curry livingston jokic giannis wemby


sameredditguy

Yup this is where I got to


blingblingmofo

Giannis a steal for $2


Helivon

honestly should be swapping VC with Giannis for their respective costs. giannis at 2 is stupid low. he should be in any theoretical draft here


urediti

funny thing is, wemby can become close to that player irl


RzaAndGza

Curry part is the most unrealistic, there's a reason Curry is the undisputed greatest shooter of all time


ApprehensiveTry5660

He doesn’t need to quite equal Curry as a shooter since the amount of players he can simply shoot over is dramatically larger. I don’t thiiiink his future is high volume 3 point attempts, but he doesn’t have to work as hard to be a theoretical 10 attempts at 40% shooter as someone 6’3”~ does.


urediti

i'm fine with 38% on 7 attempts


Friendly_Kunt

He can accomplish almost all of it outside of Steph’s shooting. I honestly don’t think we ever see a shooter like Steph again.


explicitviolence

This is the only answer. Giannis/Jokic/Livingston are the 3 biggest bargains. Then the best shooter and best body.


finglonger1077

Hot take: Dirk/Hakeem/Westbrook is even cheaper for that three category run and arguably better overall.


Duck8Quack

This is the correct answer.


brokendrive

Can we just leave out midrange? I'd just take Steph's anyways lol or honestly with jokic post moves and wemby body fuck it, who needs a midrange at all


firstacen

no other build comes close


Drummallumin

I had Duncan and Embiid instead of Jokic and Wemby, but yea pretty much the same thing


Fine_Lengthiness_341

same


GarlicHummusHero69

Wemby body and Steph shooting are locks to me. Already basically unstoppable. Livingston mid range is fine, we’ll never have to shoot mid range anyways. With the final $5, you could do a lot of combinations for finishing and post moves. I think you go LeBron finishing, and then Dwight for the post. Since Wemby is so tall, any finisher and post move combo will still be relatively unstoppable.


lxkandel06

I think Giannis finishing and Jokic post moves is wayyyyy better than LeBron finishing and Dwight post moves


Pitiful-Pension-6535

It's not even close. Jokic post-ups are one of the most efficient plays *in NBA history* and Giannis is one of the better finishers to ever play.


dutchfromsubway

Dwight had no post moves


Jeremy9096

This gotta be the right answer because Giannis finishing would make a lot more sense when you consider Wemby's body type. Plus it gives you the Jokic post moves Only thing here is that Jokic does put some weight into his post moves and that would be a little more difficult for wemby. But likewise being a lot longer (pause) allows some leeway there


GarlicHummusHero69

Yeah I agree with this. My thinking was even Dwight’s weak post hook move would be unstoppable if it was Wemby, but getting the masterful footwork that comes with Jokic post moves is definitely the way to go.


Tasty-Concern-8785

dwight post moves is just no post moves. dudes at my ymca have better post games than dwight


Hard-To_Read

Those were my exact thoughts.  This is a dumb exercise


Broner_

Wemby height is insane but I took “body” category to mean size and strength, not just height. I went embid for strength and it frees up another dollar for better midrange or post


Throway_Shmowaway

I had a different approach. I figured if you can package elite finishing, an elite 3 point shot, and elite post moves for $3 each (Lebron, Miller, Jokic, respectively), you're free to put that into the biggest, strongest body on this list. Not to mention that Yao Ming was actually really nimble and wasn't just a statue down low.


GarlicHummusHero69

The way Embiid moves is very limiting imo, and much easier to stop than Wemby movement. Embiid can’t bring the ball up and run an offense, nor can he move without the ball at the elite level that Wemby’s movement allows for. Give me fluid/smooth movement over heavy/lumbering movement any day.


Broner_

Yeah I agree, I was taking “body” just to mean size and strength. Being able to bring the ball up would be handles, and how well he can move in the paint would be post moves. It’s a totally hypothetical situation anyway. I wasn’t taking any skills from embid, just his muscle mass a height


jezfm

Giannis for $2 for finishing is the steal of the draft. Man shot 61% around the rim this season


System_Lower

Try 81.1% from 0-3 feet! 61 was his overall %. (Bball ref)


Fabulous-Plate-3007

That’s ridiculous


Drummallumin

Bruh they got the best mid range shooter ever at $1


Big_al_big_bed

Yeah but can he do that with Derrick roses knees?


