Or 7

Guessing you’re aiming higher though.

Hope everyone is ready to become more educated on Warriors role players from 15+ years ago than you ever thought you’d need to be.

Now, that I've thought about it, I think I'll stay.

Good call.

I'm struck by how much deeper this pool is than the last one. Though there are some very appealing star duos towards the top.

Debated Jokic and Billups for sure. In the end, I like the centers who are left (or KG at center) and points moving forward… good match tho

Left Roddy with my options. Though I really hope I'm here to pick, pretty though to prioritize all the possible options that can come back to me right now.

Certainly a lot of players but I’m not sure it’s a big enough list for a draft?

Could add Jerry West run teams.

My top 3 were Kawhi/Gino, Lebron/EJ and Jokic/Billups.

KG/Butler belongs in that convo but I struggled to build around that duo when I picked them once. Doesn’t mean Ness will- different draft.

Michael Cooper too?


Jerry West ran those Lakers, so that wouldn’t add anything.

last game I went with a more 90's 2000s type team with more spacing.

This time the priority was spacing at the start.

Mullin and Curry should be a lethal duo offensively.
Almost went Durant and Ray.

There are going to be a couple of insane duos at the bottom of this.

Well my Magic teams always fail so I was never picking him.

He also doesn't have the best star options to pair with - there's one big who fits the bill but there are better options available.

I debated KD and Ray and KD and someone else for a while, but just too much FGA’s at the end of the day. I’m curious to see what you do with them!

Up Fade

Went pretty meat and potatoes here. Simple and very effective formula.

We’ll see if the approach pays off. I hope the Laker fans in the game appreciate the cross era Laker appeal.
