Anthony Davis and John Wall, on their best nights, are absolute monsters for fantasy teams. An elite Davis performance alone could win an entire match-up, while Wall’s stat-stuffing makes up for any other player who didn’t live up to expectations. Drafting either of these players (or, somehow, both) is a no-brainer – Davis will go first overall in many fantasy drafts this year.
But what about afterwards? Who else should you put on your team to absolutely dominate your weekly match-ups? Red Bull asked Wall and Davis for their perspectives.

The Brow’s line up features Steph Curry, James Harden, LeBron James, himself, and DeMarcus Cousins. Wall’s team, meanwhile, is himself, Paul George, LeBron, Davis and DeAndre Jordan. Wall said that if he couldn’t take himself, he’d take Russell Westbrook.
Obviously, these are incredibly unrealistic lineups, because all of these players would be gone by the end of the first round. But, for argument’s sake, let’s just say somehow, someway, you lucked into either of these lineups.
In the real world, obviously both of those teams would be dominant, but they’re even more so in fantasy because most leagues don’t account for defense. Playing out the season would be pointless, an exercise in futility. The second you put that lineup together, you’ve already won. If you were in a money league, you’d just have the rest of your friends pay up, because they have no hope of winning.
