Wallace, despite being undersized at center, constantly kicks butt and out-hustles everyone. And there's just something scary about Najera. He's the first Mexican player in the NBA, and you just don't want to mess with a barrier-breaker.
When you're the first of any kind to do anything, you are a certified badass.
Najera is big, strong, competitive, and determined. He knows what he has to do to get what he wants, and he does it. A hard worker, and perfect team player.
Backups: Paul Millsap; Carlos Boozer, whose chest hair alone makes him manly enough
KICK RETURNER: Earl Boykins
At 5'5" and with a nickname like Earl the Squirrel, you know this guy is a bolt of lightning.
Think Dante Hall—you think you've got him and he just jets the other way, or goes between your legs, or something. Don't forget, Boykins averaged 14.6 points a game last season, which shows fast he really is. It's one thing to be able to get by a defender—it's quite another to create enough space to score consistently. Muggsy Bogues only averaged 14 a game in high school.
Backups: Leandro Barbosa, Allen Iverson
Finally, although I said I wouldn't select linemen, if I had to throw a couple of names out there I'd choose Michael Sweetney, Rafael Araujo, Elton Brand, Darius Songaila, and Eddie Curry. Offensive or defensive lineman, whatever. You'd probably have to pack some pounds on them first, but I think most of them could handle it.
