It's great that the Pels have two elite bigs. But I might rather have one elite perimeter guy. I think a roster with Harden and 11 average players would win more than a roster with AD/Boogie and 10 average players in this new NBA

You're probably right, there's only so much impact you can have on a game if you aren't a primary ball handler. Having an elite primary ball handler is key (whether that player be a guard or wing).

I think the FB comparison would make sense if we were talking about two guys like Drummond that have an old school back to the basket game.

However, AD and Boogie have a much wider skill set than that (although Boogie can play that type of game if need be) and can shoot with range and handle the ball a little. And neither is a poor FT shooter that you have to take off the court in close games.

I understand the point though that neither can create on their own on a consistent basis and need a playmaking guard to get them the ball to really excel. It would certainly be better if one of them was an elite wing.

Watching the finals, nobody thinks the Warriors are winning because they are more imposing physically than the Cavs? Cleveland is undersized in the post, Tristan is a PF (so is Love), the Cavs don't have a true C on the roster. They tried to fix that by signing Bogut, but he was immediately injured. McGee and Pachulia have made a bigger impact than Tristan. The Cavs have no rim protection. If Cleveland had Whiteside instead of Tristan, things would be totally different.
