2023-2024 NBA Salary Cap Draft - SECOND Annual Battle for the Wikkid Cup - Preseason Rankings are In! (1 Viewer)

I posted this in the wrong thread earlier, lol.

Some FISHY 4th quarter reffing up in Sac Town tonight. I'm having flashbacks back to 2002 ffs. Not challenging Sabonis 6th foul was a big error that isn't helping the Kings either.

Pretty sure you still posted this in the wrong thread. That said, as sad as it is to say, if you watch Sacramento basketball for long enough, you get used to it.
 
Sorry for the delay, wasn't able to check in last night.

3.18 - Michael Porter Jr, DEN, SF, $33,386,850

Elite shooter at 6'10", so he can get his shot up over anyone. Another year removed from his back injury, he's playing better defensively and has already been a good rebounder for his position.

@Jayrod is up.
 
4.19 - Malcolm Brogdon, PG, POR

Great shooter (former 50/40/90 club, 44% from 3 last year) and good defender. Reigning 6th MOTY will compliment Maxey well and keep the floor spaced while upgrading the team's defense. He may not get to start this year in Portland since they are developing a young team, but he'll likely be traded during the season and could likely be a starter again by years end.

@Chemical X is up for 2

4.xx - Kyle Kuzma, Capital Bullets
5.xx - Ausar Thompson, Twins


Forgot i should write a bit. Seems a lock for between 20-25 points a night, big minutes, hits 3s and rebounds enough for a 6'9" guy. Ausar is exactly who we thought he was, athletic with defensive chops that will stuff the stat sheet and can't shoot a lick. Sub <$10mm salary and can be a 5th option on this team right now. Siakam, Thompson and Duren seem to be 3 high quality defenders.

NBA should do away with the foul out rule. After your 6th, if commit the foul, it's 3 shots and possession.
 
5.02 - Bobby Portis, PF/C, MIL $11,710,818

Versatility, defense and shooting are important to me and Bobby provides it all. He may only start 1/4 of the time but he is invaluable to the Bucks and will be so to this team as well. Useful as a smaller center or double big PF, can stretch the floor with corner threes, defend well and rebound. I wanted Brook Lopez here, but Bobby isn't a bad consolation prize.

Now I just cross my fingers and pray the other guy I wanted survives the next 36 picks but I highly doubt it. Too many savvy drafters in this thing.

Good thing we are eliminating the three point shot in this league.
 
5.03 - Malik Beasley, MIL, SG, 2,709,849

Going the extreme budget route here to start making the numbers work with 3 high-salary guys. Beasley is starting for a really good Bucks team and will be the sixth man on this squad. Still a great shooter who will be getting a lot of open looks playing with Lebron. Defense is a concern with him, but a great sparkplug scorer for the bench.

@Yo Mama is up.

You have mentioned defense in descriptions of your previous two picks. Brogdon and Portis. Sorry, but they both suck on defense

The only guys who averaged more 3PA per 36 last year were Curry and Klay. He'll get up a ****ing ton of them.

It's called "salesmanship". They both play defense don't they?

Edited my writeups (although I'll still contend that Brogdon is at least an above average defender and will be the better defender between him in Maxey).

Until they realize that they are getting torched with Dame and Beasley not stopping anyone on defense.

It's easier to shoot a bunch if you aren't playing defense.
 
Team Trader Jake
5.04 MEM PG Ja Morant $34.0 mil

A controversial player of late, but he's a hooper I believe in. With the ball in his hands very few defenders can keep him out of the lane. That ability is crucial to drive efficient offense for his team, especially at the end of the shot clock and down the stretch of big games. Last season he also showed a willingness to play defense that wasn't there when he entered the league.

In real life I hope he gets everything straightened out off the court because on the court the guy is mesmerizing.
 
KD saw Fox get hurt last night, flew to Houston, and this time it was his turn to do some recruiting in the stadium parking lot. Yo Mama selects:

5.05 - Draymond Green - PF/C, GSW
$22,321,429


I’ve got tons of scoring, so getting Green’s all-around game is a great fit for my team. Plus, this helps ensure my players’ nuts don’t get kicked.

I had trouble valuing him. He’s obviously a total steal talent wise but that’s a big salary number for someone missing 1/3 of the season for suspension and who knows how much more time for injuries/additional suspensions.
 
I like my team, but it has one obvious hole that needs to be filled. I need a dynamic swing that can score consistently. Bonus that he's a good defender as well. I'd prefer a little more three point shooting at this position, but hey, we're in the fifth, and I'm just happy a guy like this is here for the taking.

This is the guy I was hoping to get.

Jalen JohnsonATL$2,925,360

@Instinctive
I love this pick and he was on my very short list after I picked. Seems like an athletic high energy defender who should be the starting PF for the Hawks the rest of the year. Unfortunately, they moved him into the starting role last night and he looked awesome so I figured he wasn't coming back around.
