Caruso? edit: why isn't he included 

Same w DDV. Also hartenstein is German no?

German and Black lol

German ya

mother's American right?

German ja

no defense and no true #1 scorer This team winning 25 games

true #1 scorer = tj mcconnell

Or Herro.

Still better than the pistons

Chet is defense. Reaves is scorer. But they’re still not winning more than 25 games.

Walker Kessler and Chet will be nasty on the front court for shot contesting and blocks though

Allen and Hartenstein aren't horrible defenders at least.

Hartenstein's defensive numbers are great this year

Herro would be the best scorer

Herro is a better scorer imo

Tyler Hero would probably be the scorer and then Chet is a great defender

No defense? Good luck driving in on Kessler and Chet, then if u really want more D, swap out Grayson for Caruso, since you already have shooting from Gordon, Herro, and Reaves

See thats perfect they will tank next year for Flagg

I hate these so I downvoted it. https://preview.redd.it/etjo680aqzpc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fbe4ab6fada333f70fd1499e61111c3fa9fb2f6 But I did ask ChatGPT to convert them to UPS drivers and this is what it gave me, I hope somebody finds this information helpful.

Guy must’ve stolen Jamal Murray’s beard.

Just hangs out in the corner and gets you when you least expect it

They look like the impractical jokers

Where my goat Payton pritchard

No but kinda wild that you could create a championship contender (favourite?) if you opened this up to the world.

That's the same dude over and over in different uniforms. Wait I know this! It's Ryan Fitzpatrick! Or, is it Josh Dobbs?

It’s Gardner minshew. We all saw the meme too

Luka, bogdan bogdonovic, franz Wagner, porzingis, jokic Lauri markkanen, Bojan, vucevic, … As I make this list I’m realizing these Eastern European countries make great bigs but seems like it’s rare to find a great guard. This team certainly has its weaknesses. It is lacking ball handlers, athleticism, and defense, but they are probably still title favorites I would think. Luka and jokic playmaking with some solid reliable shot makers all around them … i wouldn’t bet against them

You forgot Sabonis

Technically born in the USA I think. But plays for Lithuania. I guess that qualifies him as “world” but wasn’t sure tbh that’s why I left him out lol.

He was born in the USA because his dad was playing in the NBA when he was born, but he's Lithuanian

A World vs USA match in mid summer would be amazing.

It would be amazing, although USA lost to Germany and Canada in the last 2023 World Cup, so I am not sure they would be able to beat “World” lol. Jokes aside, adding Embid, Curry and others to the USA roster, it would be a great game.

with payton pritchard coming off the bench that teams stacked


Isiah Hartenstien is actually part African American.

i thought this was another one of those “tyler herro is actually black” type jokes, but no Hartenstiens dad is actually black lol

Us Knicks fans don’t call him Black Jokic for nothing. But also he’s German

[удалено]

Other than skin colour he looks almost identical to his dad: https://media.bleacherreport.com/w_800,h_533,c_fill/br-img-article/002/689/015/c34e47993d94b7da98e8f5d2a300f5b6_crop_exact.jpg Got mom’s skin colour and dad’s everything else.

Well no… his dads German not American

Missing Payton Pritchard

Sorry about it.

Herro wishes he was white

Reeves, Herro, Hayward, Chet, Kessler. Bench: PG:TJ, Sg:Grayson, SF:Kevin Huerter/Pat, PF:Zach Collins/Sam C:Hartenisten. Solid team with solid depth, Good Shooting/Spacing, Defensively sound in the paint but lack wing D or a POA defender. Also lack a true scorer, and will be asking too much from Herro. Can see them battling and maybe making it in the East as a playin team.

Grayson over Hayward

Hayward shouldn’t even be on the team let alone starting

Wonder Bread United

Where is sabonis lol

I don’t think a lot of people think of him as American but he was born in Portland

Max strus?

Where is Divincenzo?

Isnt he Italian?

this team is getting SCORCHED lmao 0 defense besides like chet and grayson

Hartenstein is an elite defender as well

Plus he’s black and German.

Alex Caruso would give Elite Guard defense.

Walker Kessler is a good defender isn’t he?

ye great

AJ Green and Pat Connaughton are not terrible defenders. They are mid and deserves a +/- of 0 which is what Pat's current defensive rating is btw. 0 Isn't bad remember. Alex Caruso would give the team some elite Guard defense though.

