Defensive Line

Much like the O-line, this is an area where the NBA doesn’t have the same amount of size as NFL linemen, but these guys would be as tenacious as any on the football field.

For the purpose of this roster, we’re going to use a 3-4 defense, with two cornerbacks and two safeties.

Nose Tackle: Kendrick Perkins – 6’10”, 270 pounds. Big Perk would hold down the fort.

Left End: DeMarcus Cousins – 6’11”, 270 pounds. Does anyone really want Boogie staring them down before the snap?

Right End: Zach Randolph – 6’9″, 260 pounds. I’m sorry, but Z-Bo would make life miserable for any opposing offensive linemen.
