PLAYER HIGHLIGHTS

Kid is a professional scorer. The league’s next prototypical long silky smooth athletic wing. That 6’5”/6’6” SG mold we’ve seen time-and-time again, and have grown accustomed to.

Read on Twitter


Amen continues to develop as a jumbo-sized point guard after spending his first two seasons as more of a wing and combo forward. He continues to do it all.

Read on Twitter


$1 open roster hold (a minor deal snag oversight) prevented the Raptors from acquiring Ja Morant to run point. Ja, Sharpe, and Amen with all that athleticism surrounding Wemby would’ve been a sight to behold. But with the constraints of the recently signed free agents unable to be moved until 1/15, the deal couldn’t be revived at this time in a pivot. But at the end of the day, sometimes the best deal is the one you don’t make. The defense of Dort, Smart, Nembhard, and Wallace is just as valuable with how my team is constructed.

Asking for all writeups/rankings to be completed and submitted by tomorrow. As of now, only seven teams have submitted rankings/survey answers. Deadline to get these in is tomorrow.

I downloaded the new sim season last night. Should be able to get into it tonight or tomorrow and maybe able to drop a few initial ratings in the next 24 hours or so. Looking for the new season to begin by the middle/end of next week.
