THREAD: Top 8 Under-25 Players I’m building around, and how I’m doing it.
1. Luka Doncic

Multiple 3&D Wings, some other playmaking guards to handle when Luka is tired/out, and a strong, defensive/rebounding minded big to run PnR and fast breaks with
2. Ben Simmons

Shooters. Shooters. Shooters. Ben Simmons, when surrounded by shooters, is a Superstar. Won 17 straight games to end the 17-18 season with no Embiid, surrounded by Roco, Redick, Bellinelli, Ilyasova, Dario. Also a rim protecting big that can space the floor.
3. Jayson Tatum

Pretty simple, get him another All-NBA level scorer, a guard that can playmake and shoot to handle, and a defensive anchor in the paint.
4. Devin Booker

A dominant big man who can bang down low and put up 20 per game, a pass-first guard to make up for Booker’s playmaking, and defensive wings who can run the floor
5. Donovan Mitchell

Similar to Booker, a big man who can dominate on both ends while spacing the floor, 3&D all over the place.
6. Trae Young

Defense. Defense. Defense. Hawks have the right idea for their rebuild, Hunter, Huerter, Collins, and Reddish are all the type of player Trae Young thrives around. Give them some time, and a 2-Way big man, and boom.
7. Zion Williamson

Playmakers at the guard position to run the floor with him and throw lobs, shooters along with them, and a floor-spacing big man that can rebound. Zion with an empty paint and passers around him is scary😬
8. Ja Morant

Similar to Trae Young. Shooters, defense, a tall, athletic forward that can run PnR or PnF, and an anchor big man.
HM: Bam Adebayo

An interesting case, since he’s still developing his huge skill set, but a 20+ PPG scorer and shooters (literally the Miami Heat rn), and another consistent defending guard
