Giannis over Davis as the C choice is my only worry right now so will take that.
Ended up flipping Harden/Brown into Ivey/Tatum, definitely an early win but see what the other half does before counting my chickens.
I feel like I'm back in the Suns/Giants rookie days using Toronto and Detroit. Not sure those two teams should be making up half my roster!
Today just proved that rookies on good teams are hard work, you're basically chasing blowouts.
Sims very solid albeit inflated minutes in the blowout.
Davis/Tatum both delivering as premiums.
Rui sneaky good score, albeit awkward price point.
McBride looks to have a decent backup role but similar to Sims, blowout bonus time for him. Knicks early schedule is toxic though.
Hayes actually pretty decent also at high end rookie price and definitely can play himself out of a rotation very quickly. Not a bad shout though if they stick to wanting a bigger lineup out there as Davis will almost certainly miss some games.
Payne played but too expensive, imo, for such a limited role and another blowout extra minutes guy.
Knecht pretty solid indicator of him, going to have games where his shot falls and he spikes but very points focused as a score source.
Vincent produced nothing but role isn't awful as the backup guard, would think now they've got the Bronny debut mess out of the way he should be getting those minutes in serious games.
Dadiet at least worth watching for expanded role.
Pritchard blew a golden chance unfortunately, those blowouts where he gets to chuck really need to be his big nights. Could be worth watching if he has a couple more quiet games as the role/minutes were both sound.
Rookie watch going to be something...

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Cleared to play Thursday - CBSSports.com
Sarr (calf) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Sarr missed Washington's final two preseason games with soreness in his calf, but he said Monday that he's feeling great. With a couple more days to go, there's no reason to anticipate the rookie having any restrictions on Opening Night, though his role remains unclear. Sarr started at power forward and center during the preseason, but he's expected to share the frontcourt with Jonas Valanciunas to begin the regular season.

Love Scottie but can't not notice that his numbers fell across the board after the Quickley/Barrett acquisition who both dominate the ball a lot more than Siakam/Anunoby did. Do want to just get a feel for it as it's a pretty small sample before he got hurt. He could definitely put up great numbers, there's good reasons to think he improves but those guys in that price range need to nail it so don't love having some doubts.
Especially this year with no strong looking rookies.
You've got a major issue in that all of Kuminga, Miller, Salaun, Davis, Sengun, SGA, Wallace, Knecht and Sarr have the short game week in week 2, so basically they either need to score absurdly well or you need a lot more trades than you've got planned (or exist), especially given you plan to trade out all the likely best scoring of the group.
Also relying very heavily on rookies on court this week.
Would definitely be re-assessing having so many short week guys next week.

Looks like I'll be going in with this.
No Wemby's or Holmgren's in this rookie crop! Have been tossing between 2 or 3 rookies on-field and have landed on 3. Don't fancy many of the mid-pricers. Most of the ones I like have a poor schedule. Pretty standard picks with the only real POD being Young, like him with no Murray there anymore. Ideally I'd like to go Giannis and SGA to Wemby and Doncic with next week's trades, but rookie corrections will take priority.
