ATL SG Bogdan Bogdanović $18.7 mil
Vet that knew how to play from day 1 in the NBA after playing overseas when he was younger. Solid ~40% 3pt shooting wing that often serves as a secondary creator while defending 1-3.
Love his game, especially with other good players that move the ball. Thought he would have been a great fit with my Bangos the past few seasons (the trade that got away) and would love to see him play someday with a player like Joker, Giannis, Luka, etc.
For this squad he'll come off the bench 1-3 and run the 2nd unit at times when Ja Morant rests.

Correct (we are building "real life" teams here, right?).
I do think a lot of people are now seeing how important Ja Morant is to the success of the Grizzlies. I just hope Memphis strings together enough wins during his suspension to keep the playoffs as a realistic proposition. So far, it's not been great.

Me and Jr BOTH wanted the Murder Kornet fwiw.

So I did the math and Dunfee literally cannot afford my guy. He hasn't checked in since Friday, so I'm just letting everyone know that I'm taking Caris Levert when it's my turn. If he picks and Chem X actually makes the turn, PM me and I'll get an email.

I don't expect much will change when he does return. They just lost too much talented glue from last season imo.

You could be correct. I do trust Taylor Jenkins, but they are really struggling to find their rotation right now. Been waiting for the team to push some chips in to land another wing for years, but with their start it may not be this season.

Sorry for the delay, took a while to catch up.
12.18 - Nickeil Alexander-Walker, MIN, SF, $4,687,500
Interesting wing with a little bit of ball-handling and passing.
And it looks like Jayrod is taking Caris LeVert at 12.19.
So that puts @Chemical X on the clock.

I don't think Stevie A or B Clarke can come back this year. Dillon B is a pia, but he will be missed of course. Tyus also moved on in trade, but Smart should be able to cover those loses. The frontcourt will be the issue in the playoffs...if they actually get in. Maybe there is a deal to be made somewhere. I dunno.

No problem if you change it.

And an absolutely great perimeter defender. He's been toward the top of my list for a couple rounds

I took the comment off, it was unnecessary. And I certainly understand being on the phone while picking. Just hit me odd as I read it. Please ignore 
He’s making the minimum this year and I might have taken him early if he was making that much in this exercise.

Ditto.

He gets knocked as a goofy player, but is really quite good. Great shot blocker, good rebounder, high % shot taker.

Although was weirdly none of those things in Dallas all year despite it being exactly what was needed...

Kidd. Any questions?
As I mentioned in the NBA thread, he brings equal measure of basketball stupidity and highlight level playmaking, often in the same trip up the court.

No, they don’t count as “regular” nba contracts and don’t count towards the salary cap so we exclude them until the players are converted to full contracts.

Yeah i wanted to draft Matt Ryan like 8 rounds ago lol

The Lakers had home court in their play in game last season thanks to one of Ryan’s few baskets for the team - a crazy game winner early in the season.

Back breaking INTs and garbage time passing yards are weighted heavily in this league.

Caris LeVert SG/SF, CLE $15,384,616
Getting a lot of minutes and is a playmaker off the bench for the Cavs. Not great at anything, but good at a lot of things. Fills up the stat sheet a bit for fantasy, but will be bench depth for me.

13.3 - Jaime Jaquez Jr., MIA, SF, $3,510,540
A rookie in the Miami development machine, he can provide some all-around game without any true elite skills.

He was on my team last year and was meh, so I just looked past him.

HOU SF Cam Whitmore $3.2 mil
Talent grab on a deep bench spot here. Last year went with OKC wing Jaylin Williams as my shot, hoping for good results again.
FIBA under 18 MVP, won Big East freshman of the year at Villanova, and for some reason fell to #20 in the NBA draft. ?? The Rockets rookie then won Summer League MVP. Houston isn't going anywhere again, we'll see how long it takes them to figure out Whitmore should be on the court.

I looked at him...he's listed at #2 on the official depth chart but has only played 11 total minutes in 2 of their 5 games. Not sure why Houston isn't getting him out there more.
Portland is playing their 2nd round pick Toumani Camara 24.6 mpg because they are committed to their youth movement and I think Houston should be doing the same with Whitmore.
I like him as a player. I'm just not sure he'll ever be healthy for long enough to contribute.
