First off, you don’t have the opportunity to select any game-changing stars, but you do have the opportunity to construct for depth and versatility by selecting players who might flourish when made a first, second or third option on offense rather than a third, fourth or five option.While most teams in the NBA do have rosters that are top-heavy and the bottom couple of players are indeed the bottom couple of players, I wanted to build a team that could conquer its own top-level talent deficiency with versatility and the ability to match up with a variety of opponents. Aldridge is clearly the better player, but he’s also 34 and his numbers have slightly dipped over the past two seasons. And given the expansion fees other leagues are charging, the NBA can command a price that can offset short term lost revenue. (Remember when we all watched Kevin Durant and Derrick Jones Jr. on ESPN, playing NBA2K in silence? Call me crazy, but I still believe in Gary Harris — especially for an eighth-round pick in this draft. That coach would be Kenny Atkinson (because let’s face it, the New York Knicks are going to screw this up somehow), and he’d have more than enough shooting, positional versatility and defense to give any superstar-driven team a run for its money. With 30 teams each able to carry 15 players in the regular season, plus a pair of two-way contracts, that would increase the maximum number of players under NBA contract to 544 (up from 510). Tobias Harris, who’s only 27, locked in some scoring and potential for growth.The return of the NBA season is inching closer but for much of the past four months, it was far from certain. Otherwise, apologies to cities left off the list. I wanted to embrace some variance in the hopes that a team constructed in this fashion could at least make top teams work for their eventual wins.With that in mind, I had Hayward, Dinwiddie and Aldridge tentatively marked down for my last three picks. From there I took Hayward to round out a feisty group of two-way wings, followed by Dinwiddie to add to the team’s length and versatility at the backup point guard spot.The last pick came down to two frontcourt players I had on my board from the beginning: LaMarcus Aldridge and Clint Capela. From here it was interesting to see who prioritized what skills and positional groups, as well as a bit of gamesmanship around the rule of each expansion franchise only being able to select one player from each team (more on that below).Draymond Green was my third pick, and though that seems high, he’s the defensive linchpin that unlocks a plethora of lineups for Seattle. Although his 3-ball has been unreliable over the last few years, he’s respectable enough to spread the floor and his ability to guard positions 2-5 is a major boost. California already has four, more than any other state. Let’s not write him off yet when he only just turned 30.As a stout, defensive-minded big man who can pass and doesn’t need a lot of touches, the 26-year-old Steven Adams was the perfect starting center.
