Main / Co Main Record: 9-3 as of UFC 300
Last Weeks Main Co Main Prediction: Islam & Sean
Main card: Jared Cannonier Co Main: Dustin Jacoby
Main - Jared is more experienced, bigger & will win. The AI predictor gives him a 70% chance of winning and I can see why.
Co Main - Dustin has great power and has been rising up in LHW, and they’re feeding him Reyes as a step up. Reyes is done and I just don’t see him wining anymore, he should’ve hung up the gloves last fight and we got ourselves a LHW Tony. AI gives him a 52.5% chance of winning but I would line it 70%, just like Jared
Official Bet :
Jared & Dustin Jacoby $10 -> $31
Full Card Prediction:
No record yet - will track on Google sheets from this week
Puja Tomar 65% (No AI here, just think they’re both can crushers and not very impressive, but think Tomar has fought higher level competition in Asia + being first female Indian fighter will give pressure, and pressure makes diamonds! Good + money)

As the Alouettes played their final exhibition game against the Ottawa Redblacks last night in Ottawa, head coach Jason Maas kept 31 guaranteed starters on the bench in preparation for the Alouettes’ defense of last year’s Grey Cup title. The Alouettes were considered hunters in recent years, usually on the outside looking in, but they will be considered the hunted in this upcoming season with a big target on their backs.
Many starters didn’t play last night as there are many questions that remained unanswered. Two key areas of concern are who will replace William Stanback at RB and who will be starting on the front line to protect Cody Fajardo, the likely candidate to be the Alouettes’ starting QB.
Last week, Montreal released running back Mike Weber Jr. even though he had two impressive runs for 23 yards. It seemed they were high on Stevie Scott III even though he had two minor touches for two yards. Given the fact that both only had two carries last week, it would have only been fair for them to fight out for a position on a team that is looking for a strong back and add some variety to the play calling.
Against Ottawa, I was hoping to see most of our running back display who deserved the number one spot, but it appears the coaches project Walter Fletcher to be our starter, and the battle for the second back would have been determined in these two exhibition games. Stevie Scott III was impressive, but he will be placed on the practice squad as it seems the coaching staff has made up its mind on their starting backs for the Alouettes. Walter Fletcher will be the starting back, while Sean Thomas Erlington, will be his backup.
Last night’s weak offensive line play against Ottawa still showed signs of a work in progress, with impending corrections badly needed.
QB Davis Alexander didn’t play last night as Management appears to recognize his potential. He can become the team’s future QB with last season’s displays of agility and arm strength and during the few exhibition games he played recently. Management is either sold on his abilities and keep him for the foreseeable future, or he might be considered for a trade for a running back and offensive lineman, as he and Caleb Evans will both be in the final year of their contracts next season. Evans wasn’t too impressive yesterday against Ottawa, but yet again, he simply had inadequate protection up front. Give the quarterbacks protection and time, and this team can be even more dangerous than last season.

Our strengths are at wide receiver with many fighting for a position on the practice roster. Charleston Rambo has been stellar at practice and games, along with Ramaud Chiaoka-Bowman. While only one can make the team, we learnt earlier this week that Reggie White Jr. is back on the injured reserve. Bowman was placed on the practice squad, who in case an injury can or will occur during a grueling season of 18 plus games, can always be counted on if needed.
There will be hard decisions to make as the team needs to cut the squad down from 100 to a 45-man roster. Memorable performances by defensive back Cre’Von Leblanc and cornerback Bryce Cosby have literally guaranteed their spots, yet sadly, defensive end T.D. Moultry and linebacker Jaylen Moody have both been released at their respective positions. Defensive coordinator Noel Thorpe has decided to proceed with other players since the Alouettes were stacked at those positions. Dylan Wynn and Shawn Lemon are still front runners for those positions, even though Lemon is presently appealing his suspension.
The final decisions will be made Saturday night as the season begins for the Alouettes on June 6^th against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Coaching staff will have to study tape on how to better protect the quarterback, which is the main concern for the Alouettes at the moment.
Once these team decisions will be made, I will be back with my next analysis with the hope of keeping the CFL and Alouettes fans well informed during the season. Here is the final list of players on the practice squad, released players and suspended players.

ROI: 61%
Parlay Suggestions: 3-0
Dog of the week: Cesar Almeida ❌
Picks: 8-3
Underwhelming card, but as expected it was a pretty easy one to predict. The favourites were mostly consistent, and most of the expected methods of victory landed. Nice profit made for once, but I think I had some fantastic reads on the card in spots that I didn’t bet. I said I expected Poirier to be competitive, and that Islam ITD wasn’t the lock people said it was. Matthews Decision was one I wanted to bet. I warned people that Hafez or Morono were the most likely bed-shitters. Basically, I think last week’s post would have been very useful to read.
✅ 2u Sean Strickland + Over 1.5 Rounds (-130) (won +1.54u)
✅ 2u Sean Strickland in R4, 5 or by Decision (+175) (won +3.5u) (accidentally edited this to 1u on the previous post, which wasn’t the intention. It’s was originally listed as 2u, and was tracked as such on my BetMMA record).
✅ 2u Kevin Holland + Grant Dawson (+110) (won 2.2u)
❌ 2u Cesar Almeida (+125)
❌ 1u Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (+150)
✅ 2u Ailin Perez + Over 1.5 Rounds (-120) (won +1.66u)

~UFC Louisville~
Good to see more touring cards, and a slight step up in calibre from the usual Apex shit. Not a lot of spots I am confident in, I have to be honest…but I see a few underdogs that I’m sprinkling on.

