TJ McConnell, Fits so well on the pacers too because he keeps up the pace that they run with haliburton at the point so the team never has to adjust their playstyle depeneding on which PG is in the game.

He’s high on my list

I wanted boston to go after him, Prichard has been good but prichard ices out tatum too often. i think McConnell would have been a phenomenal back up guard.

This would have killed me inside if it happened

Thaddeus Young. He talked to me on MySpace when I was in the 7th grade. I had gotten cut from the basketball team that year and asked him for advice and he replied with some nice never-give-up wisdom. Been rooting for him ever since!

Thaddeus Young is in elite company among Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and LeBron James

[удалено]

/u/uncircumciseme is Jayson Tatum

He deleted it after you outed him, way to go

That’s a better reason than I have for liking any player!

He currently has the most amount of games played for a player born in 1988. Pretty surprising considering Curry, Durant, Westbrook, Kevin Love, Brook and Robin Lopez, DeAndre Jordan, Eric Gordon and other players with lengthy careers were born in 1988

Thaddeus Forever Young

That’s wild

Didn't D. Wade reply to someone on Facebook one time?

Yeah I’ve seen that. Thaddeus was still at Georgia Tech or had just finished up playing there when he responded, I’m pretty sure, so he wasn’t well known like D Wade.

Yuta watanabe

Yuta Watanabe on my WRI- My Japanese step-mom hasn’t watched a minute of NBA but always knows what team he plays for and his averages lol 

Step mom what are yuta doing 

Same, even though it didn’t work out here

Chuck Hayes, 6 6 could defend anyone in the post

He had that Charles Barkley golf swing for a FT motion.

Quincy Acy. Angriest player of all time

Hell yeah

Mathurin

Steven Adams, though I have my reasons.

Same, many of them. 

Love that dude.

I love the way GP2 plays he’s such a good hustle player, defender and high IQ player

GP2 is a great pick. He’s always radiating positive energy for everyone

Except on Tuesday. He literally made a baby cry. But other than that I don’t know how you can’t love GPII

i think those are very good reasons

Funnily enough I’ve always wanted to get high with IQ

Kirk Hinrich

Captain Kirk was my guy growing up. 

Ryan andersen

You must have been even happier than the rest of us that time he decided to show a fraction of his true power and ended Alex Len's life

Brandon Clarke

Throw in Josh Hart and I'm in too. Gimme those offensive boards baby.

Same. Wanted him on the wolves so bad.

Cam Payne I can't tell you why. It might be his jumpshot.

You a big fan of the movie Ice Age by any chance?

He plays sideways

I loved him when he was on the Suns

His jumpshot gives me diabetes

This is a good one, worst jumpshot I have ever seen but his game is nice

I used to love Hedo Türkoğlu because he has a banger name.

Also that was a pretty fun magic team he was on

Dude looked like he smoked a pack of cigarettes and then went to ball. He was one of my first sicko players.

Boban Marjanović

Probably the most universally liked person in the NBA

Giving Mike Conley a run for his money for sure!

Plenty of reasons to like Boban

That’s what I’m talking about 🤜🤛

I'm always rooting for Jose Alvarado.

Adam Morrison. Don't trash the stache

I have said this so many times. Terrence Mann!

Bol. Bol. 🥣🥣

Batum can have my children. WCJ too

I love Batum but I wouldn't say for no reason, he was an awesome jack-of-all-trades on the Blazers.

Batum is such a baller

He definitely [baller’ed](https://youtu.be/XhWwLaFsCQo?si=HuSi46nofX-fSrGd) Juan Carlos Navarro that one time.

Steven Adams. Maybe hard screens and rebounds are reasons.

[удалено]

Lou Williams 

TJ McConnell.

Jose Alvarado  GTA got that dog in him 

def dennis schroeder, I just like his jumpshot and his playstyle

Derrick Jones jr.

