You have to give Grayson credit. He made sure to stick around in the league.


You like Thanos in collecting white dudes who can play.

You had Rivers early to.

This guy is just an interesting player. Was intrigued by his three point shot and defensive playmaking in college and I think he's in the perfect spot for his development right now. He's going to get opportunities to expand his game.

Really liking what I've seen from my guys IRL. I'll be interesting to see how it translates to the sim.

Starters
Davion Mitchell – 10th in asts/game, hounding everyone on defense and super efficient on offense. Perfect guy to facilitate the Celtics’ selfless and up-tempo starting 5.
Jimmy Butler – 36 years old and still has not lost a step. 5th in win shares per 48.
Deni Avdija – Clearly made the jump to all-star level – 26.1/6.3/4.3 with 49/38/85 splits. STUD.
Scottie Barnes – He's leveled up; career highs in pts, steals, and blocks, and he’s actually hitting 3s(!!!).
RWIII – He’s playing! Career-average per-minute numbers, which is exactly what I need from him. Hopefully will work back to 20+ mpg as the season goes on.

Bench
Tre Jones – Incredible start – 13.3/4.0/5.5, 50/35/85, 4th in steals/game. Definitely seems worth what I paid for him.
Kevin Huerter – Red Velvet has his groove back – 14.6/3.9/3.0, 51 fg%, getting to the line.
Pelle Larsson – Love this kid. Tough, efficient, makes smart plays. Been in the starting lineup since game 4 and will be a solid rotational piece for a long time.
Collin Gillespie – 9.5/3.8/4.9, tough defender, nails 3s. Awesome luxury to have him sitting on my bench.
Maxime Raynaud, Noah Penda, Jase Richardson – All are stuck behind vets but have looked good in limited minutes. I’m confident they will each get opportunities to see the floor this year and make cases for much bigger roles in year 2.
Adiu Thiero – Might make his NBA debut tonight, and I’m excited to see what he can do. (Seems like Lakers fans are too.)
Tristan Vukcevic - Similar to the rookies. Put him in, coach!
(And then there’s Jarace Walker – Uhhh…looked good at first, but I'm not sure anyone in the NBA has had a more concerning last 2 weeks; I just hope it has not affected his sim ratings too much…)

Love the write up! You have been a great addition to BAF (thanks Cap) Most of your players will be reflected from there previous year stats. Its too early to typically overwrite a small 10 game sample size over 82 games of last year. It goes both way too...a really good player I wouldn't want the SIM to negatively impact if they had a 5-6 bad game stretch to start the year when they have a long history of being good either. I think sometimes they might tweak a couple really important no brainer breakouts.

Deni has been playing great you might not get the full jump right now but he had a really good season last year and he seems like a great building block. Good gamble on your end and on a really nice contract for how he impacts the game.
