Team strategy was to take highly efficient players that were very well rounded. I have very few poor foul shooters (and no downright awful ones) and most of the team is right about 50% from the field. My guards can rebound and my bigs can pass. I have multiple players that played multiple positions adding to the flexibility of the team. I have 3 HOF players (Erving, Lanier, Murphy) and Haywood should make 4 and my coach was also a HOF player (Cunningham).
Stats from the seasons chosen below.
Dr. J - 29.3 p, 11.0 r, 5.0 a, 2.5 s, 1.9 b, 50.7% from the field, 33.0% from three, and 80.1% from the line and even better in the playoffs scoring nearly 35 and grabbing 12.6 rebounds a game and upping the FG% to 53.3% during one of his ABA MVP seasons as well as a title.
Lanier - 22.5 p, 13.3 r, 4.2 a, 3.0 b, and 1.2 s, over 50% from the field and nearly 80% from the line. In the playoffs, he upped his scoring to 26.3 and rebounds to 15.3 and was still just as efficient.
Haywood - 29.3 p, 12.9 r, and 2.5 a, 47.6% from the field and 83.9% from the line

Aguirre - 25.7 p, 5.3 r, 3.2 a, 1.1 s, 49.5% from the field, 35.3% from three, and 77% from the line in just 33.3 m (what I like to call instant offense)
