Evan, why does Donnieâs team suck?
While Donnie and I share a few players on our team, I criticize putting almost $70 million into Tyrese Maxey and Bam Adebayo. Those are two top players on teams that are well under .500. Donnie literally is picking players that currently suck!

Why did you pick your starting five?
With the way the rules were set up, it essentially eliminated every elite offensive player. Because of that, I found it essential to begin my team with the best offensive player available for selection, Tyrese Maxey. As a potential defensive liability, it was essential to pair him in the backcourt with a player who could defend the opposing team’s best players, and luckily, not only was Derrick White available for selection, he has one of the most valuable contracts in the NBA. Trey Murphy III was the other staple of this team, as the No. 2 offensive option in my starting lineup while boasting the cheapest salary of any of my top 10 rotation players. To round out my starting lineup, I wanted a deadeye shooter, and a great defensive big. In Cam Johnson and Isaiah Hartenstein, I accomplished exactly that. My starting lineup is full of an abundance of shooting and with Maxey spearheading the offensive and Hartenstein doing the same for the defense, my starting five is well-rounded, able to score on all types of defensive coverages while at minimum being a borderline top-10 defense.
