  1. Set up a 12-team, standard nine-category auction league with 13 roster spots and a $200 budget.
  2. Choose Build Around Strategy, then select Punt FT%. You control which categories to target or punt.
  3. Select Luka Doncic, Dyson Daniels, Rudy Gobert and Derrick White. Review max bids, remaining budget and positional openings. The potential-roster outlook includes these four selections plus nine modeled additions, not just the four-player core.
  4. Explore guard, wing and center recommendations to complement the build.
  5. Compare a primary board and two alternatives with complete rosters, category outlooks and planned budgets of $200, $197 and $195. All three keep the selected core. These are illustrative pre-draft plans, not guaranteed results or live picks.

Your picks. Your team's potential.