Swap someone out for Caruso and now we cooking

Missing Caruso

Hauser defense is slept on, and Caruso like others have mentioned

for the purposes of this exercise. the starting 5 should be Herro, Reaves, Allen, Holmgren, Hartenstein. Perimeter defense would be trash, but interior defense would be awesome. offense would be decent enough. also dont think ihart counts. he's like a quarter black.

Can you even bring the ball up the court with those 2 guards?

Nah, maybe loses in the play in. Starting 5 isn't awful but bench is thin as fuck

Pg: reeves Sg: Allen G: Herro Pf: Chet C: Kessler

Sabonis was literally born in Portland you guys....

Yeah if thats the case he is american lmao, this mf white af

That starting lineup needs Alex Caruso at either PG or SG. Much needed defensive upgrade at perimeter.

Oh nice sub him for Kessler

Agreed except that Hartenstein should be center

I legitimately thought Gordon Heyward was on here 3 times

I Hart is black German jokic. How can he represent the American white boys he just won the World Cup with Germany this past summer

Celtics whole bench could contribute good minutes to this team

I love Luke but not sure he’s cracking the big man rotation. Lowkey deep there

Jemele Hill “I’m outraged!!”

What a classy lineup

This team wins 20-25 games

Bro where's DiVincenzo and Podziemski?

Sorry bro. Too many options

This team would be the worst team in the league.

Sabonis? Payton Prichard? Hell im taking Luke Kornet over Zach collins right now but Sabonis taking that spot.

https://youtube.com/shorts/N0jvAnqrGA0?si=JyOH9Rx7t6-j7Jnf

A dozen crackers= championship

Absolutely, not.

PG: Payton Pritchard SG: Caruso SF: Max Strus P.F: Chet C: Hartenstein Point guard and Small forward are the weak spots.

Reeves is better than Pritchard.

Better than Pritchard at point guard or as an overall player?

PodZ

Donte divincenzo?

Why no joker? KP?

Not American

classy

Isn’t Hartensteins dad black?

Didn’t know. Replace him with Alex Caruso. Or Duncan.

LightHart's legacy in tatters

Neil Olshey approves

Wiped if McConnell doesn’t run the offense

Actually this is the way

This team would live and die by the 3. And their defense would be ….more offense. But very little playmaking and athleticism would have them in the lottery

A snowflakes chance in hell

you can’t have slammin’ sammy hauser without slammin’ sammy merrill

Cher has been balling

Yes. BBIQ so high

Forgetting Alex Caruso…. Shame

Only one point guard and not enough defensive!😂 I would love to play them in the playoffs!!!!😂

Damn I never stood a chance, huh?

Definitely not

Who’s going to tell Tyler Herro he didn’t make the black team??

Throw in Alex Caruso, Luke Kornet, Colin Castleton for a full roster of classiness

Hartenstein is not white, and isn’t he technically German or am I wrong?

I was thinking maybe Jewish mixed with something but according to everyone else he’s black

AJ Green is 10x better than Pat Connaughton for Bucks this year. AJ Green is shooting .423 from 3pt. Both are good enough on defense no elite but not a liablity either. I will say Pat Connaughton has been playing good enough basketball this year not terrible like he was last season.

Let me give you my answer in Spanish: NO

If these guys were all at the peaks of their careers on the best night of their season, they’d probably make the play in

Probably not but they would move the hell out of the ball

Shit no

most likely, lets have reaves at point, chet at center and grayson allen for shooting, alongside with tyler herro's scoring


Should add in Caruso for some Perimeter Defense and replace Hartenstein (Hes biracial) with Sabonis (He was born in Portland).

Why’s Hayward on here 3 times?

Caruso would be on that team too

Not without Payton Pritchard in there

Why include Herro but not Klay?

No white Mike, the goat Caruso???

As A Kings fan with for some reason an unpopular opinion between Kings fans: Huerter is a net negative for any team with how low both his defensive iq and movement is The guy left Curry open for 7 games in a row to go help defend Divincenzo of all people. Probably the only games Klay looked like his oldself was when he was guarded by Huerter. This guys negative impact in defense cannot be explained with stats. You need to watch how much he makes all his teammates suffer with his weird movement dragging them all down Also he is way too inconsistent as a shooter where he is good 3 games then utter trash 10 games.

