If they stay healthy, they're better, partly because of Adelman. But that seems very unlikely. But boy, they'll have to score a lot to outscore the teams playing them. Here's a question: who's the best player overall from the combined rosters? Here's another: if you could construct a starting five from the resources of both rosters combined, what would it be? (Having said that, I'm not sure what the starters would be, but I think Rubio, Lillard, Love and Aldridge would play in crunchtime, but who's the fifth?)
Rubio is a hell of a passer and a great defender. He'd probably be our teams best defender. Last year he was recovering from an ACL injury and playing with fill in teammates. His passing was more amazing his rookie year with better team talent.
Yeah those would be the 4 best players I think you clearly have to take them. So as a result of the positions those four play you really need a wing to pair with that group; by default either Mathews or Batum gets the nod.
I actually think so too, but until they actually SHOW it they aren't. Right now Williams, Cunningham, and Turiaf have all proven to be able to play NBA basketball. I very much think Robinson will prove to be better than all of them, and will do so with just a couple months of play, but he hasn't yet. I wouldn't be surprised for Leonard to become better...but I also wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen this year.
