About time Jimmy got selected. I was expecting him to be a late 2nd / early 3rd rounder.

I forgot about Jimmy. Not that I would have taken him. Bad fit with Giannis, imo.

I like the fit of my quatro of guys so far.

3 great shooters around giannis, and very good defense at Point, and an elite defender on the wing.

I might have been able to wait with Mourning because most of the teams have a center but he was my favorite target at C, so just took him now

LR picks Delon Wright earlier and earlier each time.

I have to this time.

I need to max FGA room for a center.

LeBron, Barkley and Dame is an interesting trio. Probably the most talented big three along with Shaq, KG, and TMac.

My targets were McMillan or Barry, so this round stung. But I do like Mann and think he should be drafted more in these.

Feels like I've been floundering ever since I took Luka. Should have just gone with Dwight and kept my options open.

Lots of stacked front courts in this one.

Any opinions on '94 vs. '95 Shaq? Numbers and FGA are about the same, maybe slightly better regular season numbers in '94. Better accolades and much better playoffs in '95, but in my recollection had more to do with Penny growing and the Magic adding Grant then with any major change in Shaq himself.

I'd take 95 as he played better in the playoffs
