I didn't make a list for my next round - too many options considering this is a double pick.

Reminding the clock only starts tomorrow at 9am EDT.

Yeah it was between Gobert and Gasol for me. Think Gasol just fits a touch better as a high pivot guy next to Butler and PG, but I was really agonizing over this one

Was on the fence between Dirk and KD. Opted for the latter primarily because he's a better defender, although Dirk is considerably cheaper. Briefly considered sending you a trade proposal to swap picks. I was almost certain you were taking Dirk. Hopefully, you won't take my guy in round 2. :lol:

Was a Sprite commercial the inspiration for Colbini’s first two picks?

Lots of options left here though. lots.

Think the early Bridges pick worked out in the end. He fits in nicely as the third option behind Kawhi and Dame.

Yep. Hill was the big spokesperson for Sprite back in the mid-late 90s, so I guess it's a nostalgia thing.

I’ve always liked Pippen alongside Dirk and think this version of him is underrated.

This is the most progress I’ve ever seen in the first 24 hours of a draft before the clock was even on.
