With an extremely talented core of passers and a team that will excel in transition- give me a shooter- in fact, one that’s turning into a priority player for the Nets- give me

Joe Harris.

This guy is one of the best stretch 4s & overall shooters in the league. He’s 6-10 & has shot at least 42% from 3 the last two seasons & broke out this past season averaging 15, 5 & 2. He can also play the 3 & at 27 he’s just about to enter his prime. I’ll take Davis Bertans. @jrpross OTC

Aright, I have a backup pg and a backup wing. Now I need a backup big. He’s 31 but he’s got plenty of steam left. 3x all defensive team and he’s learned to hit 3’s.

I’ll take Serge Ibaka. @UKNorse you may proceed.

Always liked his versatility.

Unlikely to get the MIP at 25 this late in the draft. Do you all not turn into Hornets games?

Devonte' Graham 18-3-7 statline with almost 40% 3 point shooting.

Was actually my next pick lol but... ill end up going with someone who IMO has value this late even tho I may only get 2-3 more high quality years from him before his decline starts. At the age of 35 he led the league in clutch baskets (5 points or less game under 5 min to go), he still has a PER that comfortably sits above 20 and is top 5 at his position, had one of his greatest shooting seasons percentage wise of his career this season from FG% and eFG%, has an elite IQ and competitiveness and is still one of the better defensive points in the league. Give me old man Chris Paul

To add some beef in the middle, let me grab a 7 foot, 270 pound center who averaged 15/12/2/1 this past season in just 26 minutes per game.

He's another of the league's most efficient guys, shooting nearly 60% from the floor and 35% from 3. He's top 20 in PER and win shares, top 35 in box plus/minus, and top 40 in VORP.

In the simpler stats, there's still something to be said for being a top 6 guy in offense, defensive and total rebounds who shoots 60/35/75 as a 7-footer. He's one of the few guys left who can get a bucket on the block, but he's also expanding his game from the high post and 3 point line, doubling his % of attempts from 3 from last year to this year.

Give me Lithuanian Lightning, Jonas Valanciunas.

A bit surprising that he lasted this long. I had considered him for the last couple of rounds.

This guy should already be gone.

He showed this year that he's at his best alongside another great PG, that he can come off the bench to give you a spark, play off the ball next to a primary facilitator, or take the ball in his hands to give your star a break.

In that role, he posted 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists while hitting 38% from 3 (two makes per game).

He's one of the quickest guys in the league and at barely 27, will be effective for the remainder of this exercise.

Give me Dennis Schroder.

I know at some point when paul starts to decline ill need another guy who can run some point. Not a bad option off the bench now as is for either guard position. Was also one of the best crunch time players where his FG% jumped 12% during the final 5 minutes of the game when the game was within 5 points. This year he was a 40% shooter from 3 while averaging 18 ppg and at 26 will still be a solid player through the dynasty. Ill take Terry Rozier.

This guy is a very solid scorer & passer & is just entering his prime at 28. He averaged 19/3/3 with a slash of 47/40/82 this season & can play the 2 & 3 at 6-7. I’ll take Evan Fournier. @Cowtown Cat OTC

I need a Kentucky boy, and there’s a Rookie left that came on extremely strong At the end of last year, showing his true potential. He shot 59% from three, albeit on only 19 attempts but still impressive, and averaged 18 pts and 7reb per 36, closing the year with two straight 20 plus games and some highlight dunks. Give me a wing that would thrive playing under Lebron, Keldon Johnson. @LukaszObrzut is up
