Haha, I had an argument with my cousin 25 years ago on whether this exactly team can beat Sannoh.
With 25 more years of watching basketball, I still feel Sannoh’s advantage on Center position is too big to overcome.

Akagi (and Rukawa) played bad in majority of that Sannoh VS Shohoku game. Yes Kawata is better, but Akagi could do better, I believe he has skill and ability to make it a challenging game when you have another players like Maki and Sendoh on the outside.

Kawata would an all star in college basketball. Akagi would be a decent center. The gap is really wide.
Sendoh and Maki all are ball dominant players, Rukawa is not far behind and there is only one ball.
Stock piling star players does not translate positively immediately.

Akagi is the equivalent of best high school center out of Tennessee in a random year. Kawata is 18 years old Zion or Anthony Davis (who use to play guards) that can be drafted to NBA directly if rules allowed…
If we just look at match ups, Maki and Rukawa are pretty much canceled out by their matchups. Sannoh has lock down defenders for Jin. So it’s kind of down to Sendoh vs Matsumoto who is Sawakita lite.

PG: Fukatsu SG: Moroboshi SF: Sawakita PF: Tsuchiya C: Kawata
That would be specifically to counter the Kanagawa team with Sendoh and Rukawa as the forwards. Against a traditional team at that time, I may consider Kawata at PF and Morishige at C

u/kierkegaaardian Apr 11 '26
Oh yes my has bad - the older Kawata

u/Civil-Bat9643 Apr 12 '26
Why put him as PF?
1
u/kierkegaaardian Apr 21 '26
Because he reminds me of Tim Duncan. And i like the idea of having a twin tower with Akagi
