With Giddey turning into a 20 PPG triple double threat and Max Christie breaking out into high level 3 and D guard, I really like the outlook of my starting 5 and I think we can compete with anybody.

Giddey
Christie
Tatum
Franz
Bam

4 20 PPG scorers while everyone plays great defense (only Giddey is our weak defender). Hopefully the SIM respects my team.

Yeah I gave up majority of my depth in the trade for Franz lol but I still have guys like Simons, Clarkson, Isaiah Joe and SIM cheat code Bagley. We'll be alright I think.. hopefully :lol:

The Timberwolves missed out on a couple of our key FA targets and had to pivot for upside swings. Very excited with how Jaylon Tyson has started off the year. Good defender, 2 way upside, and really seems to be taken a year 2 leap

I thought I was going to be able to get him for a sneaky $1/4 year contract but no... :roll:

Stealing this from Reddit:
Drives are highly correlated to star potential. In fact the only 6 rookies in the past 10 years who had more drives per game than the current 12.8 of Fears as a rookie were Cade Cunningham, Ja Morant, Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Ben Simmons, and Donovan Mitchell, all of whom became All Stars.

This is super cool to see a young player prioritizing that part of the game. Sometimes getting it right between the ears is all the difference. I can’t even imagine how many people didn’t pan out due to that.
