We are going to draft NBA teams with hypothetical players.
We are going to spin two different combinations of players.
As you see in the first side of the table, you'll get a player with a second player's attribute.
All three randomly spin.
When it's your turn, you will see two different players and you get to pick which one you want.
You get two re-spins for the entire draft.
In six rounds, you can respin any one specific category.
But when you respin that category for that player, you get to pick them.
Okay.
So for instance, you might get Yokic with Blank's defense.
The player you got is terrible, but you do want Yokch a good defense.
So you re-spend the player to try to get Yokch with good defense.
No matter who that new player is, you have to pick that version of Yokic.
Okay, sounds good.
And only two re-spins.
What is the draft order, B.Soles?
Mo, Isaac, and Don.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go, Mo.
Do you feel you to win today?
I don't know.
I'm kind of nervous, honestly.
This is my first time being nervous.
Okay.
Okay.
SGA with Ants playmaking.
Just SGA?
Player two.
Okay.
Luca Donchich with Curry's scoring.
Where's Luca?
You get worse SGA or worse Luca?
Take your pick.
Okay, with Curry's scoring, I'm assuming he has like more consistent range.
Luca, yo, his stupid shooting can look like 33.
from the first few weeks of the season to bounce back to 40%.
I think I want to take SGA because it's more, it's more stable and consistent.
So give me SGA.
Okay.
I'm cool.
Where are you putting this hypothetical player?
Put it on my one.
One.
Okay.
So Shea with Ants playmaking.
Is that just like exactly the same player?
Yeah.
Probably.
The playmaking really isn't that different, right?
Yeah.
It's literally just Shay's is better though.
Yeah.
But, you know, all intensive.
purposes. It's pretty much dis-shae.
A bucket is a bucket.
That's all he is.
My turn.
Isaac, your first player. Here we go.
Steph Castle
with Denny's finishing.
Okay.
Steph Castle.
Exactly.
Or.
Need you to get Isaac Bonga.
Evan Mowbly with Mikhail scoring.
Ooh!
That's filthy!
Hey, that's kind of nasty.
That's filthy.
Wait, filthy?
Yes. If he had the midi and like three-point shooting of Evan Mowley?
Filty.
Offball movement?
We're dragging it right now.
But you're right.
Filthy.
I'm gonna use my re-spins.
He needs to be in the fucking paint more.
What do you mean?
You want to see him shoot more jumpers?
No.
I mean,
if they went in like McKell,
is he Katie now?
No,
Wings are not Katie.
Because I want Mowgli to play like KD.
Give me that version of Mowgli when McHale's scoring.
Listen, bro,
he was shooting 70% in the playoffs.
He was.
I was thinking about respinning that and trying to get Mowgli
with somebody else is scoring.
Yeah.
But I'm going to save my respins in case
it's an actually bad player.
Okay.
But I was thinking about trying to get Mowbly to be like full on KD.
That could have been crazy
So just regular
Just regular SGA or Mowbly
With some middies
With the midi touch
That's a great player
That's AD
Yeah I got AD
Let's go
We'll see
All right Donovan
Here we go
First player
Save me
Steph Castle
With a sores
Angels
Okay
Or
I hate these games
LeBron
With Jared McCain's
Dunking
LeBron that can't duck.
You got 60 LeBron.
And is this problem with Bronon or
2026 LeBron?
26 LeBron.
These are all current players.
All current players. Let's see.
Why don't if he can't dunk it?
LeBron that can't dunk is.
That sucks.
What is useless?
That sucks.
This is awful.
I mean, so I can't.
You got a re-spin.
I can't go Steff Castle.
Oh, you got a re-spin.
You could try to use that.
I might have.
Castle with AsaSars handles.
But no, it's funny.
Either way, Assar's handle and McCain's dunking
sucks. So you don't really want that either way.
Your re spins are kind of useless right now.
You want to get a better version of LeBron or Castle?
Yeah.
What do you get LeBron with like a center's dunking?
Sure.
So if I just have Steff Castle with Asaris handle,
then it just turns into a straight like 3 and D kind of player.
I just turned into like basically Assad.
Yeah.
Or just basically Castle.
You don't change really.
Like their hand, like I guess his hand is a little worse.
Yeah, his handle is better than.
Yeah, it is better.
But I don't know how much.
I will take Steph Castle.
with a SARS handle.
Wow, you just nuke yourself, I think.
