Best shooters UK has put in the NBA but it would still struggle with floor spacing unless they went small with someone like Booker at SF
PG - Wall, Bledsoe
SG - Knight, Booker, Meeks
SF - MKG
PF - Davis, Noel, Jones, Lyles - one of these guys would just have to play SF
C - Cousins, Towns
First off sorry for the length here, but it's a good read and worth it if you are into gaming, UK basketball or NBA basketball.
Bledsoe works better as the backup 2 like when at UK. I put Rondo in the starting lineup because I can hide him on offense, but relying on his steals, assists, rebounds and overall defense. He doesn't need to score because I have wall, cousins, and Davis on my first 5, basically the same with MKG as Rondo, good rebounder, defender and passer, basically only 3 of the starting 5 take 90 percent of my shots, rondo and MKG score mostly from fastbreaks, steals, put backs and every once in a while an open jumper.
Sure I could put Bledsoe as the starting two, but my second squad would suffer for it, Bledsoe doesn't work well as a 2G. That's why I start Rondo and Wall together in the backcourt, and MKG at starting SF because the other 3 guys are crazy good on the game, almost unstoppable. Now when they are worn out, I put in a totally new five. It helps my second team so much having Bledsoe on their as the two, while Knight is a pure PG and they are my primary scorers on the backup team. My forwards are interchangeable depending on who I am playing, usually it is Booker or Prince at the SF spot because of their shooting range. My PF and C are usually Towns (PF) and Noel (C). Now if that team needs more rebounding and an inside presence I may put in Patterson at the 3, or even Randle.
The lineup of Knight, Bledsoe, Prince, Towns and Noel is a very good lineup, very fun to play with and basically the exact opposite of my starting five. 1st team is all DDM, attacking the rim, drawing fouls posting Davis and Cousins and blowing by defenders with Wall, while the Defense and rebounding on this team are top notch. The second team is more perimeter shooting, using Knight, Bledsoe and Booker/Prince as my shooters, if open they hit over 50% on threes, then I have great rebounding down low for put backs, plus with Towns stretching the floor it makes Bledsoe destroy the other teams backup SG. The same way that AD and Cousins spread the floor open for Wall to attack, not many 2G can guard Wall, he is one of the fastest and most explosive players on the game, only behind Westbrook and a few others. Noel and Towns are really fast for big men so the second teams offensive strategy is basically fast breaks, find the open shooter and put backs, FT's. The starting team is basically take your pick, post Boogie or AD and put in work, they are both great FT shooters, or I could spread the floor by pulling the 2 bigs to the corners and let Rondo and Wall attack the basket, Wall is also a great FT shooter, 88% I think.
Sorry for the long post but this game is great, best game I have ever played even non sports. I write this out so long because I wasn't to share with you guys how awesome it is to put our UK players on one team, playing in Lexington, Rupp Arena and exact replica of the UK jerseys.
Please add me if you wanna play or just ask any questions, if you are a gamer and like basketball games then this is the game for you, worth every penny. I see it for $39.99 or less all over Louisville and on eBay a used copy can go for as little as $25, and I have never have a game not work when bought off eBay.
