12 man roster or just starting 5?

Steph
Klay
Doug
Sully
Dwight
Elite shooting and defense out of the backcourt, and with a volume scorer like Curry he doesn’t even need a ton of help but the rest of the starting 5 are all consistent double digit guys. Steph - Klay - Doug as your 1-2-3 is lethal and then Dwight and Sully live on put backs and should dominate the interior, plus Sully can stretch the floor a bit. Team defense is good as well, anchored by Dwight in the middle. Sully and Doug aren’t star defenders but they also are at the weakest positions in the game so we strategically chose to have our lesser defenders at spots that matter less. Steph, Klay and Dwight clamp up the more important spots. This team would also be really efficient, no big TO threats, and FG, FT and 3PT would all be solid clips as well

How can you do that with $15?

C: Jan Vesely $2

SF: Rudy Gay $2
SG: Klay Thompson $2
PG: Steph Curry $5
Depends who else is around them, but I'd say 65-17. Very fast outside, with Steph and Klay taking on the scoring responsibility. Would also have great defense and the best shot blocker in the league, in Horford.

71-11
Steph and KD offensively would be incredible. Udoh and Monroe are perfect double double bigs that don’t take shots away from the playmaking guards, but have sneaky-good volume. Gay is a perfect glue guy at SF to use as a lockdown defender. Thisstarting 5 would easily make a conference finals

Sometimes / sometimes
1. Steph
2. Dame
3. Klay
Rules weren’t specified so we’re running all out guys out of position to make it work
I always start these picking up the best value guys first then adding the expensive stars at the end. Vesely was the clear best value big here, and Klay at $2 being a flexible 2-3 option was next. Then I looked at the bigs and decided none of them were worth the money, so we took Zbo to round out the frontcourt. Left us with $9 for the last two slots. Steph was the EASY best player here, so he automatically got the $5, then Dame was by far the best of the $4 guys. Since we chose Klay already, we slid him down to the SF spot. My team wins

Steph and Klay provide scoring and defense in the back court. Steph is also a top play maker to get Howard the rock.
Dwight Howard and Epke Udoh will be able to protect the paint and rebound the basketball at a high clip, and Rudy Gay can lock down the wings and provide great scoring as the 3rd/4th option.
record: 67-15

splash bros reunited at last. Very hard to score on a Steph/Klay/Gay trio on the wings, all elite defenders. Al Jefferson gives us an elite scorer inside whenever we can’t get a good look on the perimeter. Zach Randolph still serviceable, could switch out for Udoh and Lopez. This team going 62-20

You get the best player on the entire list in Steph Curry to lead the charge. Klay Thompson for $2 is a steal considering two way ability and would make a great pair with Steph in the backcourt. I'm going with Beasley at SF just due to his all around game of size/rebounding and scoring if needed. Andray Blatche is lowkey underrated as he's a legit stretch who can block shots. Him next to Dwight who will anchor the defense is a strong front court duo.
I initially had McDermott + Sullinger but front court defense is super important and I think you can get away with a wing specialist who does a bit of everything. I'll go with 67-15

65-17. Blanche and Dwight would be a ridiculous combo in the post. Steph and Klay in an outside offense is effective and efficient. Who gives a shit about SF when you have those four. Beasley is serviceable.

Steph and klay carry the bulk of the scoring with elite efficient shooting. SF is a good position to save on beasley is quite serviceable as he is efficient and very good rebounder at the 3. Horford is the leagues best rim protector still and paired with Monroe gives a super efficient and versatile front court

Steph here is a no brainer, I'm building the team around him. He's an elite enough scorer that I can focus on defense with most of the roster. Horford is the best shot blocker in the game, Gay is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, and Klay is a a great 3&D player and can help Steph carry the scoring load. I think Klay at $2 is the biggest steal available on the board. If I was to bend the rules I'd pick Udoh over Vesely because he's a slightly better defender, but Vesely is also solid and a very good rebounder, which is nice next to Horford
I'd say this team wins 65 games

Steph (5) - KCP (4) - Gay (2) - Blatche (3) - ZBo (1)
My goal is to have elite defense and all 5 starters will have that along with elite rebounding as a team. I have shooters in the 1,2,3 position along with inside scoring from both of my bigs who can also shoot FT at a good %. I'd still run fast outside offense and both of my bigs will score without issue and at a high rate given the fact that they'll just grab the boards for easy points. Only downside to the team is lack of shot-blocking, but I think the positive from rebounding and perimeter/post defense more than makes up for it.

69-13. Steph and Klay give you the scoring you need, while horford and Monroe lock down the paintand dominate the glass. Beasley gives you a little bit of everything as your wing.

curry and Kawhi would be the best guard pairing this league has had, their offense alone will carry the team and the bigs are mainly defenders and rebounders. This team is getting 60+ wins and I don’t see them losing in the playoffs.

I think you probably have to go with Steph here given Kemba/Kyrie aren't options. I saw some similar teams but no one else had this combo of bigs. I think this team would be very efficient and have great defense. If we can cross over positions I think Jefferson would be better than lopez because of his rebounding. I think this would be a very dominant team, I will say 67-15 as the record.
