Just realised I needed a cheap option for Category 1.

I like my team but I don't know if I can win this against the competition. Jokic Davis Wade shouldn't have happened lol.

I was originally going to take DRob but since I was cooked anyway I thought Towns offensive lineup was more fun

I was tossing up between D Rob and Stockton. There were more bigs available than backup guards, so I went Stockton.

When I picked Malone, it was a real decision fork, because I considered both DRob, Dwight, Malone and Pierce

slightly surprised so many good players didn't get drafted like Harden, Dwight, David Robinson, Gobert and TMac. Probably more missing

I had a good look at T-Mac. He was too expensive. Other guys I considered were Bam, Oladipo, Caruso, Rashard Lewis.

I'll mention them now since they are not Cat 7, and Jon needs a cat 7.

Was between Caruso and Iguodala for that category, and I needed Iguodala more.

Like I said, the categories were probably a bit too inclusive for top-end talent. If I'd spent more time workshopping I would have made a couple of tweaks. (Things got more challenging in the later rounds.)

Going into last 2 picks, I had a few combinations I was targeting. I had the flexibility with categories, but I needed the Cat 5. I ultimately went with Chet / Bertans (Bertans qualifies for Cat 3, 4, 6), over a I-Hart / Rashard Lewis combo.

The later rounds were more fun, trying to figure out the combinations, hoping to not get sniped.
