What team has the best 2nd unit? If all your starters were injured who would be the top team in the league?

Maybe OKC, Atlanta or Minnesota or the Pels? I’d lean towards Minnesota

[–] rumblegod@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nah we’re very streaky. We have a touch schedule to see if we’re legit or not

Magic gotta be up there stats wise

[–] curtisrambis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Cole, Gary, Ingles, Isaac, Mo Wagner.. they’ve been a huge part to the team’s success to those catching up. Major bench scoring advantage every night so far

[–] Happy_Requirement187@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

ATL gotta be up there with Bogi, Saddiq Bey, and Okongwu typically running with either Trae or Dejountae. Any of those 3 guys could be a quality starter on a lot of teams. All 3 are well rounded, and Bogi and Okongwu each have an elite skill (shooting for Bogi, shot blocking for OO)

If all your starters were injured

If?

[–] Sn33kykitty@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Lowkey it's the Pistons

If healthy

Monte Morris Alec Burks Joe Harris Bojan Bagley

[–] superlazerX@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

lowkey? 3/5 of those aren't playing

[–] Dat_one_lad@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

13 straight

[–] ImTheBestNerd@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Warriors with CP3

[–] AlwaysOptimism@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pelicans when healthy bench is Trey Murphy, Jordan Hawkins, Jose Alvarado, Dyson Daniels, and Nance

Uhhh Larry is about to be sent to the gulag for being terrible every game

[–] InTheMorning_Nightss@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

We’ll gladly take him

[–] jonnylaw@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You don't need 10 anyway. Pels stacked.

[–] jellyfamjohn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I know I’m biased but the Lakeshow probably have the best in the league: Gabe, Reaves, Rui, Vando, Wood

maybe there are better benches out there, but I honestly wouldn't trade the Knicks bench as a whole for any other bench in the league

Quickley - DiVincenzo - Hart - Hartenstein

[–] literallyaplank@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Magic 100%

Cole, Mr Glass, MORITZ WAGNER, Jingle, Gary Harris.

[–] 300_yard_drives@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They fit together so well too. Everyone has a nitche role and excels at it

[–] Right-Worth-6327@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I like our bench - Aaron Holiday, Amen Thompson, Jae'Sean Tate, Tari Eason, Jeff Green. Great defensive second unit and has been a big reason we're number 1 defence in the league.

[–] jschneider414@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jordan Goodwin, Eric Gordon, Grayson Allen, Keita Bates Diop, and Drew Eubanks ain’t bad

[–] nathanielsnurpis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kings for sure. Davion, Monk, Duarte, Vezenkov, Lyles.

[–] Inevitable-Paint-650@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I like our bench too all rookies and one second year guy

[–] Harman3112@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That’s just our normal team these days

[–] jett1406@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

everyone in this thread:

I know I’m biased but our team has the best bench

[–] Acrobatic_Flatworm79@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Raptors fans in shambles

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Grizzlies? Their second and third stringers are playing decent minutes

[–] 300_yard_drives@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The magic by far. Cole Anthony Gary Harris Jon Isaac Mo Wagner and Joe Ingles. We have an offensive savant in Wagner, a defensive savant in Isaac, 2 snipers in Ingles and Harris, and Cole Mr personality and charisma running the point. Future is bright

[–] dontletmecook73@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Offensively? Probably the Magic. Defensively? Probably the Thunder

[–] safwan105@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Magic 2nd unit is the best, followed closely behind by the pacers