MajorDickLong

only bc he’s 8 feet tall and stiff arms everyone, if you have d-rose’s body with giannis finishing all of a sudden it’s not so elite anymore


cosi_bloggs

Curry DeRozan Jokic LeBron Edwards


SnapsOnPetro24

Exactly what I did


Bensruthchris

Same


anunana100

I almost did this but decided the jokic post moves are pointless without a big body. Downgrade to Dwight who in his prime was a killer in the post and the upgrade to Embiids body to add 6+ inches.


Pitiful-Pension-6535

Dwight had two left feet and Embiid is a walking sprain.


Count_Slothington

This is what I got to in the end as well. Ant’s body is the one I trust to actually stay on the court, so I chose that first and then knew I’d have enough money for Steph’s shooting. Derozan seemed the next best way of getting a bargain.


Wolfpac187

Livingston mid-range for $1 is a bargain. More so than anyone else on here. Curry - Livingston - Jokic - Giannis - Wemby


jrg566

This was my build too


Drummallumin

Call me crazy but Steph at $5 is almost as much of a bargain.


ArchyEasyDraw

Curry (non negotiable)- Livingston (midgame slept on) - Duncan (money) - Bron (over the other finishers) - Edwards (I'd like Embiid thick and DRose quick but injuries so pass)


cackmang

I had the exact same lineup. Right on!


ArchyEasyDraw

In Livingston I trust! Classic


Drummallumin

If Yao is the $5 option I don’t think we’re counting injuries


NBA2024

Yao Ming-Shaq ONeal-Tim Duncan- Shaun Living- and no 3PT shooting at all. Ez clapp


chomstar

Basically just a bigger Shaq


NBA2024

Shaq doesn’t have a Livingston jumper lol


aBurgerFlippinSecond

Steph’s 3-PT shooting, DeRozan’s mid range, Jokic’s post moves, Giannis’ finishing, and Embiid’s body. Easy money spent.


urediti

Civil-Environment750

For pure scoring??? Not counting injury proneness… Curry (5) Livingston (1) Timmy (4) Giannis (2) (how is this 2) Embiid (3) Thick 7’2” long reach infinite accuracy and range with Giannis driving package and one of the 5 best under the basket games ever… maybe wemby for embiid and jokic for Timmy but either way that’s beating anything else I’ve seen in these comments


Justinyeethahahahaha

the 2 best finishers ever imo are Lebron and Giannis, 3 and 2 dollars respectively is kind of crazy


newmixchugger

Curry is so much better than everyone else at shooting that he really should cost like $6 lol for 5 he’s still a steal


Zealousideal-Cat-847

reggie dirk jokic giannis wemby this might be the greatest big man of all time.

J4degrees

Deep_Egg1442

Embiid body Giannis finishing jokic post moves derozan middy steph shooting. This the best possible build


Big_al_big_bed

Embiid body giving you a solid 50 games and one playoff round per season


Deep_Egg1442

He didn’t say this was for a season or anything he just said build the best scorer


Drummallumin

If injuries count then Yao isn’t the $5 option


Conscious_Stage3114

I think one could argue Dirk over DeRozan makes up for Dame instead of Steph


Miserable-Lawyer-233

Curry and LeBron. I built the best scorer with 8 dollars. All of the others can be $1.


straub42

You’re leaving like 15% of your money on the table. Are you sure you wouldn’t want to beef that up? Wait a second, is this Rob Pelinka?

johnniewelker

Crazy how many people are skipping MJ. I’d go MJ, Jokic, Lebron, Rose, and Miller. Offensively juggernaut Alternate would be MJ, Jokic, Westbrook, Wemby, and the other guy left. Defensive juggernaut


No-Mulberry-908

The gap between Steph and the other options as a 3pt shooter is far greater than Mj and the others as a midrange shooter.


analyzingnothing

I mean, the simple problem is that mid-range shots, no matter how good, are rarely as efficient as other looks. MJ shot around 49-50% from the midrange, which is absolutely crazy, but like… a 33% 3pt shooter is just as efficient, and that’s not even good. Mid-range shooting in the modern game is a last-resort option, the shot you take if the other team is shutting off your more efficient options and giving you a near-open look. It’s just not worth the points when you could be putting it into other attributes.

