C - Wilt Chamberlain, Zelmo Beaty
PF - Jerry Lucas, Dave DeBusschere, Lamar Odom
SF - John Havlicek, Gus Johnson, Scott Wedman
SG - Hal Greer, Bill Sharman
PG - Lenny Wilkens, Ron Harper

Offense - outside of Wilt & Hondo, I don't see too much consistent, go-to firepower. I also don't trust that you could get Wilt to pass the ball enough to run a triangle. That being said, you still have Wilt and Havlicek. 8/10

Defense - you have Wilt, who likely averaged well over 5 blocks per game for his career (sadly, they didn't keep track of these things back then). Hondo, Harper, Williams, & Odom are all solid defenders on the perimeter. But I don't trust Sharman, Lenny, or Greer guarding guys like Wade, Carter, Jordan, Kobe, Isiah, Paul, etc. However, I can't discount how huge Wilt would be inside. Not to mention, you're pretty covered at the most important part of defense - defensive rebounding. 8/10

Chemistry - outside of Wilt, I don't see many egos on this team. That being said, Wilt was a HUGE ego. The first time you ask him to defer to Havlicek in crunch time, he's going to ruin any chemistry you have. I do worry about Wilt and Lucas co-existing. Both guys were stat driven (Wilt with points, rebounds, & blocks; Lucas with rebounds). I wonder how many boards they would give up because the two of them would run over each other seeking a board. 8/10

Durability - not too many injury issues here, that I can think of. Ron Harper had knee issues; Gus Johnson missed quite a few games; but other than that, not much - Wilt rarely missed games; DeBusschere rarely missed games; Havlicek NEVER missed games; Greer rarely missed. I think you get the picture. You have a tough, durable team. 10/10

Depth - I hope Wilt never comes out of the game for you because you have no productive back up center (unless you want to go small with DeBusschere & Lucas at the 4 & 5, in which case you would get killed by a good center.) Your forward positions are by far the deepest. However, I don't like your shooting guard position. I say 7/10 here

Total - 41/50
