I dunno if this team is deeper than that suns team. More well-rounded I think.
Paul/payne———————-Kj/frank
Booker/shamet—————-Majerle/ainge
Bridges/cam——————Dumas/ceballos
Crowder/stix—————Barkley/Chambers
Ayton/mcgee/biyombo—-west/Miller
Shamet is the weak point with this years squad. Frank and the centers were weak point of ‘93 squad. So this years squad is likely overall more talented, but Barkley being the most talented of all the players may have evened that out. Very close squads talent-wise.
Payne way better than Frank, Paul a little better than KJ
Booker way better than Majerle, Ainge better than shamet
Bridges/Cam - Dumas/Ceballos is about a push, but I give a slight edge to Bridges and Cam
Barkley way better than Crowder, Chambers by 93 is about a push with stix
Ayton way better than west, Mcgee better than Miller, and Biyombo also a big bonus.
This team clearly seems deeper to me, as Ainge is the only backup superior to our current backups
Barkley's huge advantage over Crowder is what evens the teams out, but after writing this all out I am now leaning towards this team being slightly better.