justiceway1

Steph's 3pt shooting, Livingston's mid ranger, Hakeem's post moves, Russ' finishing, Embiid's body. 7 footer with Hakeem's post game, best 3pt shot ever, elite finishing and middy? That's the greatest player ever


YaHurdMeh

Conscious_Stage3114

Dame Dirk Jokic Giannis Embiid


KrypteK1

3pt Shooting: $5 Curry Mid Range: $1 Shaun Livingston, he was a dog even with the insane injuries Post Moves: $3 Jokic, he’s an all-time great center and that’s because of his offensive package. His post moves are probably the best in the league right now. Finishing: $2 Giannis, elite rim pressure and dunking ability. Doesn’t have the finesse of other all-timers like Bron or Vince, but still insanely dominant. Body: $4 Wembanyama, this is the absolute lock to me. 7’4” barefoot with great agility and so far, minimal injuries.


j2e21

Not having McHale among the best post moves immediately invalidates the whole exercise. Also, no Ray Allen for 3-point shooting?

creal

Livingston for a dollar is crazyyyyy


DenseOntologist

None of the finishers are very good. Those players are just all incredible athletes who can overpower their opponents. But someone like Kyrie should be the $5 finisher. Also, midrange shooting is not super important. You have to be good enough to hit a few open shots to punish defensive mistakes, but I never want my ideal scorer taking lots of them. Three of your "body" candidates are serious injury risks. Then Wemby would scare me injury-wise, though I'm rooting for him to have a healthy career. Ant is the easy choice. That said: -Steph (5) -Livingston (1) -Hakeem (5) -Giannis (2) -Ant (2)


Santhizar

Where are the handles though? Shot creation and separation are crucial to a scorer. Does my Frankenstein dribble like Kyrie, Steph, and Jordan...or like Andre Drummond?


jodaewon

Miller Livingston Hakeem Giannis Wemby I think an unstoppable post move against players now adays would be a cheat code. Shots not falling let me just back down and get easy 2s for the rest of the game.


hornymaster23

Curry shaun jokic russ wemby still got a dollar left


Aggravating_Buddy_73

Curry, Derozan, Hakeem, Westbrook, Edwards. Other than Steph's threes and Hakeems postmoves, the other three need one's skill to go along with the body. Say Wmby's body with Derozan Midrange would be awkward looking. That's why I have the ideal shooting guard build in Edwards with some of the best finishing for his size in Westbrook. Pair that with Derozan's midrange and you basically got MJ. Now you have the best Post player and Three point shooters ever.

Throway_Shmowaway

Miller's 3 Livingston's middy Jokic's post moves Lebron's finishing Yao Ming's body. Picking Curry's 3 seems like an easy pick, but I don't think the difference between his and Reggie's 3 point shot is significant enough to spend an extra $2. Livingston's middy is the easiest choice because when you have a player with such insane inside/out scoring, you don't really have to hunt for midrange shots much. Jokic and LeBron for $3 each in post moves and finishing respectively is such a steal, and it allows you to package all that scoring in a body as long as Wemby and on par with Shaq's strength. Yao Ming was a god damn test tube baby. A dude that big and strong shouldn't ever be that light on his feet, and yet there he was.

AlpsAwkward6337

Just give me MJ in his Prime after he won his first 2… He STILL has another 6 or 7 years… and what makes Mike so very great that gets overlooked. His ability to adapt, and get better with the challenge. See if Mike saw the 3 point shooting of today… He would work, work , work, to try and match shots. I venture to say he would definitely only around 5% less than Steph after the adaptable and Ultra competitive Michael Jordan is determined to add that to his repertoire and his anything you can do I can do just about as good, plus in my prime no one matches my explosive quickness to the basket on offense, and to the ball when it’s going down to the ground off the dribble for a steal… Yeah… Just give me a young MJ just about in his prime… WHERE he gets even better than we know him and what he was!… SCARY!

Giannis is a freight train, DeRozan has had an elite middy in previous years, Dwight at the height of his career…stop it…that back shoulder spin for the lob was unstoppable and would’ve won him a ring if not for the mamba🟣🟡 so let’s be for real. Basically, just redefined Wambam to a deadly 3 level scorer which he actually could be in real life, crazy.
