    If you're the defense, would you want the ball in someone else's hands if the other players on the court were Aaron Gray, Ed Davis, James Johnson, and Jose Calderon?

    I say yes but if you have a different opinion, I'd like to hear your rationale.
    In theory, yes. I agree with the logic. DeRozan is the best scorer in this hypothetical unit. But unless he's posting up, it wouldn't be wise to send a 2nd defender at him because he plays on the wing. He would see the double-team coming well before the 2nd defender arrives. It's much easier to pass out of a double team on the wing, than in the post. It's why you don't see many teams do it unless a guy like Kobe's scored 20 pts in a quarter, and they're desperate to cool him down by making him give up the ball.

    If I were defending this lineup, I would think DeRozan taking contested shots would be better than anyone else taking wide open shots.
