V Patrick Williams

Are people just not voting P Will because the 90 mill isn't quite as high as the others / he was drafted 4th? I get that youth is a thing and that historical won't equal future though.

I'm looking into 3.5 year RAPM, LEBRON, and EPM and this guy is one of the lowest in the league. For example, Quickley is 66th in 3.5Y RAPM (crazy high) and P Will is 713th. Poole is 551st. Jerami Grant 663. RJ Barrett 707. So lots of guys low I suppose. I do think we got IQ wrong, he seems to be solid enough

He's next on my list for what it's worth. But the reason I haven't ranked him higher is because his salary is so low relative to the other players on this list that the amount he'd have to improve to be "worth" his deal (or at least not significantly overpaid) is a lot less than some of the other guys here.

Looks like Poole will take this while KCP and Nnaji are close in nomination.

Ayton not in the top 10 of even this list.

I'm not an Ayton fan by any stretch, and I think he's massively overpaid at $35M a year, but it's hard for me to justify voting for a one-year deal as one of the 10 worst contracts in the NBA unless it's truly beyond the pale (like the last year of Russ's max when he was playing like a vet min guy).

ACL tear recovery is typically 8-12 months, so there's a chance he'll be back on the court around Christmas next year. Not really enough info yet to say for sure that he's going to miss all of next year.

I know it’s popular to say, but the Kings finally don’t have a bad contract

Lavine just a solid player (health permitting) and DeRozan has been putting up 24/5/5 on very good efficiency lately, and is a marvel at his age actually with the year after next not being guaranteed. Demar is at least cooking and clutch off someone bench

But keep the votes coming


Lauri at this point is not a good contract and long.

Probably worth nominating.