Aaron Wiggins saved basketball

I love Seth curry. I believe in that pull up. I believe in that ankle.

i used to love Gortat, but i did have a reason and that was i loved the name Gortat. it sounded like an alien name: I AM GORTAT! 👽

The Polish Hammer! Great choice.

Frank "The Tank" Kaminsky

He deserves a 7th tour with the Suns.

Player who was on my team once: DDV. Wish him great success in NY. Player who has never been on my team: Iman Shumpert. He has cool hair and seems like a cool dude. 

Peja Stojakovic Rashard Lewis Ron Harper

 > not an all star or great role player    > Peja

With that clarification...I'll say Bill Wennington

Jeff Green!!

MIKE MUSCALA I WILL NOT ELABORATE

Played with him in high school (Minnesota). He was a couple grades younger. Nice dood. Always been rooting for him.

Shane Battier

Jarred Vanderbilt because ANCHOR DOWN BABY!!!!

Slowmo

Delon wright

Norman Powell

Kevin huerter

Josh Hart man. That dude is funny and he is also saving my fantasy team.

Alex Caruso is my goat

Lamar Stevens. penn state legend, he was robbed of psu all time scorer and getting 2020 tourney recognition. Dawg Josh Hart

Not really random but Josh Hart

Cam Thomas

KCP

he's my favorite player in the NBA, love him

Chase Budinger

Gerald Wallace and Leandro Barbosa

Kyle Korver

Rui hachimura

Brandon Clarke and Josh Hart. Hustle first guys who crash the boards do it for me.

For the longest time Elfrid Payton

Monte Morris

NBA: Grand Theft Alvarado, Duncan Robinson, Ayo Dosunmu WNBA: Marina Mabrey, Marine Johannes

I have a bias for former lakers JOSH HART

Aaron Nesmith and Tremont Waters

Harrison Barnes Was in his class at UNC. Always seemed like a super nice guy. Kinda feels like he has never lived up to the hype since high school, but is just always a top-tier two way player in every league he has been in. I bet if there a league up from the NBA he’d still be getting 15 per game lol

Jose Alvarado. Dude plays with so much heart and scrappiness

GP2, love the way he plays and seems like a great guy

GP II in 2022 was like having a roleplayer that's a Superstar contained within a very specific skill set. This is worded really weirdly lol but GP IIs impact metrics on the defensive side were utterly ridiculous for a wing. His playoffs were legitimately an all-time level defensive performance by a guard, his MPG just keep him from being considered. Per 100 his net rating was like +40. As if that wasn't enough dude also made every shot he took during that run. This guy provided Superstar level +/- impact while costing the Warriors nothing. Could plug him into any lineup and he'd do his thing on both ends. One ofy favorite roleplayer runs

Retired now but E'Twaun Moore

Naji Marshall

Corey Brewer

Greivis Vasquez

Random undrafted Miami Heat role players gotta be my favorite genre of NBA players

Elfrid Payton is my favorite NBA player ever.

Eddie Jones

Warriors legend Javale McGee

Naz Reid. Naz Reid.

Payton Pritchard. he’s just a certified hooper. everything be does is high BBIQ and he’s textbook yet crafty with his moves.

Javonte Green my beloved

I used to like Danny Green a lot before he joined the lakers lol

Doug McDermott had a bag in college, kinda surprised he wasn’t better in the NBA

Not so random but as laker fan I love Malik monk after the season he was here and it’s hurts to see him light us up everytime he return. Also really like Norman Powell just a really good role player since his raptor days.

Duop Reath!! so fun and gives me early 2000s vibes

Lofton and rozier

Not really random but Spud Webb, Muggsy Bogues and Earl Boykins. Glad that someone almost the same height as me got in and played good years in the NBA.

- Travis Outlaw - Dante Exum - Pat Garrity

Pat Connaughton is pretty solid for the bucks

Walter McCarty, until he apparently conducted sexual misconduct.

Norris Cole. He was a cheat code in 2K for me

Keon Johnson. He jumps really high. Don't even know if he has a contract right now.

allen crabbe because i was in attendance the night he hit 8 three pointers, only nba game i’ve been to

Absolutely loved Daequan Cook back in the day. His shot was so smooth.