~Jared Cannonier v Nassourdine Imavov~
Not another Nassourdine Imavov five rounder! I’m a fan of his skillset, but I think his cardio is suspect across 25 minutes, which ultimately makes his fights tricky to predict in spots like this. He’s not exactly a potent finisher, and I can’t trust him to win rounds four and five…so I think his path to victory is therefore limited by principal. A Nassourdine Imavov in a main event relies heavily on him winning R1, 2 and 3.
On the other side, Jared Cannonier is a guy I’ve never truly given the respect he deserves. A split decision win over Sean Strickland in a 25-minute fight is certainly impressive, as is the absolute beating he put on Marvin Vettori straight after* (* I believe Vettori has declined massively and is washed, so I won’t be going crazy in overreacting to that). Cannonier is a hard hitter, but he’s also gotten really comfortable in upping his volume across five round too, landing 141 and 241 significant strikes in those two aforementioned bouts respectively. The quantity didn’t dip in rounds 4 and 5 either, which is key considering my comments on Imavov’s cardio.
So I give Cannonier an advantage in R4 and 5, but what about across the other three? Well, the power advantage also goes to him, but the diversity with grappling and submission attempts falls with the Frenchman. Cannonier has started mixing takedowns into his game a bit more, which does present an opportunity for Imavov’s nasty front chokes…but other than that I’m not really sure where else I give Imavov a clear advantage outside of age and height. He’s the bigger fighter, but Cannonier is a strong dude and has looked just fine against other Middleweights (no one of Imavov’s size, to be fair).
Jared is now 40 years old, which is a bit of a dreaded number, which I think is the reasoning for this line being the way it is. People seem keen to blindly fade that age, regardless of whether it’s presented itself on tape. I see what they’re getting at, but Cannonier has put in two of his best performances of his career in his last two…I am not convinced it’s as simple as fading a 40 year old here.
So with that aside, I see far more merit to Cannonier’s side than Imavov’s, so the +100/-125 betting line feels off to me. I understand that Nassourdine just put in convincing performances against Roman Dolidze and Chris Curtis, but personally I think both of those fighters are a cut below Jared Cannonier (and I bet Nassourdine in both spots there). Cannonier would have looked good there too.
However, we have seen Imavov challenged against some of Middleweight’s common names, such as Sean Strickland and Joaquin Buckley…whilst Cannonier has looked good everywhere except against Izzy and Whittaker (he did drop a couple of rounds to Kelvin Gastelum, but it’s hardly raises alarm bells to me as Kelvin’s a tough guy to beat across 25 minutes of kickboxing).
I would personally make Cannonier the favourite here, anywhere between -125 and -150, and I assume the dreaded age of 40 is the reason for the odds here. I ask you this…if Jared Cannonier was 35, would the line be different? I believe it would be, and age is relative in MMA. It’s something to take seriously, of course, but I don’t think Cannonier even looked like he had started to decline in his most recent fight against Vettori last year.
I’ll be backing the underdog here at +100 or better. The line looks to be moving in Imavov’s favour so I will be patient.
How I line this fight: Jared Cannonier -137 (58%), Nassourdine Imavov +137 (42%)
Bet or pass: 1u Jared Cannonier to Win (+100 or better)
Prop leans: None
Live Betting Leans: If Cannonier looks to have won any of R1, 2, or 3 but is still a bettable price going into the championship rounds, I think he should be favoured to win those so could be a good entry in-play.

~Dominick Reyes v Dustin Jacoby~
This one should be fun for the live audience, but it’s an incredibly volatile fight for the bettors.
Very obvious to see why that’s the case for Dom Reyes – he’s got heaps of potential on a good day, but his chin is dust at this point. Seriously, he got knocked out cold by the jab of Ryan Spann. In a striking based fight at 205lbs, that’s all you need to know to decide that putting money on him is an uncomfortable idea.
Dustin Jacoby on the other hand is not the most potent finisher at Light Heavyweight, which immediately makes me think that Dustin isn’t the kind of guy you’d want to play executioner when he’s the favourite against someone with a flaw like Reyes’ chin. You want someone you can trust to put dudes to sleep in one punch – I don’t think that’s Jacoby (having gone the distance in seven of his 11 fights in this second UFC stint, and winning via leg kicks in one of the stoppages). Also, he’s not even particularly reliable to win rounds either, given that he was supposed to be the more technical fighter compared to Alonzo Menifield, Khalil Rountree, Azamat Murzakanov, and Maxim Grishin – where he was a moderate/big favourite every time, and never covered the price.
I still expect Jacoby to probably be the superior fighter across 15 minutes, but his -225 price tag definitely implies that a finish is expected by the oddsmakers…and I just have a whole lot less confidence that he lands it. From there, I also have less confidence that he’ll be the one winning rounds, given how easily he’s fumbled that in the past…so I just don’t see how you can have around 70% confidence in him winning here. Honestly I don’t really think Jacoby can ever justify that kind of pricetag at a UFC level when we have seen him shit the bed so many times.
On the other hand, I couldn’t trust Dominick Reyes’ chin to survive a strong gust of wind, so there’s no way I’d want to play him either. A very easy pass. I’ll pick Jacoby to win though, but I’d never bet him at this number.
In terms of thinking about props, I might be interested in looking at the Over 1.5 Rounds here, given that I disagree with the oddsmaker’s believe in Jacoby’s finishing ability. That’s going to be a horrible bet to sit through, so I’d probably need a decent price like +150 or better. We’ll see what they’re offering, but I doubt it’s that good
EDIT: The more I think about this, the more I think Reyes is value. I still can't really bring myself to play it at under +200, but I will be picking him instead. I just don't think Jacoby KO's him as likely as people think.
How I line this fight: Dominick Reyes +175 (36%), Dustin Jacoby -175 (64%)
Bet or pass: Over 1.5 Rounds (+150 or better…no idea if that’s anywhere near what we’ll get)
Prop leans: See above

~Julian Marquez v Zach Reese~
Julian Marquez is a really fun fighter to watch, I’m glad to see him back inside the cage. He’s never been the most talented, but he’s a C+ at everything and has A grade heart. To beat him, you need to be clinical or vastly superior in one area, or Marquez might surprise you and turn the fight into a war of attrition.
Zach Reese is a 6-1 fighter that lost his debut Cody Brundage (I actually bet Brundage there, haha). Talk about fumbling the bag. He just seems like a classic DWCS fighter, who scores quick finishes against taxi drivers and then is suddenly expected to be diverse and talented enough to take on an actual trained professional that’s been competing against a much higher level for years. The difference between the regionals and the UFC has always been vast, and DWCS proves that time and time again.
Zach Reese’s longest fight time is 4 minutes and 13 seconds. He has literally never been in a fight that’s hit the second round. Julian Marquez, on the other hand, has gone longer than that in five of his 6 UFC appearances to date – and his opponents have all competed in the organisation at least five times. I genuinely think that tells you all you need to know.
And the craziest part is that Zach Reese ain’t even an inexperienced young gun. Him fumbling the debut wasn’t like Tom Nolan, a 24 year old kid that believed his own hype and got sloppy in his debut. Reese is THIRTY YEARS OLD.
The gulf in experience is massive, and the difference in age isn’t. I know Julian Marquez’s UFC record isn’t pretty at all, but how well do you think Zach Reese would fare if he faced the same opponents at the time Marquez did? I reckon he’d be 0-6.
Maybe I’m crazy, but Julian Marquez deserves better than to be a + money underdog against a literal regional opponent. Reese has tall man’s defence, he got tagged in both fights in DWCS/UFC and they were on the feet about 20 seconds combined. Yes he’s clearly got a great submission game on bottom, but Marquez has never been submitted, is a BJJ purple belt and has trained at decent camps before. He’s currently at the MMA Lab and has been training with Cannonier for this one.
I’ll be rolling the dice on the more proven fighter at +100.
How I line this fight: Julian Marquez -150 (60%), Zach Reese +150 (40%)
Bet or pass: 1u Julian Marquez to Win (+100)
Prop leans: None
Live Betting Leans: R1 finishers often have bad cardio, so if we get to the stool then Marquez is definitely worth a bet to turn the tide.

