Rationale for my team.  I want a balance of offense and defense and ability to score from every level.  Obviously this game is close to zero sum.  You choose one player from each position and exclude four others.

AJ
Ray
Giffey
Donyell
Drummond

AJ had a plenty strong handle and I'm taking Ray's handle against the second best perimeter defender's ability to stop Ray.  Both AJ and Ray could bang three's all day and could also hit the 15' shot off one dribble.  Neils and Donyell could also hit the three no problem.
I'm going with the classic 4 out 1 in offense.  Only Husky who could guard Andre straight up in the post is Emeka. I'm taking Donyell against any lineup with Emeka and whomever you have as your four.  Plus, if Emeka has to rotate to guard Donyell at the rim, Dre is the premier offense rebounder.  I can't think of any other combination of inside players who can hit offensive boards better.  Plus, both Donyell and Dre can simply outjump defender to grab the board.  
Dre, Donyell and Neils give me three very good defensive rebounders and Neils and Donyell give me plenty of length on the perimeter to feed to Dre for blocks and then clean up the rebounds.
