Doug McDermott, Forward.
G - Michael Carter-Williams

C- Nerlens Noel
I got everything I wanted for my starting 5.
2 complimentary young guards who are dynamic enough to score when needed, but also create (especially MCW). A "go-to" franchise player in the clutch, Dame.
A sniper to spread the floor for double-team kick outs, McBuckets
An athletic, big power forward who can defend and grab boards over two men, creating constant second chance opportunities. As well as catch dem alley oops.
An athletic, explosive center who can defend among the elite, rebound, and has the highest ceiling offensively to improve.
Idk about you guys but I am so very happy with my starting 5.
Play making, scoring (cold blooded scoring at that, Dame), shooting, rebounding, defense, athleticism, explosiveness, youth.
Pleased so far
I like Lillard, Faried, and Noel, I am not a fan of Doug or MCW. But, they at least have youth, and room to grow, so that part does work for me. And as a 5 man core, can't ask for much more. Would you win next year? Probably not. In 4-5 years? You'd have a real good chance.
