55

Offense - you have the greatest scorer ever, in Michael Jordan. You have the best point forward ever, in Scottie Pippen. Chris Mullin can get you buckets off the bench, as can VC. Lever, Billups, & Payton are very good passers. However, I have to penalize you for having Eaton, Wallace, & Mutombo - none of whom can score. 8/10

Defense - I would worry about your offense not getting you enough points IF you didn't have the greatest defensive team ever assembled. Jordan, Pippen, & Payton will keep any guards from getting into the paint. and if they do, Garnett, Mutombo, Wallace, & Eaton will throw shots out, left & right. Mullin & Carter are below average defenders, but I really don't penalize you for that, at all. 10/10 (I would give you higher if I could)

Chemistry - I actually don't see chemistry being much of an issue here. No egotists (with the exception of Horace Grant & Gary Payton), but with Pippen, Garnett, & Jordan, I wouldn't worry about that being much of an issue. I would worry that Carter's laziness would drive some of the guys crazy, but again, I can't see it ruining the chemistry too much. The biggest worry I see here is you have HIGHLY demanding teammates (Jordan & Garnett). I would worry that these two would be in a struggle for alpha dog status in practice, and this may hurt team chemistry. 9/10

Durability - Jordan never missed games. Pippen didn't miss games during his prime. Garnett, Mutombo, Payton, & Wallace never missed many games during their primes. Carter & Mullin were a bit injury prone throughout their careers, but your core guys won't miss many games. 10/10

Depth - Your starting line up is the most stacked in the draft. You can bring in scorers off the bench with Grant, Carter, Lever, & Mullin. You have the option of being a dick and bringing out a line up of Mutombo, Wallace, Garnett, Jordan, & Pippen at point. Not sure what team would score on that line up, and you still keep 3 good scorers on the floor. I do worry about Lever, Grant, Carter, & Mullin coming in and killing your defense, and seeing as how your team is predicated on defense, I have knock off a point for your lack of defensive depth.9/10

Total - 46/50