~Brunno Ferreira v Dustin Stoltzfus~
I can’t figure Dustin Stoltzfus out. He’s always presented himself as a good but one-dimensional grappler, judging by performances against high level competition such as Rodolpho Vieira and Gerald Meerschaert…but the way he showed up against Punahele Soriano made him look like a completely different guy. He was supposed to be easily outgunned on the feet there, but he looked seasoned and composed in the striking, and ultimately ended up getting a finish that I think very few people saw coming.
Brunno Ferreira is a super explosive Brazilian powerhouse that hasn’t gone past the halfway point in a fight yet. He throws heat and has that madman style, but his fights are so short I’ve no idea if he actually has any redeeming qualities from a technical or minute-winning perspective. As you probably know by now, my least favourite fighting style is ‘big strike go brrrr’. Ferreira has also had some bizarre results himself, pulling off a huge upset against Gregory Rodrigues, and then getting starched by Nursulton Ruziboev.
The only thing I know about Brunno is that he’ll go to war with an opponent that wants to meet him in the middle…I’ve no idea if Dustin Stoltzfus really wants to do that. He handled himself really well against a similar kind of style in Puna Soriano…but he’s also the same guy that got womped in under 20 seconds by Abus Magomedov.
To conclude, I think I could easily see Brunno Ferreira scoring an easy KO inside a couple of minutes, but I could also see this one looking way more competitive and close than the betting line suggests if Stoltzfus makes it to the stool. Lots of different possibilities, not a lot of confidence in any one outcome.
Brunno Ferreira kind of presents similar red flags to Zach Reese in the last breakdown. The difference between the two, and the reason I am fading Reese and not Brunno, is that I have confidence and knowledge that Marquez can handle that early chaos. I can’t say the same about Stoltzfus, so I won’t be taking a stab on him. Personally I think he’s absolutely the value side though, so if you’re someone who wants to bet every fight then absolutely take him.
I will also be picking him to win, but not because I think he does so 51% or more of the time…just because Ferreira is only known to have a limited path to victory that could easily fall apart.
How I line this fight: Such a volatile fight, I have no idea.
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

~Punahele Soriano v Miguel Baeza~
Speak of the devil!
Punahele Soriano is so, so overrated. I have no idea how he’s even still in the UFC, or how he even got there in the first place. He was hyped up by Dana and the promo team as this scary and lethal striker….but then he pussy’d out and grappled his way to a decision win against Jamie Pickett on DWCS. Surprisingly they rewarded him with a contract (but didn’t want Brendan Loughnane!). Since then, lethal KO artist Puna has scored just three knockouts…but in the four fights he hasn’t, he’s looked like absolute shit. Getting schooled on the feet by Dustin Stoltzfus and Brendan Allen is a really bad look when you’re being advertised as a striker…and losing a decision to Nick Maximov isn’t a good look either!
To their credit, this fight against Miguel Baeza is a genius pairing by the UFC matchmakers though, because Baeza’s career has kind of panned out the same as Soriano’s. A hard hitting DWCS graduate, Baeza got off to a decent start with three consecutive finishes, most notably against Matt Brown. He stepped up the level of competition to face Santiago Ponzinibbio, which resulted in a life and death decision that he narrowly lost. Unfortunately, the losses snowballed dramatically as he was later KO’d by Khaos Williams and Andre Fialho. The latter result the most shocking, given that Fialho is dogshit. Baeza has since taken two years off…and everyone forgot he existed.
Apologies for taking two massive paragraphs to give you both men’s life stories, but it really does paint the picture of this fight from a betting perspective. Both men are overhyped KO artists - with one lacking in durability, and the other lacking in brain cells.
Puna is probably more likely to walk away with the KO win due to Baeza’s declining durability, but he’s also the more likely to get out-struck and styled on if this one turns into a longer distanced fight. Who wins that kind of fight? I have absolutely no idea. I’m just glad that one guy gets to stick around after this fight is over, because I’d be keen to fade both guys in the future.
I have little confidence so it counts for nothing, but I’ll pick Baeza simply because I like to fade finish-reliant fighters, and Miguel seems to be the more technical. His leg kick should work nicely here.
How I line this fight: Punahele Soriano +125 (45%), Miguel Baeza -125 (55%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

~Raul Rosas Jr. vs Ricky Turcios~
I’ve copy/pasted my breakdown for this fight from the UFC Mexico event, and made some updated changes:
I’m still pretty gassed about hitting the fade on Raul Rosas Jr with Christian Rodriguez – definitely one of my favourite bets of 2023. I saw an untested 18 year old that was the beneficiary the UFC hype machine, and a then unknown opponent who had proven tricky to beat with the style Rosas Jr has. I saw it as a pick’em, and Rodriguez was +200. Easy bet to make.
In that fight, Rosas Jr kind of cardio-dumped and gave up once it was obvious that early finish wasn’t going to present itself, and that’s certainly a concern until we see him fight competently for 15 minutes at this level. I can think of countless UFC hype trains that hid their shocking minute winning ability behind dominant and exciting R1 finishes (Edmen Shahbazyan was my initial example, but since writing this Joe Pyfer has given another great recent example), and I therefore simply cannot trust Raul Rosas at this stage in his career when he’s still going to be sitting at -250 on the betting line due to his popularity.
Is Ricky Turcios worth the gamble as an underdog? I don’t really think so. He has been taken down seven and six times in two different UFC fights, has losses to Aimann Zahabi and Boston Salmon, and his wins were against Kevin Natividad and Brady Hiestand…which were both splits. The UFC are clearly treating this as a lay-up fight for Rosas Jr, but without feeding him a promotional newcomer or a fellow inexperienced guy. I don’t mean lay-up as if it’s a squash match, but it’s assumed that he SHOULD win here, instead of them throwing him to the wolves or making him go up against a fellow serious prospect.
Stylistically this one all revolves around the cardio for me, because I don’t think Turcios has what it takes to win this fight off the merit of his own skillset. He needs Rosas Jr. to gas out first, if he’s going to have any hope of having his way here. We have no way of knowing whether or not Rosas will gas, as it could have just been a one off and he’s so young that he could make the improvements quickly.
Personally, I’d be willing to give Rosas Jr the benefit of the doubt. The Rodriguez loss really should have opened his eyes, and it’s often the best thing for a young prospect to get that wake up call sometimes, as he was probably starting to believe his own hype. If the cardio is fixable, I assume he’s done all he can to fix it. He therefore deserves to be the favourite, but I won’t be betting on it.
How I line this fight: Raul Rosas Jr -200 (67%), Ricky Turcios +200 (33%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: I was originally going to bet the Over 2.5 rounds, but I’ll pass on that now.

