I actually debated taking him with my last pick just cause he was still there, but I felt the need for a bigman with size who can space was a bigger need than Billups.

I forgot we could use the Pistons. :nonono:

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.

In retrospect, yeah I should have definitely waited with my SG and taken Billups. But retrospect analysis is always smarter.

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

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.

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.

I thought Allen and Miller fell too far. Would have preferred Miller because of the cost but knew he wasn't coming back. I was starting to wonder if everyone else ruled Allen out totally because of the cost.

Haven't put down a list, but if there isn't enough top-end talent for everybody, why do we start at 1999/2000? I mean, T-Mac is usually a late 2nd / early 3rd rounder (?) due to his high FGA cost. AD and George are excellent 2nd options. They aren't crafty enough scorers to build around them. Don't get me started on Dwight. :lol: Useful player for sure. I highly doubt you can win with him being your best player.
