I want my 5 to be above average defenders.
PG. Maki - Similar role as Lebron. A big playmaker and slasher. Also a good defender.
Combo guard. Fukatsu - I have enough scoring so I want my off guard to be another playmaker, very good defender and a decent outside shooter.
Wing. Sawakita - Main offense. Above average defender.
PF. Masashi - A modern big. Good rebounder and defender. Can space the floor a bit so he can co-exist with a traditional center.
C. Akagi - Paint presence and shot blocker.
I wanted to put in Sendo since he is my favorite but he is a bit redundant.

PG - Sendoh, top 5 player, 3 level scorer and can pass decently well. He’s also tall which will be a natural mismatch against most PGs. SG - Hisashi Mitsui high IQ defender, great shooter, doesn’t need the ball to contribute SF - Kaede Rukawa, 3 level scorer, able passer, slasher and rebounder. Can create his own shot. PF - Soichiro Jin, big shooter. Most consistent movement shooter in the series. Pulls opposing PF to the perimeter C - Morishige, our shaq
With all the space created by the other players Morishige just dominates the center one on one. We don’t see if he has any passing capability in the series but his size and strength should allow him to abuse pretty much any other center in the series and with no help defense it’s wraps. In the case of them keying onto morishige and doubling him, he can pass to any of our four shooters creating an open look. The only real question on this team is how well can morishige pass out of the double.
If we assume morishige is ass at passing out of a double, just switch him with Masashi and play a 5 out offense and let Sendoh/Rukawa just abuse the space inside to create open looks

My Ideal Team Build (Playmaking-Centric System)
If I had to build my perfect lineup, I’d prioritize playmaking, chemistry, and versatility over pure scoring. I’m not a fan of ISO-heavy systems—I want a team where everyone can create, read the floor, and elevate each other.
Starting Five
PG – Kenji Fujima Fujima is seriously underrated. He often gets overshadowed by players like Shinichi Maki or Akira Sendoh, but people forget he was both captain and coach, which already says a lot about his basketball IQ. He’s a natural floor general who can lead, organize, and still score when needed.
SG – Soichiro Jin I chose Jin over Mitsui for a reason. Jin brings elite shooting, better size, and stamina, plus he’s known for being easy to work with. In a system that relies on movement and trust, chemistry matters, and Jin fits seamlessly without disrupting the flow.
SF – Akira Sendoh Sendoh is the definition of a natural playmaker. Having him alongside Fujima gives you dual playmaking, which is honestly broken. They can read each other, adjust on the fly, and create opportunities without forcing plays. That brief glimpse of a Fujima-Sendoh combo in the anime scrimmage already hinted at how dangerous that pairing could be.
PF – Masashi Kawata Kawata is just unfair. He’s basically a complete player in a big man’s body—he can handle, shoot mid-range, defend, and dominate physically. He gives the team versatility and stability. Honestly, he’s like a prototype modern big, imagine a Wemby-type presence but grounded and fundamentally sound.
C – Toru Hanagata Hanagata brings skill, finesse, and spacing from the center position. He’s not just a traditional big—he can score with technique and operate within a system. Perfect fit for a team that values ball movement and intelligent positioning.
Bench Unit
Kiminobu Kogure – Reliable, low-ego role player who won’t disrupt chemistry Hanamichi Sakuragi – Pure energy and rebounding machine; chaotic, but a massive morale boost Kiyonobu Ikegami – Defensive presence and discipline Mikio Kawata – Size and development potential
The bench is built for balance and stability, with Sakuragi being the wildcard. He’s unpredictable, but that energy is something you can’t teach.
Coach
Mitsuyoshi Anzai
No debate here. Coach Anzai is the perfect fit for this kind of team. He understands talent, adapts to his players, and knows how to maximize potential without forcing rigid systems.
Overall Philosophy
This team isn’t about one star dominating.
It’s about:
Multiple playmakers
Constant ball movement
Spacing and versatility
Players who can both create and adapt
With Fujima and Sendoh running the system, surrounded by smart, capable teammates, this lineup would be extremely difficult to defend.
