2023-2024 NBA Salary Cap Draft - SECOND Annual Battle for the Wikkid Cup - Preseason Rankings are In! (4 Viewers)

[thecatch]

8.8 - I'll spend a little money here on DeAndre Hunter. He's a solid all-around wing who is a little underwhelming as a starter, but as my 7th/8th man at a backup wing spot, he's overqualified.

[PIK95]

@Corporation your up.

 

[Frostillicus]

@Corporation @Incogneto @Corn Rocket @Coach Morris Buttermaker @Carolinavic @CarolinaKittyCats

 

[Corporation]

Catching up and will pick shortly

 

[Corporation]

I'm guard and big heavy, so I'll take a player I like that is more of a wing player and has a pretty nice salary to boot.

Deni Avdija SF/PF WAS

I'm at work and can't update the google sheet if someone doesn't mind doing that.

@nysfl2 you are up

 

[Desert_Power]

@Corporation @Incogneto @Corn Rocket @Coach Morris Buttermaker @Carolinavic @CarolinaKittyCats

@CarolinaKittyCats is a great name.

Nice defender and glue type - if he can figure out his shot, he's pretty darn valuable.

 

[Yo Mama]

Guess I didn’t have as much to catch up to today as I thought. I was worried I was holding things up since my meeting/conference today is a lot more involved than I thought and I can’t multitask. Maybe I’ll do some drunk picks later while out drinking with the sales guys who can still expense alcohol.

 

[nysfl2]

Amen Thompson, Rockets

[Frostillicus]

Drew Eubanks, a perfectly cromulent back up center for under $2.5m

 

[the moops]

Can be said about 50 guys, if not more, in this league

 

[Jayrod]

I have not drafted a player all day and there are still 9 picks before me.

We've only done like 17 picks today.

You guys are garbage. Having to put up with you is like having to put up with garbage.

 

[the moops]

You guys are garbage. Having to put up with you is like having to put up with garbage.

I've made two picks today. Suck on that garbage boy

This draft is the highlight of my dadgum day and all I've done is mark off 17 names.

I said DON'T STEAL MY GUYS!!!

Sure. I'll be around.

 

[scoobus]

8.12 Tari Eason, $3,527,160

Injured right now, but had a great rookie season and a guy I think will be a really good player in the league. Good defense, good rebounding, some upside with his 3pt shot.

 

[scoobus]

@Instinctive

 

[Instinctive]

8.13 Jaylin Williams, C OKC $2M

Taking a guy who could pop this year, is big, and is cheap. End of the bench. Maybe cracks rotation. Last year I did this and it was Walker Kessler.

I thought I could snag him later what with the injury and all. Should have known better.

 

[FatMax]

@Jayrod ... do you have @PIK95 's pick here?

 

[PIK95]

@Jayrod ... do you have @PIK95 's pick here?

Yeah, Yayrod has my pick.

 

[scoobus]

Whose up anyway?

@scoobus

I'm gonna go cook. Take a name for me?

Sure. I'll be around.

Oh really?

 

[FatMax]

If PIK gets his in the next five minutes, I'll follow immediately. If not, I headed home and will pick in about 30 minutes.

 

[Jayrod]

@PIK95 takes Aaron Nesmith

Aaron Nesmith

IND

$5,634,257

 

[FatMax]

@PIK95 takes Aaron Nesmith

On my short list. Once sec ...

 

[PIK95]

I was really disappointed when the Celts traded Neismith. Great shooter, energy, and dives all over after loose balls. First the Celtics traded Neismith and I did not speak out....

Because it wasn't Marcus Smart.

 

[FatMax]

Need a good wing defender to come in off of the bench. Plus his scoring has improved and he has always been a good rebounder.

Isaac Okoro, Swing, Clev. $8,920,794​

For some reason I thought he went earlier. I always confuse the O named guys.

Okogie w/ PHX probably

Just bought the NBA pass for $100 on prime. I couldn't wait...

And don't forget Chuma Okeke on ORL.

This is hard to do without my main cheat sheet file.

8.16 - Jonas Valanciunas - C, NOR
$15,435,000

Time to go big. Everyone shifts in the lineup and I still have enough shooting to make it work.

8.17 BOS SF Sam Hauser $1.9 mil

Good bench wing for cheap. Hit 42% from deep last season with a positive bpm on both offense and defense.

Hauser uses anticipation and his length on defense, can move off the ball on offense, and unlike some good bench players he knows his role.

My daughter went to Marquette so I followed the Hauser brothers' careers since they were freshmen. I never would have expected Sam to have an NBA career although he could always shoot the lights out.

I hear ya. Live in the Milwaukee area myself.

Outside of the all-star level players and a handful of elite athletes the difference between an NBA rotation and playing overseas isn't as big as many seem to believe. If I'm an NBA GM I'd lean toward the guy with the higher work ethic and an ability to mix in with his teammates.

Helps when they make ~$2 mil as well.

He's not worried about money ... he's worried about Son of Yo Mama. We don't need Grandson of Yo Mama in one of these deciding which of LeBron's kids to take in the 10th round.

He hasn't checked in for 5 hours. I messaged him, but we may be stuck for a bit.
