The Regulars vs The New Guys: Which team would win in a game?

Rookies hands down

The regulars have been remarkably good at finding ways to lose ball games, so my vote is with them losing again.

The old ones, Lowry isn't better than Jose, both of them have their pluses and minuses. And Bargnani's advantage over Acy or Valanciunas would determinate the result of the match.

The new guys would win, but it'd be ugly as hell. Most of their scoring would be on offensive rebounds, because Bargs and DD are truly abysmal rebounders, and Kleiza and Calderon are between bad and mediocre. Every single player on the new guys team is an above average rebounder, and Valanciunas and Fields are elite on the glass.

Bargnani puts up 23 points on 9-20 shooting, 1-4 from deep, and 4-5 from the line, to go with 2 rebounds. DD puts up 19 points on 8-17 shooting, including 0-2 from deep and 3-5 from the line. Amir has a big game rebounding the ball, but doesn't score much against the length of Big V. Kleiza floats around the perimeter and finishes with 6 points on 2-5 3pt shooting while contributing absolutely nothing else. Jose tries to create, and finishes with a nice line of 18pts, 13 dimes, but totally fucks the dog on defense.

The new guys shoot 36% for the game, but finish with 26 offensive rebounds, and an overall rebounding margin of 58-29. New guys by 14.