~Eduarda Moura v Denise Gomes~
Eduarda Moura’s UFC debut did not impress me at all. I didn’t bother researching her regional footage, and from what I saw in that debut she’s a size/weight bully that isn’t even that amazing at what she does. Yes she outgrappled and mauled that Mexican woman, but the size difference was comical and she couldn’t have found an easier opponent to beat if she tried.
I had one of my best bets of 2023 on Denise Gomes’ last fight against Angela Hill (big up Angie for winning a couple of weeks ago, she’s such a money train for me), opting to fade the scary finishing ability of a WMMA fighter for a more technical and historically durable veteran on the return. Not only did Angie school her, she even managed to mix in some grappling to make the win even more stylish. That gets the alarm bells ringing here, as Moura’s MO is definitely to grapple, and Angie’s no grappler. It's a huge piece of the puzzle to figuring out this fight.
I don’t have a strong opinion on this one, because both women give me very strong fraud vibes. I think Moura is absolutely going to be one to fade in the future, and Gomes has already been faded in the past. Personally I don’t think the equally limited Denise Gomes is the woman to give Moura her first L, because stylistically this looks like a tricky fight for her. Fingers crossed Moura wins and the fade opportunity is live next time.
EDIT: Since writing that, the price on Moura appears to have gotten a bit better. I wouldn't be able to resist the value if Moura moved down to -137, because WMMA grapplers are usually reliable when finishes on the feet are less likely. I don't feel great about it, but I'd have to play Moura for a unit if she was -137.
How I line this fight: No idea how much by, but Moura should be favoured.
Bet or pass: Pass, unless Moura becomes -137
Prop leans: None

~Puja Tomar v Rayanne Amanda (dos Santos)~
Some people believe in the narrative that you should try and fade Indian fighters. That worked pretty well last time Jeka Sarragih fought!
I bet on Rayanne dos Santos in her UFC debut, and she lost a split to an inexperienced opponent with bad cardio. I was impressed with her striking in Invicta, but she struggled to do anything meaningful stuff in that UFC debut. By the looks of the early line I’m seeing, she’s about -180 here. Who the hell is going to bet that!?
I obviously know nothing about Puja, but her record shows she’s fought two serious opponents. You know I love WMMA more than anyone else, but I have absolutely no interest in doing tape for this one. Pass.
How I line this fight: No idea

~Cody Stamann v Taylor Lapilus~
Very disappointed by the betting line here. When a fight like this gets announced, I immediately get excited because I think there’s a chance the books might get caught out and give a very bettable price on a fight that seems close on paper, but should be quite one-sided in reality, due to the stylistics.
Taylor Lapilus deserves to be -200 here, maybe even steeper. Reason being, he’s great where Stamann is average, but he’s also good where Stamann is good. The Frenchman is a slick striker that should certainly be expected to land the more eye-catching shots, when compared to Stamann’s T-Rex boxing. He will enjoy a 9-inch reach advantage, and should just be able to hit and not get hit. Stamann barely has any power either, so even if he does land a punch for every two he absorbs, I doubt it’s going to do much to convince the judges to credit him as the round winner.
Cody Stamann has veered away from his wrestling roots in recent fights, but you’d think it would serve him well here, given the reach and technical disadvantage he will find himself at. Whilst this would be true against another opponent, Taylor Lapilus has a very good anti-grappling game. His takedown defence is good, but even when he does get floored he works hard and effectively to get back to his feet, or at the very least nullify his opponent. His most recent fight was an exception to that as Farid Basharat made light work of him…but that was a very impressive performance that I don’t think many could replicate.
So in summary, I think Stamann is going to be shut out here, and I don’t think he’s going to really be able to find success anywhere in this fight. He will either stand at distance and clearly get outstruck by the fighter with the better footwork that will keep him at range…or he attempts to wrestle and likely has little luck at finding any real success. At the very least, the success he does have probably won’t be enough to erase the striking deficit he’s already accrued.
On a more narrative based note, Stamann also appears to have regressed a fair bit in recent years. He was once a gatekeeper to the top 15, drawing with the likes of Song Yadong and even winning a round against Merab…but since then losing decisions to 37-year-old Douglas Silva de Andrade and winning questionable decisions against Luan Lacerda. I’d say this is a tricky fight for Stamann in his prime, but Cody’s trending downwards too.
As I said in the opening paragraph, I’m disappointed that the books didn’t offer a better price on Lapilus, and the fact that money instantly seems to be coming in on Lapilus shows that the odds aren't quite wide enough. I've moved in for 2u on the Frenchman at -188.
How I line this fight: Cody Stamann +225 (31%), Taylor Lapilus -225 (69%)
Bet or pass: 2u Taylor Lapilus to Win (-188)
Prop leans: None

~Brad Katona v Jesse Butler~
The less time spent talking about this one, the better. Brad Katona is possibly the least intimidating MMA fighter to have ever graced the UFC, both in the way he fights, and his demeanour. The former is more important, because he can sometimes struggle to win rounds because he’s outgunned most of the time. He needs to put on a perfect defensive display to win striking fights, because if he gets wobbled he probably can’t get the round back.
Jesse Butler is a can with about as much of a right to be on the UFC’s roster as I do. He has no striking ability, as seen in his 23 second KO MASSACRE at the hands of 40-year-old Jim Miller (one of my favourite KOs of 2023 that one, definitely recommend if you didn’t see it!). That lack of striking ability, both offensively and defensively, means that he is very unlikely to get the better of a good point fighter like Brad Katona. But everyone has a puncher’s chance.
Katona is nearly -600 here. Mostly justified, but also eye-wateringly steep at the exact same time when you consider Katona’s path to victory is almost exclusively by decision! Pass.
How I line this fight: Brad Katona -400 (80%), Jesse Butler +400 (20%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: Me to fall asleep watching this one (+200 or better)

~Ludovit Klein v Thiago Moises~
Two guys I have historically had a very tricky time analysing. I was high on Klein when he made his debut, then I turned my back on him after the losses to Trizano and Landwehr – and since then he’s been pulling off upsets and continuing to prove he was worth the hype he entered the UFC with. The dude has some of the best high kicks I’ve ever seen from a fighter.
Thiago Moises has always been credentialed and talented, but he’s failed to deliver on the promises his abilities make on paper. Moises is capable of taking fighters down and submitting them early, but it’s genuinely taken nine UFC fights for him to actually go out there and do that. And then he did it twice in a row (against Giagos and Melq Costa).
So I think that does a good job of explaining why I am going to be non-committal and just leave this fight alone. Klein is great when he’s on form, but he’s shown himself to be capable of dropping the ball in fights he really should win. He’s proven himself to be a guy that you back as an underdog, but avoid as a favourite. He’s barely either here, but he does have a minus next to his name.
Moises is also too inconsistent to trust either. I think there’s a chance that this could be a winnable fight for him, as his grappling will definitely be superior if he can force things to the floor. That sounds like a great opportunity for a +100 fighter…but Moises definitely won’t look that number if he decides to stand and trade – and his 1.64 takedowns landed per 15 minutes statistic is enough to assume he won’t.
The oddsmakers are right in lining this one close, because both men have very legitimate paths to victory with only a few small factors landing in their favour. I’d argue that Klein is the rightful favourite (and therefore my pick) due to all fights starting standing and Moises’ track record…but this is a close one.
How I line this fight: Ludovit Klein -125 (55%), Thiago Moises +125 (45%)
Bet or pass: Pass