Why, I have a Sixth Man.
I would have made a point.
No, we're going to put them at least six men.
You should have re-spun the dunking of McCain
and try to get LeBrona McCain shooting.
Yeah.
That's not where I wanted to go.
I don't know.
I didn't want to use my re-spin on the first one.
Fair.
All right, well, Stefan Castle off your bench
is being Stefan Castle.
That's solid.
That's fair.
Fair.
All right.
Next.
It's me again?
Yep.
Okay
J-dub with Pascal's shooting
Worst J-dub
Or
Darren Peterson
with James Hardens
Dunking
Oh
Worst Darren Peterson
Yo you got
I'm getting
Spritey
There's no good outcomes here
Um
Like if you had James Hardin passing
It's like oh fuck
You can respin dunking
Try I get James Hardin passing
I know I might have to do that
Um
Oh, this is not fun
Everybody else was getting demons
I have to make decisions
So I can respin any one of these
Like can I re-spin like J-dub
I can re-spin
Player 2 attribute all that
Yep
Any one specific square
But then you had to pick that player if you spin it
Can I get a different something different from
Pastile shootings is so useless
It's not worth re-spinning J-Dub for real
You try to get somebody else is shooting
Should I try to
Rudy Gobert.
Respin.
Somebody else is dunking?
I think that's the best.
Somebody else is passing?
Or try to get another hardened attribute?
You can just pick J-Dubb.
Yeah.
And just keep it there?
She's not that different, I guess.
Dude, you're rolling dices all around.
You don't have no...
I have to keep it.
Unless, like, you respin Pascal, you get a good shooter.
Because I would like to...
Ideally, I would respin two of these.
But that would be out.
Reism Pascal, I think that's fair.
Does he give me J-Dub, I guess?
as is as is
yeah
all right jadev
was siakum shooting
there you go
okay
all that debate
just to keep him
where do you want
um
uh at the three
at the three
wow okay
that's why you debate
you gotta see where you stand on it
gotta think it through
yacum shooting
okay
you know the shooting isn't like
entirely different
you can just write jadb
it'll not double up the line
okay I don't know how different
the shooting is between siacum and jadub
jadub is a better shooter
but he says he's better
handle it can get to his shots more.
I don't know if there's shooting abilities all that different.
Pascal's your guy, too.
I mean,
Pascal's never like...
Not consistent, though.
Yeah, I think he...
I mean, Jadov's not...
Yeah.
Jad's not crazy consistent either.
Exactly.
Like, he's probably better, but it's not like it's...
It doesn't nuke Jadab's values, what I'm saying?
Let me see Seaco's three-point percentage.
Yeah.
Okay.
My turn.
All right.
It's very regular.
Isaac, your first player is...
Can you give us some trash?
Palo with Devin Booker's defense.
Upgrade.
upgrade
or
Jason Tatum
with SGA's
handles
Ooh give me
Tatum with SGA's
handles
That is filthy
Fuck
Dude SGA has an
all-time handle
That's crazy
Now Tatam can actually
Slash
Get to the paints
Now he actually
is what people
want to be
That's great
Put on my three
That's crazy
Okay
Now he just is
Grant Hill
Okay
He hasn't passed
Grant Hill
In your mind
I don't know
Graeme is the bar now
Shout to great
If you can slash like Grant
They'd be even better
Tatum and Mobley
I'm cooking
All right Mo
Back to you
I feel good
First player
I got J-Doh
Kevin Durant with Tatum's defense
Ooh
Okay
Fuck
Yo that's the most complete
Kady ever
Dylan Brooks
With Kauai's handles
You gotta pick that one
It's too funny
I have a predicament
Here
Among my hands
What if you respect
Kauai and get Dylan Brooks or Kyrie handles.
Is it worth it? It might be worth it.
Give me KD with Tatum's defense.
That's fucking filthy.
That's insane.
At the three, two.
It don't matter.
Put them at the three for now.
Or not two.
Well,
Tatum.
Everybody's out here getting these demigods.
Get fucked.
I'm having to make choices.
Yo, Dylan Brooks will be here is so diabolical.
I want.
It's like an easy answer.
There's a lot of rounds, though.
We'll see.
All right.
Back to Mo.
He's got Katie with Tatum's defense.
I know he did.
Austin Reeves with Scotty Barnes finishing.
That's strong.
Or that's strong as fuck.