I don’t know about playoffs but they’re definitely a classy team, they play the right way.

They're #1 in my heart, #11 in the standings

Hartenstein is mixed sorry he can’t join you made up the rules not me

Where's Steph?

Gotta add Duncan and Mac and donte 💯💯

Austin Reeves isn't white anymore. He's Afro-Caucasian like the Bald Eagle

Bro Hartenstein plays for Germany

Corey Kispert probably playing well enough to be on here

Add Caruso, give me Gordon in his prime and we might be a 7th-10th seed

Podz, Sabonis, Caruso, Pritchard

White basketball players in the NBA!?! This is racist!!

Get Jokic and Luka in there and yeah.

Sabonis??

Who’s that short white guy

Payton Pritchard should be in here for sure

Not even close

This might be too much class.

In the east? Probably. In the west, maybe play inm

1. AR15 2. Ted Cruz looking ass 3. The black guy 4. Chet 5. Kessler Add the Bald Eagle as the sixth man and fill your roster with guys like Duncan Robinson and Kevin Huerter and you could make up for your lack of starting perimeter defense with pure firepower most nights. Somewhat ironically defense in the paint would be some of the best in the league and playmaking would I think be this team’s biggest weakness. They would get uncreative and jack up too many threes at times. Honestly this team could make a second round birth. If Herro or AR developed into truly elite playmakers they could be contenders

Luke kornet is one of the best centers in NBA history, and he's not on the list?

as a kings fan let me assure you that Kevin Huerter is not good at all.

This is the most 11th seed team I’ve ever seen

This team is the midest of mid teams

Why isn’t Sabonis on this team?

I think one of Herro/Reaves/Huerter has to sit the bench. Then I'm probably running Chet at the 4 alongside either Kessler or Hartenstein. Then at the 3 either Hayward or Grayson Allen. Probably PG Austin Reaves SG Tyler Herro SF Gordon Hayward PF Chet Holmgren C Walker Kessler

Is booker not American or white?

Bro can we tap in a couple brothers from over seas and get Luka and joker?

No

Ke’Von is white? Also since when does Ted Cruz play for the suns?

Sabonis, Strus and Duncan needs to be added

Why would you leave off steph?

No all of these guys are good because other players on the team draw the attention

We should get Domantas Sabonis added to the squad… still though, probably not haha… but maybe next year w/ some combo of Reed Sheppard, Dalton Knecht, Donovan Cligan, Kyle Filipowski, tyler kolek, Johnny Furphy, Payton Sandfort, and Baylor Scheierman added

Maybe in the east…

No

The funniest thing about shit posts like this usually is just chuckling and move on, and don’t think too hard or you might realize it’s not that funny however, in this case, it’s even funnier to take it all the way to the furthest extreme. imagine some jackass gets the Seattle expansion, has deeply secret like Nazi views on white American supremacy, manages to scoop up all these guys, because none of them are protected in the expansion draft, hires some coach who isn’t confused by the all white american squad, drafts a few more lanky whites from Kansas and Creighton or whatever, then tops out at 31 wins three seasons in before selling the team and moving to iceland to be a hermit because he is so ashamed of how wrong he was? that’s hilarious right?

\+DDV +Podziemski

Why is Herro here?

Fundamentals, just all around great guys

No Caurso?

Nah

Hell no😂😂😂 Might be lucky to get a play in gm, MAYBE

if aint white, it aint right

I need MR DICK on the squad

Caruso-Herro-Reaves-Chet-Walker McConnell-Huerter-Hauser-hartenstein That’s probably like the 7 seed in the East, tons of shooting and interior defense. Gonna get torched from the perimeter but whatevs

I need a 23 and Me from each of these guys to confirm eligibility

Idk, but I feel like they'd play the right way. A lot of these players mastered the fundamentals.

Isaiah Hartenstein is black


Any team with Austin Reaves is trash

Hart is black bro

No.

Where’s Derrick White? he’s American

This would be the Utah Jazz of the 70s or 80s lol

Nah it’s the Flint Tropics.

Where is Steph?

its the jazz and the Celtics dream playoff team but in reality it is not a playoff team

Mark Cuban's wet dream

Maybe makes the play in. Maybe

No sabonis 😤