~Charles Radtke v Carlos Prates~
If you’re a regular reader of my posts, you may know that historically I am someone who genuinely thinks Trevin Giles has some redeeming qualities. In fact, I claimed in his recent fight against Carlos Prates that the line was wide, and that Giles may be able to find a way to have some success. Having watched that fight back, I think I was justified to feel that way.
I liked what I saw from Prates on DWCS, with the way he mixed up volume, pressure and power…but ultimately that performance against Giles was a bit concerning. He definitely lost round one, and by the end of the fight he was outstruck almost two to one. Of course, he won via KO…but to expect a fighter to be bailed out by their raw power every time is a bit foolish.
Charles Radtke is ironically a fighter I’ve had nothing but bad things to say about. I slated his debut win against Mike Mathetha (the artist formally known as Blood Diamond), and tried to fade him when he faced Gilbert Urbina. Boy did he look great in that sophomore appearance, I was really impressed. His striking just seemed so tight, accurate and crisp, I couldn’t believe how easily he pieced up Urbina.
I’m obviously not super confident in my analysis here, simply due to the lack of tape we have on both guys…but I don’t really understand what we are supposed to have seen from Prates to justify a -200 pricetag? He was struggling against Giles, and had he not landed the precise punch that ended things…he could easily have lost that one! I get that he has a big size advantage…but Urbina was taller and Radtke approached the striking gameplan perfectly. He also has Belal Muhammad in his corner (or at least he did vs Urbina), who I rate as a pretty intelligent fighter.
This one feel like it could develop into a very competitive fight, and the finishing ability is strong on either side. Radtke has also shown a diverse game and an ability to mix in grappling when necessary, which could serve him well here. For those reasons, I’m happy to roll the dice on yet another underdog here, and back Charles Radtke for 1u at +150 or better. I’ll be waiting a little bit to see what the initial line movement does.
How I line this fight: Charles Radtke +100 (50%), Carlos Prates +100 (50%)
Bet or pass: 1u Charles Radtke to Win (+150 or better)
Prop leans: None

~Daniel Marcos v John Castaneda~
I’m quite high on Daniel Marcos. I just think he’s a really talented striker. I bet him heavily against Aoriqileng, and were it not for the unfortunate NC, I think that would have looked like a really smart bet (not the only time that’s even happened to me this year…thanks Piera Rodriguez). People still hate on him for potentially getting a robbery over Davey Grant…but Grant is a very tricky guy to look good against at the best of times. The likes of Jonathan Martinez, Adrian Yanez, and even Marlon Vera have all struggled to decisively beat Davey.
John Castaneda is certainly the more well-rounded martial artist here, as the way he’s mixed takedowns into his game has been really intelligent. He’s also shown much more dangerousness than Marcos, landing a knockdown in four of his six UFC performances, and even scoring a submission win over Miles Johns.
For as long as this one stays standing, I think it’s a close fight that’s hard to call. Whilst I give a slight minute winning edge to Marcos for his higher level of technicality to his striking, I think Castaneda’s power can be a great equaliser, as can his ability to mix in takedowns. I’ve not seen much of Marcos’ anti-grappling to believe he can fend off a takedown threat if Castaneda wants to force things there.
So yeah, a non-committal breakdown but I think this is a close fight to call. There certainly isn’t any betting value to a fight this close anyway. I’ll pick Castaneda and give him the slight edge on the betting line for his diversity and finishing upside.
How I line this fight: John Castaneda -125 (55%), Daniel Marcos +125 (45%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

~Andrea Lee v Montana De La Rosa~
It’s always tricky to navigate the fade when you see a fighter with a glaring deficiency that keeps taking losses. Andrea Lee is on a sharp downwards slope – she’s 35 years old, she cannot stop takedowns, and she’s got a 3-7 record in decisions in the UFC. Those are some pretty damning facts, but what’s worse is that Lee’s decline is really showing in her performances. I confidently bet Miranda Maverick against her at near pick’em due to her grappling superiority, but I was very surprised to see Maverick actually clearly outrstriking Lee across 15 minutes. That was a terrible look because Maverick’s striking really has never looked good. That should not have happened.
The reason I began by saying that it’s difficult fading a fighter in Lee’s position, is because there comes a time where the calibre of opponent clearly takes a downwards step. I’ve always been a big believer in Miranda Maverick, and I believe she’s top 10 in the division, so trusting her to feast on Andrea Lee’s carcass was easy. This time however, we’re being asked to trust Montana De La Rosa, a clearly inferior fighter, to do the same. Historically, Lee is certainly a cut above her, and Lee’s 30-27 victory over MDLR in 2019 demonstrated that perfectly.
Montana’s not bad bad, she’s just lacking in physicality to really be able to get her game going. She’s definitely a grappler, but a 31% takedown accuracy and poor top control means that she struggles to really find openings to do her best work...so she just kind of survives in fights if she can’t grapple you. Just looking through her UFC fights and it’s so obvious where her calibre lies…none of the girls she’s beaten apart from Ariane Lipski have been in the UFC for years, and even some of the names she’s beaten aren’t super elite either. And back when she fought Lipski, the Brazilian had some of the worst anti-grappling we’d seen in WMMA.
So this is clearly one of those fights where my predictions and probabilities for the fight weigh more on how either woman loses, as opposed to how they win. Right off the bat, that’s an awful premise to be considering a bet, so I can easily tell you this is one to avoid…and I haven’t even looked at the betting line yet.
Yep, Andrea lee sits around -130. I expected exactly that, as it’s a coin-toss as to which woman is inferior, but history is worth something and Lee does have a win over her opponent here. Andrea Lee is the pick because MDLR already landed five takedowns the first time and did fuck all with them. I think level of competition is worth something and this is too far of a step down for Lee, in my opinion. I was going to play Lee by Decision but I'm not a fan of the price, so I'll play her for 1u at -125.
How I line this fight: Andrea Lee -150 (60%), Montana De La Rosa +150 (40%)

Have fun!

