Who are the best role players at each position? Not the young players who are going to be stars and just have not filled their potential yet. I mean the guys who are going to be role players their entire careers, who play the hardest, take the toughest assignments, and don’t get a whole lot of credit. Guys who will never make an all-star game, but are extremely important to their team.

PG – Fisher
SG – Afflalo
SF – Battier
PF – Scola
C – Perkins

That is a quick lineup off the top of my head. SG is a tough one to find.

Give me your All NBA Role Player Team.

[tli232]

Wing defense specialist: Battier/ Artest

Man to man post defender: Perkins/ Kurt Thomas

Three point spot up guy: Korver/ Kapono

Energy Weakside shotblocker and lane filler: Serge Ibaka

Wing Fast Break Lane filler: Sonny Weems/ Corey Brewer

Combo guard bench scorer: Flip Murray/ Jason Terry

Spot Up stretch Big man: Channing Frye

 

 

[ChabvisParticipant]

Nice, I like that take.

What if you put them into a team like I did? Then who do is your five.

[tli232]

If I want to win games, I’d have the following

PG: Jason Terry (can score 25 a game if needed)

SG: Battier (can spot up for three as well on drive and kicks)

SF: Corey Brewer (can defend quite well also)

PF: Frye (under rated effort on Defense)

C: Perkins (Takes the tougher of the post assignments)

[ChabvisParticipant]

Yep like that team a lot more than mine.

[PlatypusParticipant]

Pg Lindsey Hunter
Sg Bob Sura
Sf Shane Battier
Pf Carl Landry
C Kurt Thomas

PG Kirk Hinrich – I’ve always liked his defense, leadership and passing ability.

SG Anthony Morrow – He’s been one of the best shooters in the league the last two years but ppl forget about him because he plays on a very forgetable Warriors squad.

F Jeff Green – At OKC he will never be more than third fiddle to Durant and Westbrook but he is a very valuable role player to the Thunder. Probably a better fit at SF than in the low post.

F Lamar Odom – The 31 year old has never made an all-star game but has proven himself worthy of his 4th overall selection with his fantastic versatility and all-around game.

C Marcus Camby – Even at 36 he’s still one of the best rebounders and shot blockers in the league.

Bob Sura is a legend

[T-Wolvesfan13Participant]

pg-Andra Miller the guy can plays tough D and makes big shots and he can put up 20 any night
sg-Shane Battier he is one of the toughest guys in the whole Nba!
sf- Corey brewer all the way! He is a very good defender
pf-David Lee the guy has not been to any All-star games but he plays with more heart then anyone out there! He could be a great 3rd option on a title team!
c- Perkins for all the reasons above

I know Battier and Brewer have been said already but they are great at what they do so i needed to put them up here. Please let me know what you think of my 5

[NYK2010Participant]

Definately need someone from the Suns on this list

PG – Fisher not just becaz he’s clutch, drawing offensive fouls and making good decisions with the ball.
SG – Affalo he’s a solid player who can hit the 3.
SF – Corey Brewer good player with athleticism and improved jump shot.
PF – Channing Frye a very good shooter, instant offense.
C – Perkins he battles the bigs, plays D, rebs.

[MrWoLeeParticipant]

PG- Derek Fisher- clutch, smart, hustles
SG- Kelenna Azibuke- before he was hurt, dude was solid; can score inside and out, plays D, and is an underrated rebounder
SF- Jared Dudley- like Battier, hustles 24/7, loves to play D, and can shoot, but I just like Dudley better lol
PF- Carl Landry- he’s a Warrior, straight up, anybody who gets shot and breaks a couple teeth, and you STILL have to force him to sit out a game? Give me him any day
C- Ronny Turiaf- plays defense, can hit the open jumper, and his dancing! (jk)

and Caleb, David Lee actually made the all-star team this season, although as an injury replacement

[DinoRadjaParticipant]

PG- Kyle Lowry- has good handles and plays very physical defense.
SG- Tony Allen from the Celtics because he is stuck behind 2 stars in Pierce and Allen, but ehn he comes in he knows his role is to play defense of the other teams best wing.
SF- Shane Battier- guy does whatever you ask of him and he can play shotdown defense
PF- Im going to go with Luis Scola because of his hard working attitude and seems to always know where to be.
C- Chris Anderson- for all the toughness on defense and energy he provides.

6TH Man- Jason Terry- Perfect role for this guy. If hes on watch out.

[the_shamwow_guyParticipant]

PG: Jose Calderon- His efficency is what i really like about hime
SG:Leonardo Barbosa-I love Speed and you don’t get much faster then Barbosa also can score in a hurry
SF: Shane Battier- Not cocky and does his role better then anyone else
PF:Brian Scalibrine- Cause i love when he scores and the crowd just errupts from it lol
C:Chris “birdman”Anderson- Love watching him fun player
Honorable Mentions
Manu Ginobli
Grant Hill
Lamar Odom
Kirk Hinrich
Andre Miller

[BlazermannParticipant]

shane and scola melt my heart with there i.qs those two guys are reasons i respect the rockets

[kanebangerParticipant]

david lee was an all star this season

[omar dayzeParticipant]

definately feeling Azubuike…

Anthony Parker will give you some D, money from 3, never makes a stupid play and never tries to do too much.

[JNixonParticipant]

I love Azubuike’s game. Can shoot, defend and rebound. Very physical gifted and athletic too. My role player team:

PG: Derek Fisher (Can’t guard quick PG’s anymore, but he’s clutch and still gives a hard effort on both ends)
SG: Thabo Sefolosha (I honestly think he’s the best perimeter defender in the game)
SF: Jeff Green (Can do a little of everything, and gives the Thunder a nice mismatch threat)
PF: Carl Landry (Can score and gets dirty down low. A fighter)
C: Joakim Noah (One of the top defenders and rebounders down low and he plays hard. Knows he can’t really score so he effects the game everywhere else)

[ItsVictorOladipoParticipant]

Good call on Noah. Frankly I think Noah will eventually get to an all-star game or two. That was the only reason I didn’t have him on my team.

I mean if Chales Oakley, Horace Grant, Dale Davis, Antonio Davis and Jamaal Magloire could all make an all-star team with heart, rebounding, toughness and defense I don’t see why Noah can’t.

[T-Wolvesfan13Participant]

Oh sorry i didnt think he made it. But Lee should be a role player on a really good team.

[ChabvisParticipant]

Yeah I didn’t put Noah in my team because I assume that he will make a couple all-star games.
