I’ll say this- the last pick in a pairs draft is very often a painful exercise.

By that point pools are depleted and needs are usually pretty specific.

Still enjoy pair drafts overall- just less so the last part.

I regret not taking Marc Gasol alongside KG in round 1. EJ is generally more valuable than a defensive center at that stage but I could have rolled with Bucks Ray Allen in round 2 and gotten a point guard later. I don’t dislike my team but it could have been better.

I enjoyed this one. Was a little anxious at the end of round 2 (as I often am), but there was enough talent in the pool to pivot. A bunch of interesting teams.

I was scrolling down through team after team trying to find someone in the last round.
