<p style="text-align: left">A current trend in professional basketball is the attempt to create "Super Teams". These are teams like the Golden State Warriors, who assemble a cast of stars together on the same roster. The stars on Super Teams have a combination of elite skills and the willingness to take on roles for the team. I had 4 coaches and trainers from Michigan draft their own Super Teams. Here’s the results:</p>

<h2>The Bracket</h2>
Team A vs. Team D
Team B vs. Team C
<h2>The Results / My Predictions</h2>
1ST ROUND-
Team A defeats Team D: This one goes to OT. Team A wins because of their ability to push the ball and get transition buckets with Srothers, Terry, and Hammell. Team A wins by 2.
Team C defeats Team B: Powell’s athleticism creates to many good looks at the bucket for Ayrault. Team C wins by 6.
CONSOLATION CHAMPIONSHIP
Team D defeats Team B. Team D just has to many options on offense, combined with Moore’s stellar defense. Team D wins by 7.
THE FINALS
Team A defeats Team C: [player_tooltip player_id="2386" first="Rickea" last="Jackson"], a collection of athletic guards, and a do it all stat sheet stuffer in [player_tooltip player_id="22336" first="Alexis" last="Johnson"] are too much. Team A wins by 4.
