Good writeup.

I didn’t watch much of the World Cup but I have seen Anthony Davis with the Pelicans in person and he DOMINATED.

Although he looks like a power forward at this point.  I would play him with another big, kind of like how the Spurs play a twin 7 footer lineup with Tim Duncan.

Our 2016 team will be LOADED.

There might be as many as 10 locks right now: CP3, Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, Harden, Klay Thompson, LeBron, Carmelo, Durant, Kevin Love, and Anthony Davis.

You could make a case for Westbrook or Rose over Kyrie Irving.

Other than that, if one of the forwards is out, then you look at Blake Griffin, Paul George, Jabari Parker, and Kawhi Leonard.

If those ten guys make the team, then my last two guys would be centers.  I would pick at least one of these guys: Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMarcus Cousins, and Andre Drummond.  I like Bosh’s stretch five game.  He and Davis would offer a lot of versatility inside.  

Cousins would give you prototype scoring center.  Dwight or Drummond would give you a rebounding, shot blocking, athletic center.  Just depends on if you want a veteran or a younger guy.

Although Blake Griffin might just be too good to pass up.

Bosh and Blake as the last two bigs (or Aldridge) would round out a GREAT 2016 Olympic team which would probably be the last Olympic team for LeBron, Carmelo, Chris Paul, and probably Chris Bosh and Dwight Howard if they make the 2016 team.

I don’t think that Faried, Mason Plumlee, (or Rudy Gay) will make the 2016 team but I would at least bring them in.

What the 2016 team could use would be a Tyson Chandler type.  Maybe Nerlens Noel.
