Title: Make a hybrid player by combining the skills of a celtic starter and bench playe
Post by: rondohondo on October 09, 2012, 05:35:53 PM: You get to pick one skill from the starters to give to a c's bench player and vice versa . BB IQ, Shooting , ball handling, post game, defense , finishing at the hoop

You can only combine big man skills with big men on the bench, guards with guards and wings with wings

Just for the sake of this thread lets say the starters and bench are

PG: Rondo / Jet / smith
SG: Bradley / Lee / xmas
SF: PP / Green / joseph
PF: Bass / Sully / wilcox
C: KG / Darko / melo

for bench players I would combine Sullys current skills with Bass' shooting ability

for starters I would combine Bradley with Jets ball handling ability

Whats yours? only pick one player from the bench and one starter to combine skills

Post by: rondohondo on October 09, 2012, 05:54:36 PM: hmm bass' shooting with fab melo's shot blocking/defense would be interesting too....

that sounds like a 2k character lol

if anything I'd combine Bradley with Jason Terry, Bradley's defense and Jason's offense seems like a superstar player to me

Post by: moiso on October 09, 2012, 06:10:35 PM: Rondo with Terry's shooting. Or Kg with Sullinger's age.

Post by: arambone on October 09, 2012, 06:15:16 PM: Fab Melo's body and athleticism with Sully's mind and skills.

That would be like a bigger Hakeem without as much quickness.

Post by: fairweatherfan on October 09, 2012, 06:20:58 PM: I know this breaks like every rule but I'm picturing a KG/Rondo cross and it's too awesome not to share. Imagine a 7-ft PG who's an amazing defender and can drive and finish like Rondo while shooting and blocking shots like KG.

For the actual answer I guess I'd cross Pierce with Avery Bradley. That'd be pretty sick too.

EDIT: Oh, OP has AB as a starter. Well, I stand by my answer. >:(

Post by: AshyLarry on October 09, 2012, 07:06:08 PM: Duuuude.

Paul Pierce mixed with Jeff Green's height, youth, and athleticism? Best Player in the NBA right thurr.
Title: Re: Make a hybrid player by combining the skills of a celtic starter and bench playe
Post by: AshyLarry on October 09, 2012, 07:08:03 PM: Also, combine our two first round pics...

Fabricio Sullinger would easily be ROY with his height, shot blocking, athleticism, post skills, passing, and most importantly, BBIQ.
Title: Re: Make a hybrid player by combining the skills of a celtic starter and bench playe
Post by: Roy H. on October 09, 2012, 07:18:24 PM: I'd give Darko KG's skills. Then, we'd have two KG's. Best defensive frontline ever!

i think you're trying to replicate a Tim Duncan and David Robinson lol

Post by: CelticsFan9 on October 09, 2012, 07:49:15 PM: I think a Green-Rondo combo would result in a LeBron-type player. I'd take that any day.

A Melo-Sully combo would also be insanely awesome.

Instead of Darko, why not Fab Melo?!?!

We'd have a young, promising KG and a steadfast, veteran KG!

Post by: Boris Badenov on October 09, 2012, 08:54:32 PM: I'd combine KG and Sullinger, but change nothing about KG's skills.

In other words, I want a 20 year old KG.

You've gotta give Sully another 4 inches or so.

Post by: syfy9 on October 09, 2012, 08:58:23 PM: Jason Collins and Darko would be an amazing hybrid, though. Best center in the league right there. ;)

Post by: RebusRankin on October 09, 2012, 09:00:25 PM: KG's defense and rebounding with Green's offensive ability.

KG's trash talking with JET's, HOF Smack Baby.

Yeah this is the obvious answer. Really the only one that maximizes both players without changing things like height or something. All the other obvious options...meh.

The only other one that would be interesting is KG or Bass and Jet. A big who can hit a 3 and put the ball on the floor, plus a very good clutch option.

Rondo and Jason Collins.... IMAGINE IF JASON COLLINS WAS AS FAST AS RONDO!!!! (or on the contrary if Rondo moved like Jason Collins?) This game is silly

KG AND DARKO!!!

Imagine if Darko gave a crap 100% of the time and was experienced and intelligent enough to apply it.

Post by: crimson_stallion on October 10, 2012, 12:35:27 AM: Option 1 - Jeff Pierce

* Athleticism, height and length of Green

* Strength, toughness, Offensive and defensive IQ, scoring ability, passing and clutch ability of Pierce

Option 2 - Avery Terry

* Athleticism, on-ball defense and youth/potential of Bradley

* Ball handling, passing, scoring, IQ, clutch ability of Terry

The first guy would basically be like Lebron James but a better shooter with better post player and better in the clutch.

The second guy would basically be a short Kobe Bryant with young Kobe's athleticism/defense and an old Kobe's IQ and talents.

Either player would be deadly.

Don't like the sound of Avery Terry. Jason Bradley sounds better IMO. The Jeff and Pierce combo would be sick

Can we still call him Paul Pierce? I think he'd deserve it.

Also, Avery Terry would be better than Kobe imo, because of the D.

Post by: byennie on October 11, 2012, 10:29:05 PM: Pierce/ Sullinger.

Pierce is already a HOF scorer who can shoot from outside and get to the basket, now he's young again and can post up like never before. This guy could put up 30/8/5... maybe better!
