Solved List in a Enum?

Hello all,

Now I've been trying to create teams in the form of Enums and have a team contain all the players inside their enum. Heres my code

Code:java

 
enum Teams {
    BLUE(0, "&9&lBlue Team", new ArrayList<Player>()),
    RED(1, "&c&lRed Team", new ArrayList<Player>()),
    GREEN(2, "&a&lGreen Team", new ArrayList<Player>()),
    ORANGE(3, "&6&lOrange Team", new ArrayList<Player>());
 
    private List<Player> list;
    private int id;
    private String name;
 
    Teams(int id, String name, List<Player> list) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name= name;
        this.list = list;
    }
 
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
 
    public int getID() {
        return id;
    }
 
    public List<Player> getPlayers(){
        return list;
    }
 
    public static Teams getSmallestTeam() {
        Teams smallestteam = Teams.RED;
        for (Teams team : Teams.values()) {
            if (smallestteam.getPlayers().size() > team.getPlayers().size()) {
                smallestteam = team;
            }
        }
        return smallestteam;
    }
 
    public static void addPlayer(Player p) {
        Teams team = getSmallestTeam();
        team.getPlayers().add(p);
    }
 
    public void setPlayers(List<Player> list) {
        this.list = list;
    }
 
    public void removeAllPlayers() {
        list.clear();
    }
}
 

Now, I have that inside another class for convenience. My question is as follows; if I use this method of saving players in a enum, is this going to work and be effective? Or am I wasting my time and just save a HashMap of Teams with Players? Thanks for all the help in advance.

 

@timtower Alright, thanks for the quick help.