SGA with Paolo's playmaking.
All right.
Fuck.
Yeah.
Give me my.
Wait.
No, I could re-spin, but I'd rather just play.
Say, give me Austin Reeves with Scottie Barnes finishing.
You should have respawn the finishing because Austin Reeves already a great finisher.
You should try to get Scottie Barnes defense.
That could have been nasty.
I could have tried, but let me say, I'm not going to be too greedy.
Then whenever you get Scott is shooting.
Yeah, I know.
Exactly.
Let me not gamble.
I'm straight.
Okay.
Now, I do need better playmakers on my team, though.
Yeah, I can't playmaking.
Rees a very good player.
Yeah, I'm literally the 76th is right now.
It's good.
It's not additive.
Not bad at all.
All right, back to Isaac.
Please.
There's A-Cuff with Donovan Mitchell's dunking.
Darius A-Cuff.
Okay.
Or.
Frans Wagner with LeBron shooting.
Ooh, ooh.
So just fraud.
Hey, re-spin LeBron.
Wait, wait, wait.
Reespin LeBron.
Give me Franz with somebody's shooting.
That's really good.
Reespin LeBron.
Okay.
First,
please.
Reespin LeBron.
I got to use Re-kin at some point.
Assar.
Give him.
Make a mess.
Oh, fuck.
There's nobody.
She could have got.
Well, these guys got Franz Wagner.
Because he also just to be shooting that consistency.
Oh, shit.
I got Franz Vodger.
at my six men or two what do I do
six men for now
yeah he can't shoot
yeah fronds are the men shooting
that's what game like that does to you man
honestly is it's fronzie
don't know what to stop
fronds also can't shoot I don't know
I think I just got fronds
all right Donovan back to you
back to me please
Derek White with BAMS scoring
83
or Kyle Kuzma
dog
What did I do?
What did I do?
What did I do?
Oh, shit.
But you can work with this.
You have re-spins.
You have to re-spin.
I must re-spin.
And this is why you save him.
Oh, man.
Respin, bam.
Smart.
That's what I would do, too.
Neda-Met, Nat-Met, Nat-Met.
Derek White.
Jimmy Butler's scoring.
We will take that.
It's 20, 26.
Jimmy both of that. I don't care.
You don't score like that.
I'm not taking, I'm not taking a player built off of Kuzm.
Do Jimmy Buller, I was like 16 a game, man.
Good luck.
I'm taking Derek White.
Well, they're scoring.
Okay.
Yeah, a little better scoring.
Okay.
All right.
Has to be better than the way he did this past year anyways.
True.
All right.
Your second player,
Pascal Seaccom and Rudy Gobert.
Playmaking.
You got nothing.
Did I say?
anything wrong.
What the fuck?
You better pray right now.
Say a prayer for me, brother.
Please.
B pods with Cheds.
Ooh.
Playing that.
It was almost.
B pods and chat.
Play me.
Yo.
Um.
Second re-spin?
I think I have to.
Yeah.
Resping,
uh,
Gobert's attribute.
We're going to try to get defensive.
The attribute.
Yeah.
Oh, you know, oh, that's crazy.
I would respond
Gobert.
Speed.
You're even older,
you're just stupid by the fucking
fuck.
You should have re-spung
Gobert and trying to get passing with Siaco.
Oh, my God, man.
Gobert's speed
in a 6'8 body, you suck.
Yeah, you're not good.
What the fuck?
Oh, my God.
Somebody gets this guy a wheelchair.
This guy's Tobias hairs, man.
Fucking not good.
Literally every time we do one of these drafts.
He just built Jared Solinger.
It's the worst outcome possible.
The massive Siam lost like four steps are going to move by to it anymore.
Yo, he's not.
He's throwing both and spin it around.
I don't understand.
Man.
All right.
I don't understand what I did.
Isaac.
Oh, man.
You want a championship.
That's what it is.
Can't get nothing.
Aaron Peterson.
with Deer and Fox Clutch.
Oh, brother, right now.
And somewhere at 226, tough.
Or Rudy Gobert with AJ's finishing.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Do I want to spin?
Oh, that's nasty.
Loki, that's nasty.
Do I just take that?
I don't try to spin and get scoring overall.
Blast some you gambled, it bit your ass.
I mean, if I get defenses players worthless.
Anything else, though, with AJ, I'm better.
