It's interesting Ingles, I'm not a Kobe fan either and have never rated him too much as a defender. However he has been named to 12 all-defensive teams, 9 first teams and 3 second teams. He must be doing something okay defensively. Transfer that to International ball and he'd probably be one of the better defenders. But lets not make this a Kobe hating thread.

As for Durant, he's shown lately that he is a more than capable defender, does use his length well. Maybe a better one on one defender than team defender.

I'd have a team that looked like this:

C Love/Chandler
PF James/Anthony/Griffin
SF Durant/Iguodala
SG Bryant/Harden
PG Paul/Williams/Westbrook

The depth chart in a 40 minute game would look like this:

C Love(20)/Chandler(15)/Griffin(5)
PF James(25)/Anthony(10)/Griffin(5)
SF Durant(25)/Anthony(10)/Iguodala(5)
SG Bryant(20)/Harden(15)/Westbrook(5)
PG Paul(20)/Williams(15)/Westbrook(5)

Great defenders in Chandler, James, Durant, Kobe, Paul and Iguodala.

Great shooters in Durant, Kobe, Love, Harden, Anthony and Williams.

The weakest spot is probably post play with really on Kobe, LeBron and maybe Durant good post players although Griffin will look good in the post at international level.

Some good distributors in James, Harden, Paul and Williams.

Pretty decent all-round team I think. Not that it matters too much, they'll win Gold anyway!
