- Off ball Wings: We have Wright, THJ and Brunson and none of them are top 30. Here are some good available names: Schroder (OKC), Richardson (PHI), Holiday (UFA), Hart (NOP) and Powell (TOR).
- Versatile Bigs: We currently have K, Kleber and Powell in the top 30 in this category. Here are some good available names: Gay (SAS), Young (CHI), Boucher (RFA), Ibaka (UFA), Nance jr. (CLE), Plumlee (UFA).
- On ball Stoppers: We only have DFS (28th) in this category. Here are some good available ones: Jones Jr. (UFA), D. White (SAS), G. Harris (DEN), A. Gordon (ORL), T. Ariza (POR), K. Dunn (RFA).
We definetely need an on ball stopper to help DFS, maybe two. A better off ball wing would help. A versatile big to wait untill DP recovers would be nice as well. Since Wright is our 9th best player and Jackson our 11th, it makes sense to combine those players with picks to try and get better return. We can take 19M in return for those two alone. Does DJJ get the full MLE? Any other names to add to the list of defenders available?
Thanks for the info, could you also provide a link to that article - please.