No, finishing is the strongest suit, I think.
I mean, I have handle and shit
But it's like
What is that?
Okay, I'll take Gobert
With AJ's finishing
That works
Okay, I got my center
Like Rudy Gober
If he could finish
Like if he could actually catch a lot
And I got like good hands
I got Mowbly who can shoot
I'm in there
Yeah, it's good
Oh my team is crazy
That's good
All right
Let's go to Mo
Brutney stars
I need otherworldly beings
Buzélas
Will Lamello's defense
Morris
There's A-Cuff with Reeves finishing
Oh that's a
Ray's one of the best rim finishing guards in the league
Okay
Now I do need
I do need to fill up my big men
Or I could have like
I could have A-cuff coming off the bench
As a great six man too
Even mind you can also spin the first player
Yeah I could
But I didn't get this is not a bad option either
Like I think I'll take
I keep A-cuff in Reeves
With the finishing
as my six man.
That's good.
I would just put an A cup,
trying to get somebody
else are refinishing.
That could have been crazy.
I'm sure.
I'm a conservative man.
You are.
In all facets of life.
You're there.
What's that beep?
So,
right,
don't mean of the bus.
Ew.
All right.
Two rounds left.
All right.
It's back to Mall, right?
Yep.
All right, let's do it.
All right.
Your next player,
Khan with Jamal's
clutchness.
Oh.
Come on Marry's clutchness or right now that's not good.
Bam with Yokic's clutch.
Bam, we're yokech's clutch.
Give me that.
Bam,
for sure.
I could really do anything with Yokic and be straight.
So damn,
I should have respun that for real.
Yeah, you should have clutch?
Come on.
I should have respond that for real.
I mean,
but what if I get Yokich's defense?
That's the only thing that's like better than me.
But still the odds are greater.
I should respond that.
That's my first sell honestly.
Yeah,
clutch.
What does that mean?
He still can't shoot like that.
He still not get it to the rim.
He's making the right decisions.
because he's clutch
Okay
Okay
My turn
Isaac
First player
Devin Booker
With Boazelis's body
Oh he's 6.8s
Yeah that's tough
That's Kobe
Or
Jamal Murray with B pods
Playmaking
B Pod
Give me Devin
Booker with Modis' body
Easily
Now he's huge
Put on my two
It's got
His guy has
Booker Tatea Mowblee
Gobert
Fives off the bench
I don't get anything
at the mud today.
This shit's all easy.
Wow, man.
Just that's bronze with the Metschie.
All right.
Let's finish this team.
Your last player.
Spin it.
There's Garland with
Trey Young's finishing.
Not doing it.
Oh my God.
Or
Chet with
Cooper Flagg's finishing.
Okay.
Thank you.
I'm taking Chet.
Ooh,
with Cooper Flagg
get into the realm?
I'm taking Chet.
That's relentless.
That's crazy.
Okay.
Now he is Kevin.
Now he is white Kevin Garnett.
Yeah.
Literally.
That's nuts.
See, okay, I need a star guard to bring this, to bring everything to the last player.
Here you go.
First player, Dylan Brooks.
Come on, man.
The Fox's defense.
It's useless.
Star player.
Just spin the second one.
Or.
Tori and Prince.
Kawai with Denny's dunking.
Damn, man.
But you can have Kawhi in some resort.
Kawhi.
I have no point.
You get some version of Kawhi.
So I put Derek White at the point.
Or you could re, you could re-spin,
Kauai, I hope it's a point guard.
With Denny's dunk, he's pretty good.
Yeah.
That's probably good.
What if you get, like, Steph or something like that?
Probably the move.
If you get Steph, that's crazy.
It's insane.
Like, you got the best player in the league.
Here we go.
Fronts,
front.
Point forward, okay.
But with the point guard,
a big bleed ball handling.
Oh, that sucks, man.
Should have stayed home.
Still, can't shoot.
Yeah.
I hate this team.
Yo, you have no good shooting on this team.
I know.
You got no.
No shooting on the scene.
I have no good team.
Oh my God.
At least you got a demon chat though.
Isaac, your last player.
This sucks.
Oh, my gosh.
Hollow with Jimmy Butler's clutchness.
Okay.
Jimmy Bluch as hell.
Or Zion with Bam's body.
I don't know how good that is anymore.
Mm.
Bam's body.
Do I try to respite for defense?
Yeah.
Bam is a better shooter.
