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

[thecatch]

The last five @Instinctive picks total $10.5M - if you multiply that salary times the number of three pointers Ben Simmons has made this decade, you still have less salary than Ben Simmons makes.

Seems like an over complicated dig but I like where your head is at.

 

[PIK95]

@Yo Mama I have my son's pick, your son is up.

I tried.

 

[Yo Mama]

Son of Yo Mama selects:

11.18 - Keita Bates-Diop - Starting SF, Suns
$2,346,614

Did I mention he started today? Promising young all-around wing for cheap.

 

[Yo Mama]

@Yo Mama I have my son's pick, your son is up.

You’re up

 

[PIK95]

I'm driving on highway, he wants Davion Mitchell. Thx

The average age of an NBA player in 2023-24 was 26.03 years old on opening night. Bates-Diop was 27.75 years old - which happened to be exactly the average age of the Suns roster on opening night (4th oldest team in the league).

We’ll, he’s still promising.

Kinda like how Terrance Mann is treated as this young asset but he’s something like 27 already.

Cautiously optimistic that his shot will come around this year (which would make him a valuable rotation guard).

 

[caustic]

11.20 Keldon Johnson ($20,000,000) - Last year was a rough one for Keldon. Vassell's injury placed a huge offensive burden on him, killing his efficiency and defensive effort. The Spurs losing 60 games probably didn't help either. Now he's back to playing a proper role on a real team. His incredible 3P efficiency in 21-22 may have been a fluke, but he's still a great slasher and finisher, which fits perfectly on my team. Jokic will hit him in stride as he barrels to the rim over and over.

12.01 Gabe Vincent ($10,500,000) - Reasonable price for a playoff-tested 3&D rotation guard.

Son of @PIK95 is back up!

Yeah, keldon is a good player if you have the cap space for him

 

[PIK95]

He's at the gym. Just waiting to hear back.

These things are never won by adding decent 8th/9th players. They are won by stars and a couple guys making huge leaps.

I know. I just like the picks. I really like Keldon. He is super underrated in my opinion.

My bad. Carry on with the knocking.

Pik jr wants this guy...Jordan Goodwin at $1.9

On my short list - off to a slow start but he'll have some opportunity.

 

[Instinctive]

I really like the Keldon Johnson pick. I was thhiiiiiiiiiis close to grabbing him when Burks/Paul went and going with him and another guy who i think isn't likely to be drafted, but decided I'm going a much more expensive route with tons of wing depth already and need more shooting/scoring punch to round out this squad.

 

[Yo Mama]

Son of Yo Mama selects:

12.03 - Jaxson Hayes - C, Lakers
$2,165,000

Crowded frontcourt here, but he’s a cheap rim running rim protecting big.

He's blocked shots and ran towards the rim in his career. Yo Mama also has frontcourt players on his team.

Exactly. And the crowded frontcourt is the Lakers, not my son’s team.

12.04 - Obi Toppin - F - Pacers

$6,803,012

I don't know if I fully believe in the talent but there's more opportunity for Obi in Indy and it's a contract year.

@Kev4029

 

[Kev4029]

12.05 Dyson Daniels G
$5,784,120

He’s already one of the better perimeter defenders in the NBA and he’s huge for a combo guard so he can slide up to forwards (also rebounds like a SF). Offensively, he’s more PG than SG and he has a pretty good handle, passes better than a typical combo guard, and shoots like a center. If he develops this year, he could be a legit rotation player alongside Doncic or Curry, if he stagnates, he’s still an A+ defender that can play a bit situationally and be used as a emergency injury replacement for Curry if he goes out.

Yea I want to like Toppin and fee like he should be good but he just kinda makes me feel meh everytime I see him play. Has some flashes for sure but then just a bunch of nothing.

Pretty similar theory of the pick as Dieng.

 

[Desert_Power]

Will need a little bit. Just getting back from being at a college football game all day

Didn't he go earlier?

Andre Drummond - C $3,360,000

I already picked him.

 

[PIK95]

Give me Andre Drummond. I need a 10-15 mpg backup plan for when all my shooting bigs are getting killed on the glass.

@the moops

 

[Yo Mama]

Yeah looks like Drummond didn’t have the catch’s name next to him on the master salary list, but he was already drafted

 

[nysfl2]

Yeah looks like Drummond didn’t have the catch’s name next to him on the master salary list, but he was already drafted

Not the guy I would have bet on being drafted twice

 

[Eephus]

He's no Isaiah Hartenstein

 

[thecatch]

Not the guy I would have bet on being drafted twice

He’s a two time all star making $3 million what’s not to love