In the late 90’s when the cracks in WCW’s foundation began to appear the young talent that jumped to WWE were rewarded and the talent that jumped earlier were treated better than the ones that waited until WCW was purchased. Let me show you…
1996: Mick Foley, Triple H, Kane and Austin who along with Rock and Undertaker were the cornerstones and biggest draws of Attitude Era.
1997: Jeff Jarrett. Disaster first year. Second year he was reinvented into the character that made him famous.
1998: Xpac. Like Jarrett, returning saved his career….until he ruined it with drugs.
1999: Big Show and Jericho. While both continued to be underutilized they were booked better than WCW.
2000: Radicalz. Benoit and Guerrero headlined Wrestlemania 2004. Saturn self destructed by shooting on a enhancement talent. Malenko retired. 50/50
2001: Of the 20 new guys from WCW only Booker T, Hurricane, Stacy and Torrie ever were treated well. That includes 6 young potential stars who were wasted in Mike Awesome, Sean OHaire, Chuck Palumbo, Mark Jindrak, Chris Kanyon and Buff Bagwell.
After 2001 only Hogan, Nash, Chavo and obviously Rey were allowed everything. There were great talents like Vampiro, Rick Steiner, The Wall, Tank Abbott, Stevie Ray, Mike Sanders and Kid Romeo who weren’t even given a chance.
Buff Bagwell could have signed with WWE in 2000. He actually got a huge pop when Vince mentioned his name on the final Nitro. Yet they never forgot about how Bagwell chose to resign with WCW over them and lied about him and ruined his rep. Just like they did with Chyna and CM Punk.
Bagwell was red hot in 1998-2001. He was more over than Jeff Jarrett who was a 4 time WCW champ. He had huge potential as a top upper mid card obnoxious heel.
MJF has an even higher ceiling than Bagwell. He’s viewed as The Miz but with better talking skills and more of a propensity to reach the casual fan.
History is repeating itself. The AEW talent who leave early before the promotion goes down are being rewarded by WWE. Cody Rhodes, Jade Carghill, William Regal, CM Punk and now Mark Henry and Ricky Starks might be the next to join. It was supposed to be MJF.
MJF might have made the biggest mistake of his life staying with AEW. There is nobody watching. His booking is terrible. He was the hottest star in wrestling in 2022. Now? He runs the risk of joining a huge club of what ifs.

Welcome to the Michael Porter Truther free agency preview for summer 2024.
There are 219 players who have options or contracts ending this summer. Given all indications from Booth/Malone/Kroenke, Denver is unlikely to make any large trades to their main rotation this summer, meaning we will mostly be looking for players on the margins. Vet minimums, forgotten players, ect to touch up the edge of the rotation. Even if we do something along the lines of trading Reggie and Zeke at the draft before KCP resigns, we will still be in this position. The following is under that assumption.
Here are the Nuggets free agents:

1. Caldwell-Pope, Kentavious (Player Option)- Hopefully we re-sign but likely will decline his option and hit FA
2. Jackson, Reggie (player option, likely opt in) - Trade Salary filler
3. Gillespie, Collin (Two-Way) - Played over Pickett all of last year and is the same age, so I have to assume CG is the main guy we want to keep out of the 2-way guys
4. Holiday, Justin- may look for a Jeff Green type contract after a decent playoff run. Why make 2 mil instead of 5-8?
5. Huff, Jay (Two-Way)
6. Jordan, DeAndre - May retire
7. Key, Braxton (Two-Way)
8. Cancar, Vlatko (team option) - Cheap and likely Denver will pick up that team option

How will we fill in any roster spots left by these guys? Let's look at the remaining 211 guys on the market.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
First, here are the players that I believe are clearly not options for us.
These are

• Young players hitting RFA where their team wants to keep them (Vukcevic/Emoni Bates)
• Players with a player option that is larger than what Denver could offer, leading to them opting in with their current teams (Richaun Holmes/Kevin Love)
• Players in demand who will get large contract offers that we can't come close to touching (Lebron/PG)
• Players with team options that will get exercised due to their great play on their current cheap deal (Alvarado/Mo Wagner)
• Players where outside circumstances make a move very unlikely (Thanasis/Morris Brothers).

Now we get into the actual meat and potatoes of Free Agency. Here are the "OK" options. If you're on this list it means maybe you could squeeze out a MLE somewhere and not be available, maybe the fit isn't great, but maybe they can play a role off the bench and work for us for regular season depth or be an 7th- 8th man in the playoffs.
THE MAYBE LIST