He's a better defender.
He's a better pass.
Yeah.
You can't lose.
You can't lose.
Or Palo with Jimmy's, I could try to get his, like, passing or defense.
Like a fixed palo.
He's pretty good.
But fixing Zon is right there.
What was this you know I need again?
You need point guard.
Oh, yeah, point guard.
I got Booker.
Booker can play point guard a little bit if I really want him to.
Yeah, Booker.
Make you Bucker play point guard again.
Fuck.
So I sucks.
Taita and SGA handles a point guard.
I'm kind of cool with that.
Demi, these guys are both power forwards.
I can't really use their power.
Take it re-spins Isle.
What if he gets on and they'd like it?
I don't know.
Yeah, re-spins Zile.
See if you can get a guard.
With,
with BAM's body?
I'd re-stained on.
Curl with Bams' body?
Six-thed demigod.
Garland.
Bam's body?
You know, that's the most fun outcome.
That's crazy as fuck.
Yeah, it is.
That's the most fun outcome.
Respins Ayle.
Let's see what happens.
I already even think I won.
Boozalans with Bams' body.
Whatever that means.
All right.
So, Booker's my point guard.
modest and bams
you already
you already re-spin one time
yeah
oh actually I already have
Boozellas's body
so I got two
bozellas bodies
okay
oh no no
you have bozellas
with Bams
got Bands by
so put Tatum
with the two
and then I got
Buzellas
with Bams body
what does that mean
don't worry about it
Buzellus with
he just got
he's got more muscles
on him now
has that making better
I guess so
I guess
what NBA players is this
rough
All right, Mo, your last player.
Okay.
Bonga.
Trey with Jalen Brunson's dunking.
Oh, useless.
Okay.
Or.
That's just Trey.
And with AD's defense.
But you're still six five.
Who cares?
What does his defense look like at a six five body?
He's still good.
I'm fucking elite.
What do I need?
I think I need a four.
Yeah, four.
You could respit aunt and try to get a four.
Honestly, because honestly, yeah.
You already have 80s defense?
Yeah, I'm gonna try to re-spin and right now.
Okay.
Good gas line.
You could have to put KD at the four and put him with the three.
That was good.
That was stupid as fun.
I have another re-spin though.
I only use one.
Oh, yeah, I haven't used one yet.
Yeah.
Okay, second re-spin.
Fucking re-spin again.
Jamack, get out of here.
Respin what?
McCain.
Yeah, McCain.
Okay.
Come on.
Another guard.
Yeah.
I can't lose, I guess.
That was so useless.
My final reason was I got the same thing.
What are the odds?
It's not bad, but it's like, okay.
The odds aren't high at all.
But there's like so many players in this.
I know.
Okay.
Fuck it, I guess.
I'll put my three and I'll switch up with Katie.
Yeah, that's what you should have.
That's smart.
That's so funny.
Wow.
So I got six foot nine, Devin Booker.
Tatum with SGA's handle
Buzela's with Bam's body
Mowgli and Mekyllis scoring
Gobert with AJ DeBonsa
finishing and Franz Wagner with a men
shooting. I have Franz
with Danny Duncan and my
point guard. Derek White, Jimmy
Butler scoring, J. Dubb with
Siakum with Seacum
with Gobert's speed. Seacum
with Gober's speed. Chet at the five with
Cooper Flag finishing and Stefan
Castle off the bench with Asar Thompson's
has hands. Only one of your players got better.
Yeah, everybody
Literally everyone got worse
This is
I got SGA
Ant playmaking
That's neutral
That's just aunt
Or that's just SGA
Reeves with Scotty Barnes
finishing
That's tough
Ant with AD defense
Swiss army knife from hell
Okay
KD Tateam defense
Holy fuck
That might be the best player
In the league
Okay
Bam
Yokic clutch
All right
That's the funniest
What does that
I don't
He just
Does everything at the right time
I guess
Don't fuck up
Yeah.
And then I got Darius Aikoff with the Reese finishing.
Who?
There you go.
My team makes sense, I think.
It seems are hilarious.
I don't have no playmakers, but.
Who's zealous in the damn's body?
That's the most normal NBA player.
It's a 3D guy.
Yeah.
I just have a guy.
That's hilarious.
Who is that?
So I just run this whole thing back.
You got to see Yakum with God damn Rudy Go bear body.
Got Skylibisi.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
