Re: Build a Franchise (Season 7) Discussion thread
I was actually looking at a McConnell trade today (made an offer but the trade was already sent) and when I was looking at the rosters I stopped over the Nuggets roster thinking Hezi would love him.

As a simplification, KCP seems to be the guard version of DFS, and we know the SIM doesn't put much value on that archetype. I have a really hard time accurately evaluating that archetype, and I've had several of my own.
