What do you see that you don't like?
I think that is a stretch. You would be starting Wood/Collins/Luka/Brunson. There is not a plus defender in that group and arguments could be made on a couple of them being below average. Dorian is not going to be able to drag that group into a top 10 defense. No matter how good the offense is, its hard to see a team that is average defensively be a legit contender. Teams like that never seem to go all the way.