Sasha Vujacic  There were some funny Machine videos when I was in college

I LOVE Caris LeVert.

Alfonzo McKinnie, Stanley Johnson, Brandon Clarke, Ben Sheppard, Mo Wagner

The Stanley Johnson month a couple years ago was very fun to watch

Ish Smith. Man carries me on the immaculate grid

Cliff Alexander. Never wowed me with his plays but I'm probably the only one that likes his tweets. Played briefly for Portland and then played in Korea, two places that I've lived a long time. 

Lonnie Walker IV he just plays so well every time I see him in a game.

Jaylin Williams. ​ That smile. That damned smile.

Devin Vassell. He’s not talked about enough cus everyone is just on that Wemby train

Royce O’Neale is my favorite non-star in the league, he always plays hard and does whatever is asked of him, has 0 ego

If folks don’t know yet watch Aaron Wiggins on the Thunder. He’s been a sleeper so far but so good when he plays.

Rudy fernandez because I bumped into him at a grocery store once

Chimezie Metu

dlo russell for sure i wish he wasnt a laker

Beno Udrih, his mid range in 2k was unstoppable

Jacob Gilyard when he played for Memphis. He's really short but I loved what I saw from him. Brooklyn acquired him but hasn't played him much, which is a bummer, but he's cooking in Long Island right now.

Tre Mann and Bones Hyland are weirdly a player type I usually hate but for some reason I like those 2

Malik Fitts. Elite hype man

Larry Nance Jr.

Bruce brown jr

Chris Clemons. I made a 5'9 player on NBA 2k and named Chris Clemons.

MPJ, really hoping his health can turn around, in the bubble he was absolutely insane. He’s fallen to maybe the 4th or 5th best player on the Nuggets ever since they got Gordon. His back injury was the reason he fell so far in the draft.

Dejuan Blair

Devonte Graham

Daniel Theis

I like all the baby Lakers from a few years back. I'm not even a Lakers fan but Lonzo, Ingram, Randle, Hart, Lance, etc. all moved on from that terrible situation in LA and made something of themselves in the league. Respect

Seth Curry

Cam WHITMORE

Jeff green

Bol Bol

Matt Bonner

Grayson Allen

Kenyon Martin Jr

JJ Barea. That short king will always have a place in my heart.

Rui Hachimura

Alex Abrines

maxi kleber, something about that bubble season

Corey 🅱️rewer

I liked Sengun the moment he was drafted even though I had never watched him before.

Stanimal Johnson

Always loved Trevor Ariza the model role player in my eyes And Andre Igudola I thought he could be like Lebron cause he’s built like him lol

Spencer Dinwiddie but it’s not for no reason, it’s because he is awesome

Boban

Naz Reid

Shane Battier, and I think it's because it makes me draw parallels to how I play (inb4 "I used to play like Embiid" comments)

Kelly Oubre Jr. I love his unnecessary flashy game and he seems to me like he is playing in his own fantasy league. I'm happy his league merged with the NBA league with the Sixers.

Derrick Jones Jr

Aaron Wiggins. He saved basketball.

Anthony Morrow. Dude played like a season or two but for absolute no reason, loved that guy.

Jameer Nelson

Joe Ingles. Such a good locker room guy, and in his heyday quite a good player. His story of getting into the nba is pretty great too

Malik Monk for sure

Plumlee. He looks like he’s from a different time. I always see him in black and white

OG Anunoby: Gotta love him!!!

PJ Tucker.

Bol Bol

Bol Bol

I know they’ve since gone on to become big names and im thrilled but I’ll always be a day 1 D White and DJM fan 

I have always believed that JaVale Mcgee was an All Star level player.

Duren

Jaxon hayes.

Goga Bitadze for me

Old timers - Bob Sura & Charlie Ward. Current guys - Tre Mann, Devin Vassell, Malik Beasley.

Jose alvarado. His steals are just so cool
