I don't think you can. Because they would own the glass with KD/AD/Zion, and obliterate you from outside. Just gotta hope Calipari is the coach and chokes it away I guess.

Blake Griffin would be a good start. He was an animal in college. Who else?
 
Q, you missed a golden opportunity to get everyone on the board to say, "I'm voting Left." All you had to do was reverse the team pics.

*Sigh.*
The Right.

Give me two good wings and I’d take that over the Oden/Kemba team at least.
 
Keep Kemba and Anthony. The other 3 Battier, Griffin, and Jay Williams and you have a good game.

5 of DRose, CP3, JWill, Harden, Juan Dixon, Hield, Battier, McDermott, Evan Turner, Kevin Love, Noah, Towns, Chris Bosh, Griffin, Hansbrough?

I don't know that I'd take them, but there could be some (talented) maturity in that mix that would be foolish to count out entirely.

Fun to think about

He would be the 3rd or 4th best player on the right. Agreed with your later post that you could probably field a team better than the left team though.

My best attempt would be:

Derrick Rose
Russell Westbrook
Ben Simmons
Blake Griffin
Joel Embiid (This is somewhat a weak pick since he got hurt at Kansas and didn't play all that well)
 
Dominate players in college

#1 D Rose
#2 Kemba Walker
#3 Kevin Durant
#4 Kevin Love
#5 Joakim Noah

Sub for 1 or 2 Steph Curry
Sub for 1 or 2 Buddy Hield
Sub for 3 M Beasley
Sub for 4 B Griffith
Sub for 5 J Embiid

Zion on any list like this makes you a joke/clickbait specialist

Derrick Rose
Russell Westbrook
Ben Simmons

Embiid was damn good that year. Stats don't show how awesome he was.

That team shoots a combined 19% from deep.

Yup. You almost need an elite shooter. I’d take

Jay Williams
Nik Stauskas
Ben Simmons
Tyler Hansbrough
Blake Griffin

Over that team. And that’s not that I think Stauskas is anywhere need those other players overall but you absolutely need someone to stretch the floor.

If you are going to add a pure shooter, add Korver

I know you said it but Stauskas belongs nowhere near these lists. You could pick about 30 different shooting guards before him.
If we're going for a team to beat the team on the left I wouldn't put Simmons on it. I'd take a guy like MKG or Shane Battier before him because of the defense. I also think you need a rim protector. So I'd probably take out Griffin for someone.

Well that's why I said it. I was just making a point.
