We will have about $19 mil under the lux to fill those 4-6 spots. The $19 mil decreases if
a. Towns makes All NBA ($5.5 less), though that is unlikely.
b. We move up in the lottery and get a top 4 pick.
The only all NBA center that's a sure thing IMO should be Jokic. Davis missed a lot of games and Embiid missed quite a few also. If one or both are eliminated for lack of participation I think KAT should be the next man up with some consideration to Gobert. Am I forgetting anybody?
I agree with Killboard, that Vucevic deserves mention, but I suspect Jokic and Embid get the top two spots, then Gobert. Gobert may be defensive player of the year, and all three of these guys are on playoff teams.
Vuc did have a great season and so did Gobert, but if I were a voter I would either favor KAT over both of them or consider it a tie. If I thought it was a tie I wouldn't want to be the vote that costs KAT $32 million or whatever it is and I would vote for KAT. The voter also gets the extra incentive of voting for KAT knowing it will screw the Wolves.
