The Athletic has an interesting hypothetical up, running an expansion draft for playoff teams from those eliminated. Injured players (Hayward, Williamson etc.) not eligible.
Their list:
Wiz - Towns
C's - Lavine
GSW/Grizz - Ingram
Heat - Fox
Hawks - Lamelo
Knicks -Lowry
Lakers - Siakam
Portland -Grant
Mavs - Vucevic
Bucks - FVV
Clips - Derozan
Nuggets - Rozier
Nets -Barnes
Sixers - Russell
Suns - Wood
Jazz - Sexton
Another ball dominant scorer is not what I'd think the C's need. A 4 who can defend and shoot would be top of my list, Wood, Grant, Siakam I think in that order. What would you do?
