Donte Thomas - putting up really good numbers on a stacked offensive team.

Naz Reid - Dude went unclaimed for days. Thriving for the Spurs as a nonoption. Couldn’t ask for a better free waiver player.

EJ Liddell - Going to add my guy here. Showed as a starter what he could do this past sim. Flew under the radar during FA and was able to get him at a really good contract.

Jalen Green - probably a top 10ish player offensively right now. He's a star.

Jerrick Harding - actual top 10 player, Brooks been shopping him and no one is even interested. I don't get that at all

Donovan Mitchell - also a legit star. He went super cheap. I was trying to get him but Hail2Pitt is too cordial and respected that Scott got into his PMs first. Donnie is absolutely nasty.

Onyeka Okongwu - notail never hypes his guys, but Onyeka is sneaky a dope big. Good scorer, good percentages, low TOs, blocks shots. He went OFF in pre with KAT on the bench

Victor Oladipo - He’s old, but still a good scorer and an even better defender. His TOs are his only real weakness

Mark Williams - he’s the only explanation I can think of for the Sonics being a borderline playoff team. Good scorer and post defender

Jalen Green - turned into a really nice PG. He’s gunna be extremely valuable in the new future with the lack of PGs in the 20-26 age range.

Naz Reid - he’s legit lol. He produces well for his contract and would excel in a bench role as well.

Markelle Fultz - he’s turned into a damn good player on a budget 2-year deal. However he’s already 29 so he’s practically retired.

Terry Taylor - legitimate star wing now and top 10 scorer who does not TO at all. To score 27+ PPG and have 1 TO is pretty immaculate, and then he's also a + rebounder, who can play the 4, 3 or 2, giving him positional versatility as well. Helps that he's on a great contract too.

Matthew Stratzel - does a little bit of everything, rebounds well for a guard, chips in with assists, shoots the lights out of the ball. Putting up 16 / 5.5 / 5.5 with 1 TOPG on great splits off ball is really valuable, and like Taylor, he's also on a great contract.

Kevon Looney - stud 2-way big and an elite rebounder as well, it's insane how well he's developed as the 28th pick in the draft with below average potential, and yet another example of where the Magic got absolutely screwed by him walking in FA, but yeah he's a star and nobody talks about him but he can block, board and score and he doesn't TO either he's just an anchor in the paint

ECN All he does is score and rebound with the best SF in the league yr in and yr out

T Taylor- we needed to make a decision on ECN a yr earlier and that resulted in us losing Taylor, didn't think anyone would have noticed his last 2 pre season estellar performances and we could sneak him in.. But Cloud showed why he is The GOAT and stole this gem from so call Gms.

Jalen Green - feels legit elite Scorer yet name doesn't come up a lot

Payton Pritchard -- He's been on a star level for a while but still think he's undervalued. His efficiency and handling just checks a lot of boxes. He's needed another piece or two around him to really make a championship push in his career, but think he can be that guy.

Mark Williams -- Sonics being able to get this guy to build around was a nice start to the rebuild. His rebounding needs to come along but his defense and efficiency in the paint is strong. Definitely an up and comer that is rarely discussed.

Robert Williams -- Rob is often overlooked due to the other players in Cleveland but he's been doing his job every year since being drafted. He's steady and can be relied on to carry the team at times. Being buried down the list of options in Cleveland has kept his name relatively quiet, but he could definitely be an option somewhere and be a 20-10 big man with strong defense and efficient scoring.

Kevin Looney - nice double double big who can score efficiently. also an elite rebounder who blocks 2.2bpg

Marvin Bagley Jr - Nate got critizied for trading assets for Bagley. look at him now averaging double double with 1.8 bpg. not the most efficient scorer, but with his TO not being too high still a very valuable trade piece for a league lacking bigs

Terry Taylor - great scoring wing who can rebound with low TO with good volume. only downside would be defense being at C+ but the positive he brings is far greater than the potential defensive hole he can be for superstar SFs. his contract makes him even more valuable

Mark Williams - He has preformed beyond expectations since being acquired in a trade with the Jazz , Reboundings ratings arent good at C+ , But that being said , he has had quite a few double doubles , and even an astonishing triple double with 10 assists and zero Turnovers.

Donovan Mitchell - Hated to deal this Gem...very underrated . can score and find the open man with ease , hated to deal him..but needed to start the rebuild , only complaint was he TO..but definitely has performed well as a #2 in Utah

Naz Reid - Maybe the best of all of the Gems..just because he has Out performed his ratings ten fold..plucking the guy off of the waiver wire and getting substantial minutes and stats...great get!

Donte Thomas - He’s gotten better every year becoming a legit non option. Can hold his own defensively and on the glass.

Naz Reid - Really fills out the stat sheet and plays above his rebounding grade. Very good offensively and defensively, on a declining contract.

Jalen Green - this guy is a bucket. Once he gets his defense up he will be elite.

Marcus Smart- Lowkey a great all around player, who is a star at SG.

Kevon Looney- All of a sudden is a legit shot blocker to go along with his good scoring. He's turned into legit one of the better bigs in the league.

Josh Hart- Was really surprised to see him cut back this year. I see him as a stud do it all wing

I like the Kevon Looney look. He’s a guy I tried to grab a couple times the last few years, really solid big.

Koch Bar (the fuck) rebounds are fake, blocks all that matter. Baller.

Jarrett Allen become a real solid player in Utah, happy for him.

Harding. Gets talked AB a lot in trades and just in general, but he's better than he gets credit for.

Donte Thomas. A Pistons legend! I'm surprised he's been this good for this long so we love to see our former players thriving!

Paolo! Speaking of former Pistons legends!! He seems to have cleared up his TO issues and is a legit nightly double double big man.

Kispert- He’s not a superstar but man can score he’s really solid. Outside offense he can score 20 a game
Josh hart- I will probably max him lol he’s a really good 2 way player.
Cam Johnson- Brooks hypes him up but not as much as j would. Dudes one of if not the best scorer not really seen as good as he is imo
