Answers to the August 23 NBA Immaculate Grid

For Cell 1, Ryan Gomes, Kendrick Perkins, Dennis Schroder and Ray Allen are great fits. They all played for the OKC Thunder and the Boston Celtics. In Allen’s case, he was with the Seattle Supersonics before the team moved to Oklahoma. Allen later became a big part of the Celtics’ 2008 championship team together with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.

Carmelo Anthony is likely the popular answer for Cell 2. He was with the Thunder during the 2017-18 season and then played with the Portland Trail Blazers for two years. Enes Freedom, Rick Brunson, Raymond Felton, Detlef Schrempf and Kurt Thomas are also great options here.

Russell Westbrook is the easy answer for Cell 3. He had multiple seasons with 10+ RPG with the OKC Thunder. Shawn Kemp, Jack Sikma, Michael Cage and Spencer Haywood are also excellent options here.

Gordon Hayward, Kelly Olynyk, Jae Crowder, Al Jefferson, Joe Johnson and Jonas Jerebko are best fits for Cell 4. They had stints with the Boston Celtics and Utah Jazz.

Hassan Whiteside, Kris Dunn, Ronnie Price, Earl Watson and Sasha Pavlovic donned the Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers jerseys in their careers. Any of them would be great for Cell 5.

Rudy Gobert and Karl Malone are the obvious answers for Cell 6. They had multiple seasons averaging 10+ RPG while with the Utah Jazz. Carlos Boozer, Mark Eaton and Rick Kelley are superb options here.
