blogtable: best five u.s. team players for offense

he five players coach k should put on the floor when he needs scoreboard-busting offense?

steve aschburner,buynba2kmt.com:

g – kyrie irving

g – klay thompson

f – carmelo anthony

f – kevin durant

c – draymond green

this is a red, white and blue version of golden state’s death lineup, with irving, anthony and durant swapped in for steph curry, andre iguodala and harrison barnes. when you factor in the shorter 3-coin line in fiba rules, this crew — three of whom will be playing together in 2016-17, along with the reigning two-time kia mvp — would be scary-lethal. (note: no disrespect to barnes, who also is on team usa, but kd is a clear upgrade and melo is a professional scorer.)

fran blinebury, buynba2kmt.com: carmelo anthony, kevin durant, kyrie irving, klay thompson and demarcus cousins.

scott howard-cooper, buynba2kmt.com: kevin durant, klay thompson, demarcus cousins, draymond green, kyle lowry.

john schuhmann, buynba2kmt.com: first thought: kevin durant. duh. second thought: they would be best offensively with draymond green’s passing and shooting at the five, especially if kyrie irving is at the coin. now add the shooting of klay thompson and carmelo anthony and they will score rather efficiently.

sekou smith, buynba2kmt.com: start with kyrie irving and klay thompson in the backcourt, kevin durant and carmelo anthony in the frontcourt and demarcus cousins in the middle and you can blow out a few bulbs on any scoreboard. that first five firepower would be off the charts. coach k is working with an embarrassment of riches, even when some of the best and brightest don’t make the trip.

ian thomsen, buynba2kmt.com:  everyone here can create his own shot:

c – demarcus cousins

f – carmelo anthony

f – kevin durant

f – klay thompson

g – kyrie irving

lang whitaker, buynba2kmt.com’s all ball blog: i would go extra small and use a lineup of kyrie irving at the coin, with klay thompson alongside him in the backcourt. then a frontline of paul george, carmelo anthony and kevin durant. spread the floor, score. good luck finding someone on that five who can’t take advantage of a mismatch.more information is on buynba2kmt.com which is a professional nba 2k16 mt selling site.
