Frye dominated in Iceland last season but the standard there is a bit crook.

An excellent roster for the 36ers.

Ervin/Cadee
Gibson/Teys
Frye/Creek
Johnson/Anthony
Schenscher/Petrie

Or personally I would prefer as unlikely as it is:

Ervin/Cadee
Gibson/Teys
Frye/Creek
Petrie/Anthony
Schenscher/Johnson
