No Recent Champions Draft - Discussion

Happy to add Herb Jones and Caruso here.

I can either start or bring Caruso off the bench, have loads of FGA left to add to roster.

I kind of like Caruso starting giving me monstrous defense and switchability all up and down the lineup and with him and Herb both over 40% from 3 it makes a great spacing pairing around SGA/Davis.

Agonised between three bigs for that pick. Still not sure if I made the right choice.

Good turn at that corner fellas! Maybe I’ll get to finish out my squad today :nod:

I see a few great centers in their twilight years around 10 FGA. They were still pretty good at that point and would represent a bigger offensive threat than the low FGA defensive centers we'll see.

I’ve never been more sure of anything. He fit amazingly with all 3 top picks.

Every now and then you get a drop that changes a draft. Here we are.

I never like to take players like him in round 2. Anyhow without Reggie I would've preferred also Gasol over him

What do you mean in the enlarged part? Don't get me wrong, I'm not implying you should have taken him. I'm just curious what you mean.

Really thought I was getting Shawn Marion. I thought he was the perfect last starter for my group and thought I could wait on him. That took me for a loop when he didn’t fall. I guess that’s why new blood is good in these. Adds a less predictable element.

Yeah KG’s Boston teammate is falling far.

Miller is cheap though, there’s value in that. Not as many other places to put those FGA though.

I still view 2000 Reggie as more or less comparable to the 90s though.

He is not in my plans but no way he falls past me if not snapped up by then

Not sure if I'm in the minority, but at the same price I consider Booker the better value. Thought Dr P would take him though.

The bottom teams all look crazy talented. Not sure why anyone thought the top picks were an advantage (I initially thought they might be). The 3 most talented teams (nevermind best, I haven’t really looked that close yet) are the bottom three.

The pool of point guards is so crazy in this one relative to other positions. I see guys I could have waited on until round 8 who would have been great. But then I look at what I could have done in terms of non-point guards earlier in the draft and am left unimpressed.
