So I conducted a little study to see which teams have the strongest starting lineups and benches by using Pts/Reb/Ast. I took the 5 starters from every team and the 5 backups for each position on each team and found their Pts/Reb/Ast stats. I then used the differences between the starters and bench players to figure who is the most needed players on the starting lineup and the bench. So here they go.

Best Teams: This is the additive Pts/Reb/Ast of the 5 starters and the 5 reserves for each position [Team(Pts/Reb/Ast)]. The average Pts/Reb/Ast per team is about 171.4.

1.Denver(189.9) 2.Minnesota(185.2) 3.Golden State(185.1) 4.Boston(184.9) 4.Chicago(184.9) 6.Washington(180.8) 7.Houston(180.2) 8.Oklahoma City(178.2) 9.New York(177.9) 10.Phoenix(176.7) 11.Clippers(176.1) 12.Lakers(176) 13.San Antonio(175.5) 14.Miami(172.1) 15.Atlanta(169.8) 16.Toronto(168.9) 17.Milwaukee(168.4) 18.Dallas(167.6) 19.Philadelphia(166.4) 20.Indiana(165.9) 21.Portland(165.1) 22.Orlando(164.4) 23.New Jersey(163.9) 24.Charlotte(162.6) 25.Memphis(162) 26.New Orleans(161.7) 27.Utah(161.2) 28.Cleveland(160.5) 29.Sacramento(158.1) 30.Detroit(152.8).

Usually the team with the best starters would have the worst bench and vice versa (all stat wise so this is good for fantasy but not so much for reality)
