWall? Seriously. He's the Alabama Rainmaker. Get it right. |

Blue: Hibbert, Ewing Jr, Freeman, Sapp, Wright
Gray: Macklin, Green, Summers, Rivers/Crawford, Wallace
I think these teams are as even as they get. Hibbert/Macklin, Ewing/Green, Freeman/Summers and Wallace/Sapp offset each other. I put summers opposite of Hibbert to balance out the size a bit. I kept Wright and Freeman together because itd be good for them to get a rhythm with each other. Its tough to balance the guards as far as ballhandling and outside shooting. Right now youve got Crawford and Wallace as probably better shooters than Sapp and Wright. But then you have Sapp and Wright as better ballhandlers than Rivers/Crawford/Wallace.

Roy is on the way toward a historic four peat in the Kenner league, with only service to his country standing in the way! |

Blue: Macklin, Green, Ewing Jr., Sapp, Wright Bench: Rivers
Grey: Hibbert, Summers, Freeman, Crawford, Wallace Bench: Wattad, Nikita
The blue team will thrive in the fast break whereas the Grey team should thrive in the half court set.
