Bradley Beal, Chandler Parsons, Al Horford

In his fifth season, Bradley Beal has become one of the best young scorers in the game. This season, he averaged 23.1 points while shooting 40 percent from three. He’s a prototype wing scorer, but in a 3-on-3 format, he could play point guard.

Don’t let the contract fool you, Chandler Parsons can still play. He might not be worth the 4-year, $94 million contract he signed last summer, but almost nobody in the NBA is worth the contract they signed last summer. At 6’10, Parsons is a complete player with the ability to score, pass, and defend. He provides a lot of mismatch problems.

Speaking of absurd contracts, Al Horford is the Gators’ third member of the squad. Despite signing a 4-year, $113 million deal last summer, Horford is a long way away from the 17-and-10 player he was back in 2013. But he might still be the most well-rounded big guy in the league. Last season he averaged 14.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, (career-high) 5.0 assists, and 1.3 blocks, and he’s also added threes to his repertoire. This Gators team would be tough to beat.