1. Bullock Jr., Reggie - Was a solid role player in Dallas for ages before getting exiled to Houston. Didn't play much behind their glut of youth but could be a Justin Holiday type player for us off the bench with higher upside as a shooter.
2. Burks, Alec - NYK might want him back after he played great on the Hospital Knicks team in the playoffs, but the old trade throw in showed he can still shoot, ball handle, and most importantly draw fouls at an NBA level even against playoff competition.
3. Covington, Robert - He's only here because he may be washed, but even 70% of Old ROCO would be a revelation for Denver. Can legitimately guard 1-5, shoots 34-38% from 3, passes well. A connecting player for any bench lineup and running Mike/AG/ROCO as the frontcourt for non-Jokic minutes would overwhelm most teams with length.
4. Crowder, Jae - The bucks might keep him after giving up 1000 second round picks for him, but the old dreadhead can still shoot well from each corner and play strong/physical defense. Could be a solid 3/4 to play with the AG at centeMPJ at PF bench lineups.
5. Dinwiddie, Spencer - I've never been high on Dinwiddie (Dinshittie???) but he is an NBA level PG who can space the floor, ball handle, draw fouls. I think he looks way better using his size against bench units that typically cannot defend a big guard like him successfully. If we give Jamal B2Bs off then he'd be fine. Might be available at the min after a terrible run with LA this season. What better way to rebuild your value than play with Jokic and shoot a bunch of open 3s?
6. Dunn, Kris - Unbelievably underrated player. He'd be a top choice if it wasn't likely Utah (or someone else) throws a bag of money at him. If he slips through the cracks, our bench PG problem is solved for a year. Great POA defense, ballhandling. Up to 36.5% from deep this last year. Would be in the playoff rotation for sure.
7. Garza, Luka - Unsure he's available at a min, but he's looked serviceable as a backup big when KAT was out with various injuries the last few years. Anytime Reid goes into the starting lineup and Garza mans the bench, he can be an offensive force. Could keep our heads above water in non-jokic minutes.
8. Hayward, Gordon - Injury prone, completely non factor in the playoffs for OKC. Both have tanked his demand... still might demand some money given he's a former borderline all star. But another guy who could slip through the cracks given the new CBA scaring a lot of teams away from any contracts. Would be a nice secondary ballhandler, scorer, veteran presence for the bench. I think a young team will overpay to have him mentor their guys though.
9. Highsmith, Haywood - I don't love signing ex-miami role players because they generally win by trying harder than everyone else. But he shot 40% from 3 this season, defends well, and is a Rich Man's Justin Holiday replacement. Started 20 games this season for a Heat team riddled with injuries and looked solid in most of them. Don't think he's going to be available but I didn't think Bruce Brown would be available for the MLE two summers ago.
10. Horton-Tucker, Talen - The Jazz became infinitely better as soon as they benched THT for Dunn, not a huge fan of his game. That said, he can playmake, score, and defend better than Reggie Jackson. Turnover prone and not a playoff Rotation guy imo, but if the FO is really not loving Gillespie or Pickett, he could do in a pinch until the deadline/buyout market. Good potential, maybe just needs better team culture? Or it could just be low BBIQ.
11. Kornet, Luke -Solid bench big who can shoot, rebound and give Jokic a breather. Boston likely can't afford anything because of their contract situation exploding next year and he is an "unsexy" pick for backup big relative to Drummond. Would be a great get but we might get priced out of him if some team offers 2/17 or something of that nature.
12. Lowry, Kyle - The old train is still chugging. Would be a great bench PG, philly had him closing lineups in the playoffs. Defends, shoots, playmakes, flops at a high level. Old man could organize the young guns on the bench as well. Don't think he slips through the cracks and philly might well keep him, but I'd like to see us scoop him if possible.
13. Martin, KJ - Freak athlete, very solid defender. Got forgotten on the edge of philly's bench but would be a good CB replacement if KCP leaves and we have a CB sized hole in the bench. Pure energy, would work well with a bench that loves to get out and run in transition.
14. McDermott, Doug - Great shooter, terrible defender. Would be a regular season pickup but could space the floor well for CB and PWAT to attack the paint, and the other bench players could likely cover for his defensive weakness. Decent fit and will likely be available. Not a playoff rotation player though.
15. Okeke, Chuma - Lost in the Magic's glut of young wings, Chuma was a solid defender on a young magic team, and used to start a solid amount of games for them. Unfortunately his shooting fell off a cliff in minimal minutes last year. Was a near lottery pick for a reason, and Orlando just happened to get two stars that play his position. A shoot the moon type signing, unlikely to crack the playoff rotation but could refresh the youth on the team if we pull some trade that involves Strawther, Watson, Tyson, ect.
16. Payne, Cameron - Basically Reggie Jackson at this point. Only sign if we trade away reggie and CG and Pickett are terrible in Summer league. Solid shooter for the bench but thats it.
17. Prince, Taurean - Great corner shooter, plays good defense. Rich man's Justin Holiday. Think someone throws money at him after all the games he started for LAL this year but you never know.
18. Samanic, Luka- 6'11, can move well, allegedly used to be able to shoot but shot 20% from 3 this year (EUGH). Hit 33% in the G league and has been a solid rebounder since Euroleague. Spurs got him in the first years ago for the upside that just hasn't materialized. A last resort backup big, but a big body that can move and score 20 PPG in the G-league feels like maybe Jay Huff Eastern Euro edition.
19. Stevens, Lamar - Big, strong, went to Penn State which is always a plus for Booth. Very solid defender, the main thing keeping him from being an NBA commodity is an inability to crack 32% from 3. If he could get 30-32% again like he was in 2022-2023, it would be serviceable enough for someone with his defense and he'd be Pwat/Holiday insurance as an 8th man in the playoffs. Probably available for a min after ending up on the Memphis scrap heap this year.
20. Thompson, Tristan - Pros: would supply the guys with steroids. Imagine Mike with dwight howard shoulders? He'd be a post scorer in no time. Tristan at this point is mainly a big body and a guy who could fit in the DAJ role but be a little more mobile and playable during the season.
21. Banton, Dalano - Imagine a G-league quality, tanking team Lebron James. Watching him tank command the end of season blazers was something else, but he did hit 36% of his 3s, score 18 ppg, rebound and pass well for the last 20 games of the season. Wouldn't hate to pick up Jamal's countryman, but Portland is likely going to pick up the team option unless they explode their roster (very possible given Brogdon is still blocking Scoot and Ayton looked alive for the end of the season. who knows what they do).
22. Robinson-Earl, Jeremiah - Former 5 star villanova recruit, Solid rotation big for OKC for years. Ended up in New Orleans riding the Pellies bench behind Zion/Ingram/Nance/Valanciunas. If they don't pick up his team option (They are going to be making big moves this summer to move Ingram and maybe CJ Mccollum), JRE could be a cap casualty. Always a solid shooter, having a 6'8 guy who can hit 34% from 3s, rebound with strength, guard bigs is a nice piece. Would be a solid stand in for Vlatko if the FO decides to move on from our favorite Slovenian.
23. Waters III, Lindy- Knockdown shooter who has never really gotten a fair look in OKC. One of their infinite draft picks stuck on the bench behind their young core. If they don't pick up his team option and look for upgrades, he'd be an interesting guy to give some run and see what he can do. Shot 44% from deep two different seasons in college, born in Boulder, 6'7 in shoes. Would be excited to see him as bench SG if CB moves into the starting lineup.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If you're still here, Congrats. You have made it to the good stuff. This is the list of guys I would be happy to have added to the Nuggets, and have a decent-high chance of being available for the right price.
THE CREAM OF THE CROP

