I had Dwight/Shard as a secondary option for my second rounders.

The fit was never right though.

Just was not loving the conventional fit options around Giannis and wanted to go a little crazy

Think I can still salvage the fit if I can get my targets for round 3

Pre-2010s Toronto is a rather barren field...

Mo pete is a nice add though.
Not sure why he isnt picked more often, played defense and made threes. Seems like a receipe for being drafted to me.

He was solid, but players like him need to build more of a playoff rep to get drafted. Also a bit expensive for a non-elite 3-and-D type.

Of the remaining rotational spots of need, point guard spooked me the most.

So I took care of it at a reasonable price. Not having to find a starting or backup point guard with the last pick will remove headaches. Getting a perimeter guy who can play a lot of minutes at such a cheap price (Delon Wright) felt critical in a game like this where you sometimes have to go for more expensive options.

Need votes in the finals of the previous game

Im a little worried about it honestly, but worst case scenarion I guess I just just plan on Jordan and Butler taking turns being PG.

What do you mean by "preceding franchise"?

New Jersey Nets vs Brooklyn Nets for example

Up DB

You’ll be fine. You don’t really need a particular point guard with Butler/Jordan.

I have someone in mind that I hope is there when I pick. I think it should work out fine if I can land him? At least I hope. lol.

2010 White Chocolate for 5.2 FGA hitting 38% from 3 could be taken in other games.
