    Spend $15 total. I got...
    Joker
    Luka
    Wemby
    Jalen
    I really wanted to find a place for Lillard, but I think I have enough offense.

    Usually it's 15 but you have to pick five, yeah?

    In my mind, this should require one player from each column. So I'd go:
    SGA $4
    Booker $3
    Brown $2
    Lebron $4
    Wemby $2

    Now, If I needed one from each column and one from each row, I'd keep the first 3, and swap my frontcourt for Giannis and Baby Sabas (4-3-2-5-1).

    Not that fun if you’re just picking one from each row.

    C - Wemby for $2

    Wemby was only a rookie, but he probably would have the best production for his value on his list, even last season.

    SF/PF - KD/Lebron for $4/each

    With Wemby seemingly being so cheap, I’d spend more at the forward positions. I’ll take Lebron to control the tempo and KD to make shots and help on defense.

    PG/SG - Dame/Kyrie for $2 each

    More shot makers. I didn’t see either Fox/Booker or Curry/Reeves to be an upgrade in the backcourt.

    If I weren’t required to take one from each column, I’d go:
    Curry $3
    Kyrie $2
    Kawhi $3
    Lebron $4
    Wemby $2

    This team would be a lot more cohesive and probably win any given game. Any of Lebron, Kyrie, or Curry could run the offense. I just know Kyrie and Steph will have a much easier time play on this squad than Dame because they are a lot better at moving off the ball. Kawhi, Lebron, and Wemby would also be a strong defensive frontcourt.