1. Bitadze, Goga - I am Googoo for Goga puffs. Hopefully no one noticed, but while WCJ was out for a lot of the early season, Goga filled in seamlessly for the Magic. Accumulates tons of blocks, Offensive boards, able to finish around the rim with ease. Just keep him from shooting 3s. The best hooper from Georgia might be available on a cheap deal this summer as Orlando will prioritize outside shooting over size and WCJ/Mo Wagner appear to have locked up the 1/2 spots at center. Would love to see Goga in Denver, he could be a playoff caliber backup big from everything I've seen.
2. Drummond, Andre - The rebound king is a UFA. Many have mentioned him here, but Drummond always fills in well on any team as a backup big despite his shooting woes due to his control of the glass and defensive capabilities. His weakness has always been he is a legend in his mind, and thus tries things he has no business attempting. Head scratching euro-steps, behind the back transition dribbles out of bounds, contested floaters off the shot clock? All on the table. If Malone can bully him into playing a role, he would be a great pickup. The premier backup big available this summer.
3. Duke Jr., David (Two-Way) - The Klan chief is more of a depth pickup, but the all 1st team G-league player in 2023 has improved his outside shooting to 37% and maintains his slashing and defensive capabilities he showcased at Providence. Another guy that would be more of a depth/Two way pickup if we have to package some young guys to get off the zeke+Reggie contracts, but Duke has grown every year and looks like he could peak as a 6'5 3+D guard with bench lineups. Seems like a great long term investment if San Antonio uses their two way spots on this years picks.
4. Fultz, Markelle - Another odd man out in Orlando, Fultz still can't shoot 3s after his phantom shoulder issues... but has become a solid defender and midrange scorer as well as a fantastic POA defender off the bench. Always a playmaker, he could unlock Watson and Braun as a distributor as well as turn the switching bench defense into an iron curtain. Orlando has committed to Cole Anthony long term, loves Suggs, and just drafted Anthony Black. No one needs 4 PGs. If Fultz falls to the Nuggets, bench spacing would be an issue, but we would have an identity of defense and running in transition. Not sure who else is going to bid up for his services.
5. Goodwin, Jordan (Two-Way) - Goodwin first came onto my radar while watching him in DC as their backup guard in 22-23. He was an energy monster, getting steal after steal as a POA defender and diving all over the court. A poor man's Caruso/Kris Dunn, he is in the low 30s from 3 but is a willing passer and extremely strong defender. One of the better guard rebounders around, he was averaging 8(!!!) boards a game once he started getting minutes in Memphis end of season, which would be a huge help to the undersized bench unit. The only reason he isn't still in DC is Beal knew him from St Louis and demanded Goody be traded to Phoenix with him. Phx was signing a bunch of veterans to try to compete (lol) and Goodwin was a roster cut. Would be a great time to pick him up once Memphis makes some cuts as their 100 injuries this year heal. "We have Alex Caruso at home" type of player but I would love to see the havoc he could wreak at altitude.
6. Harris, Gary - Come home Gary. After getting 24 minutes per game in Orlando's rotation this past year, Gary might not be in high demand as his 3pt efficiency tumbled from 43% down to 37%. Injuries, as always, remain an issue, but Gary wouldn't be available for cheap if he was always healthy. As Orlando is one of the few teams with cap space focused on the big names this summer, they might not re-sign the UFA if they throw a bag of cash at PG/Klay/ect. They also drafted two guards last summer and likely want to see what the young guns can do.
7. Holiday, Aaron - Why not get another Holiday brother? The youngest Holiday managed to sneak into Houston's rotation this year, shooting 39% from deep and 92% from the line. The sharpshooting guard is solid on defense and would likely be an expensive bench piece or starter if God had made him 6'4 instead of 6'0. While undersized, Aaron would be a perfect second unit ballhandler and spacer, opening up the court for Denver's young wings to attack the rim.
8. Jackson, Quenton (Two-Way)- Athletic Freak. More of a depth pickup if we have to package Strawther or Watson to get off the Nnaji contract. A massive 6'5 PG with 40+ inches of bounce, Jackson flies around the court throwing dimes and outpacing teams. Would thrive at altitude and be a great distributor for all the young shooters Denver has drafted. Just don't ask him to take jumpshots. Would become the second best dunker after AG the moment he stepped in the building though.
9. Len, Alex - Massive body, great rebounder, has been running his ass off in Sacramento for two years backing up Sabonis. Don't think many teams are vying for his services and he would be a body to take some strain off Jokic against bad teams and in blowouts. Perfect vet min backup big.
10. Mamukelashvili, Sandro - Sandro Character Limit would be one of my top 3 picks on this list but he is an RFA and the spurs look like they might want to keep him and match any other offers. Big Mamu is a 6'11 tank that shoots 33% from deep for his career and battles for boards like his life depends on it. Would be a great 4/5 for depth if SA decides to spend some of their cap this summer to build around Wemby and still avoid luxury tax.
11. Morris, Monte - Needs no explanation. Come home. After being tossed around the league the last two years, Monte could likely be had for a vet min.
12. Plumlee, Mason - Mason is a known commodity in Denver, always able to run well, pass well, and rim protect. As long as he's not on the perimeter at the end of games (KMS), Money Mase would be a solid backup center to give Jokic some more time chilling on the bench. I imagine
13. Saric, Dario - Currently finishing a one year deal with GSW, Super Dario would bring great passing, size and shooting off the bench. A 37% 3 point shooter with slick passing and playoff experience from Philly and Phoenix, Dario would be an offensive weapon off the bench surrounded by athletic wings. Would really elevate what we could do offensively given he can space for the young wings and distribute the ball well from the mid and low post. One of my 3 top big men signing possibilities for us.
14. Smith Jr., Dennis - Athletic Freak and ball of energy, DSJ has had a resurgence since leaving Dallas and Detroit. A career 30% 3 point shooter, DSJ is best used as a penetrate and kick energy weapon off the bench. After having his most efficient season ever (low bar to be fair), he is looking like a solid playmaker and court general for bench units. He can be had for cheap and would be a clear upgrade over Reggie at Backup PG. Also he hates Dallas, and goes 110% against them every game. Given how the West looks right now, that could come in handy.
15. Theis, Daniel - Another Clippers backup big, Thies anchored the German defense that won the FIBA World Cup last summer. He shoots 35% from 3, is switchable on defense at a mobile 6'8 250, and would be another solid backup big signing for the Nuggets. Played in 40+ playoff games with Boston and was a rotation player in all of them, so he's prepared and experienced in the Postseason.
16. Tillman, Xavier - The ex-Grizzly filled in admirably last postseason after Brandon Clarke and Steven Adams both got season ending injuries in the final month of the season. He had a 22-13 game against AD to win the Grizzlies a playoff game (what backup big on Denver is capable of this??) and has been a solid bench big his entire career. Boston traded for him at the break for KP insurance and it wouldn't be a terrible idea to pick up Tillman on a minimum as a 2nd/3rd string big. Mobile at 6'8 250, he would be a solid fit with our "Guard and Run" style bench.
17. Walker IV, Lonnie- Lonnie won the Lakers a playoff game over Golden State just last year and everyone forgot because they hit the Denver buzzsaw next round. On a 1 year minimum in Brooklyn, Lonnie put together a solid season off the bench. 38% from 3, decent defense, explosive athleticism, Lonnie could be a ballhandler and spacer on the second unit.
18. Wright, Delon - I have loved Delon's game for years. He is perpetually undervalued. Massive guard with great POA defense and decent shooting, he can slot into any lineup Denver runs. He can bring the ball up, shoot reliably, and playmake without turning the ball over. Defending the other teams best guard in almost every stop he's been at, the 6'5 PG has been one of the top guards in the NBA at steals rates at every stop. At 35% from 3, delon also can't be left alone on the perimeter and would slot into the backup point guard spot with ease. The only issue is injuries, but he wouldn't be searching for vet min deals if he was healthy all the time. He got his last big contract with DC two years ago, and I think he could be had on a 1 year deal if he slips through the cracks. Top 3 option for me.
19. Fournier, Evan -Don't Google was a sharpshooter and scorer with value at every stop in the NBA before a disastrous stint in his second season in New York. After being a 40% 3 point shooter with decent defense scoring 15-20 a game, Fournier got buried on the bench in New York behind Josh Hart and Quentin Grimes and never resurfaced. He got exiled to Detroit in the middle of last year and played terribly. Every time the French national team plays, Fournier shows himself to be a quality player, so Olympic success this summer could sink hopes of getting him for cheap. If not though... a solid scorer and reliable volume shooter off the bench is just what Denver needs.
20. Green, Jeff - The return of Uncle Jeff is very possible if Houston doesn't pick up his 8 Million team option this summer. Not sure about their long term plans but if they extend Jalen Green and Sengun this summer, Uncle Jeff could be on his way out of Houston. Why not return to the only place he's won out of his myriad stops?

If you're counting, there's one FA left unaccounted for. This guy has the same upside as Wemby and there will be a feeding frenzy for his services this summer as the potential best player in the league, so he gets his own category.
