Answers to the August 30 NBA HoopGrids puzzle
DeMar DeRozan is the easy answer for Cell 1. He became a star with the Toronto Raptors and has been playing for the Chicago Bulls the past few seasons. Charles Oakley is an excellent option. He was drafted by the Bulls and later played for the Raptors.
Lorenzo Brown, Will Barton, Malachi Flynn and Christian Koloko are some of the answers for Cell 2 of the NBA HoopGrids. They played for the Raptors and averaged under 5 PPG in a season.
Ron Harper Jr., Jeff Dowtin and Joe Wieskamp have never reached the playoffs and have played for the Raptors. They’re excellent choices for Cell 3.
Dennis Rodman won multiple championships with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls. He’s an easy answer for Cell 4. Derrick Rose and Andre Drummond are also alternatives here.
Nerlens Noel played 14 games for the Pistons last season and averaged 2.3 PPG. He’s a great fit for Cell 5 of the NBA HoopGrids. Thon Maker (4.7 PPG) and Derrick Walton (1.0 PPG) are excellent options here.
Killian Hayes, Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey are popular answers for Cell 6. They have never reached the playoffs in their career and play for the Pistons. Jordan Bone and Louis King are not-so-obvious answers here.
Michael Jordan is the easy and obvious answer in Cell 7. He was an emerging star at North Carolina before he took the NBA by storm with the Chicago Bulls. Meanwhile, Dudley Bradley didn’t make that kind of impact as Jordan but he also played for the Bulls.
Vince Carter, in his last year in the NBA, averaged 5.0 PPG with the Atlanta Hawks. He’s an excellent choice for Cell 8. Pete Chilcutt, Tony Bradley, Raymond Felton and Rick Fox averaged at least one season under 5 PPG and played for UNC in college.
