Your Random NBA Starting 5
You might have seen this on ESPN. Its spin the wheel and pick a random NBA team and pick your player off it. You cannot spin again until you have made your pick.
Your team plays this year only and there is no point picking players for the future.
Honor system applies. One spin each time only. Can't pick from same team twice though, so spin again if it happens. After the couple pages or so entries maybe we can pick the top 5.
Spin link. List the Spin number with your pick.

1. Cavaliers - Donovan Mitchell, SG
Ugh. I want to pick Mobley but he isn't ready. I want to pick Allen but not sure there isn't a better C. Take my chances and take Donovan Mitchelll and start picking from a packed position.
2. GSW - Steph Curry. PG
Do you pick Green and nail down the difficult centre position? Nah, take the best player. Curry.
3. Clippers -Paul George, SF- Edit; Nope PF
Gross. I'll take George and lock down wing defense and scoring. I'm getting concerned about bigs.
4. Pacers - Haliburton - Better learn to play SF
Ok that's just about the worst case for bigs. PG13 just moved to PF and I need a SF. Haliburton.
5. Raptors - OG Annunoby, C.
Lol... this is why this is interesting. It's all effed up now. I have no real big and can't rebound or defend yet. OG is playing centre.
This team is way too small and isn't winning from lack of defense and rebounding. Maybe you can do better.

Yeah listing the spin numbers is pretty essential here to make sense of it.

Re: Your Random NBA Starting 5
Spin 5. Fox
Spin 1. Demar
Spin 2. Zion
Spin 3. Giannis
Spin 4. Embiid
Little big heavy with very little 3 point shooting. But I'm grabbing every rebound. Would have taken Ingram over Zion had I known the next two picks

You can spin again if you get the same team.
You can click the Eliminate button after each spin to not have that problem.
Anyway, I have a trash team that might actually be sneaky good this year.
Spin 1 - Utah - Markkanen PF
Spin 2 - NYK - Brunson PG
Spin 3 - Charlotte - Terry Rozier SG
Spin 4 - Cleveland - Allen C
Spin 5 - San Antonio - Keldon Johnson SF
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Re: Your Random NBA Starting 5
PG - spin 2 - Lamelo Ball
SG - spin 5 - TRoss?
SF - spin 1 - Keldon Johnson
PF - spin 3 - Pascal
C - spin 4 - Jokic
Not bad. Maybe I run Suggs instead of Ross?

I'd just go Banchero and move everyone down a slot. Pascal can play and guard as the 3.
Or go Wagner, he'd slot in well there off ball.

I didn't even think about doing that with Banchero. That would be a sick lineup.

Re: Your Random NBA Starting 5
1. Memphis -- Ja Morant
2. Utah -- Lauri Markannen
3. Bucks - Giannis Antetoukoumpo
4. Orlando -- ... Pablo Banchero
5. Timberwolves -- Anthony Edwards
man the 5th pick was hard a lot of directions to go, rudy and giannis cancel each other offensively, lauri and ja can space for pablo and giannis offensive hubs, ja can handle ball duties, i feel like KAT is bad on D but can space, but anthony edwards plays the natural swingman role a bit better than the need for KAT as an offensive hub and Rudy as a defensive hub who can get played off the floor better
