Current injuries and injury history are to be taken into account when voting.


Joker, Smoker, Mile High Toker

PG: Eric Bledsoe | Dejounte Murray
SG: Donovan Mitchell | Devin Booker
SF: Luka Doncic | Terrence Ross
PF: Kevin Love | Kyle Kuzma | Jerami Grant
C: Nikola Jokic | Montrezl Harrell | Bam Adabeyo

When constructing my team, my main objective was too build a very versatile team that would flow regardless of who was on the floor. My team may struggle at times on the defensive end, but the offensive firepower should more than make up for it - even against the stronger defensive teams. An extremely deadly pick & roll game led by Doncic/Jokic would be borderline impossible to defend, given their high IQ’s and great feel for the game no matter where they are on the court. When opposing teams try to collapse, there will be some of the best scorers in the game licking their chops for spot up jumpers in Mitchell, Booker, Love etc.

Defensively, we are led by 3 very strong on ball defenders in Eric Bledsoe, DeJounte Murray (MIP Candidate this year - book it) and Jerami Grant.

My starting lineup would be Bledsoe, Mitchell, Doncic, Love and Jokic with arguably the best 6th man in this tournament in Booker coming off the bench for instant buckets. Kuz & Harrell would be great bench pieces to use and create mismatches against teams that lack the bench depth I feel I have created.

This team has untapped potential which is something I took into consideration given the 3 year window of this draft. We’ve only seen the surface of what guys like Jokic, Doncic, Booker, Mitchell, Harrell and Kuz can do. I see plenty of room for growth on both sides of the ball for this team and perennial MVP candidates for years to come.



Team 5

PG: Kyrie Irving | Dennis Schroder
SG: Bradley Beal | Marcus Smart | Eric Gordon
SF: Bojan Bogdanovic | OG Anunoby
PF: Giannis Antetokounmpo | Domantas Sabonis | Marcus Morris
C: Myles Turner | Marvin Bagley III

I just don’t know if Joker has anyone who can stop Giannis. They have a great team but this isn’t the most favorable matchup for them.

Joker team is easily the worst defensively by a million miles, they have nobody who can stop anyone especially on the wing lmao

Giannis will obliterate this team.

Montrezl Harrell can definitely match up with Giannis athletically & is start him over Love. The dude is a beast. Breaking news today all you Giannis fans, he may be a beast but he didn’t even make the finals with his team and has a very beatable team. Number one regular season record with shooters all around and still couldn’t even make it to the ball. Relax.

Too much depends on Zion & what he turns out to be on that match up, I’m staying away from that one.
