NBA Starting Five

[CuseJacket]

Inspired by a Tweet*, is there a starting 5 clearly superior to GT's best in the NBA right now, save for Kentucky?

You can use this link to search by school:

GT from the Tweet*:

1. Jarrett Jack
2. Anthony Morrow
3. Iman Shumpert
4. Chris Bosh
5. Derrick Favors

Here's a reminder of how ridiculous Kentucky is right now, with my selection of their top 5, and you can make arguments going 3-4 deep on the bench.

1. John Wall
2. Eric Bledsoe
3. Anthony Davis
4. Demarcus Cousins
5. Karl Anthony-Towns

Thoughts? Does this make you happy or sad?

I would of put Thad starting, and morrow off the bench

Duke has a pretty decent starting 5:

C - Jahlil Okafor
F - Jabari Parker
F - Luol Deng
G - Austin Rivers
G - Kyrie Irving

Gotta think that squad would get better as Okafor, Parker, and Rivers are still young.

UCLA:

Jrue Holiday
Russell Westbrook
Arron Afflalo
Trevor Ariza
Kevin Love (w/o Lebron)

Small lineup but could work in the right offense.

 

[jeffgt14]

You could make a good lineup with Florida if you think Bradley Beal could play point.

Maybe Texas as well:
Avery Bradley
Kevin Durant
PJ Tucker
Lamarcus Aldridge
Tristan Thompson

That one's probably just a really strong 4 man lineup with a solid defender thrown in.

Marquette isn't bad. Small, but they can all score.

Dwayne Wade
Wesley Matthews
Jimmy Butler
Steve Novak
Jae crowder

Syracuse

Melo
Waiters
MCW
W. Johnson
Jerami Grant

 

[Peacone36]

Hell you could make two for UK

Brandin Knight
Rajon Rondo
Terrence Jones
Nerlens Noel
Julius Randle


Or 3

Archie Goodwin
Devin Booker
MKG
Trey Lyles
Patrick Patterson

 

[Peacone36]

Or 4.....

James Young
Tayshaun Prince ?
Daniel Orton ?
Jodie Meeks
WCS

Not sure if some of these are still in the league

 

[GaTech4ever]

I think Wake Forest has the best starting 5 other than Kentucky:

Chris Paul
Jeff Teague
Al Farouq Aminu
James Johnson
Tim Duncan

C - Jahlil Okafor
F - Jabari Parker
F - Luol Deng
G - Austin Rivers

Maybe Redick instead of Rivers.

 

[Peacone36]

Maybe Redick instead of Rivers.

Or Rodney Hood

 

[Jacketman1]

Or Rodney Hood

Ehh, Hood is more 3 than 2

 

[Peacone36]

At this point I'd take Hood over Deng as well

 

[Jacketman1]

At this point I'd take Hood over Deng as well

For sure, and in terms of potential, I'd take Justise Winslow
