Also, Bowen sliding so far surprised he. He had arrived as a defender and at least had a pulse from three.

Prime Billups is at least two jumps ahead of that last season in Minnesota. As long as you accept that, it's a solid fit in the same way old Conley is.

7.1 FGAs for that version of Bowen is pretty rough value.

I am very annoyed that nonone took the absolute best player from NBA live 2005.

Always interesting to see if Morant or Zion will be drafted in shallower drafts like this. Alas neither were.

Even in this kind of pool, I always find it hard to justify taking Zion at this stage of his career. His weaknesses make him too tricky to build around, and he has no playoff track record to show that it's even worth the effort at the highest levels.

There are simply too many better options as your primary ball handler.

Tremendous talent but he doesn’t fit well with most people who are picked in the first round of these, and isn’t good enough to be one of those guys.

I considered Chauncey but there just wasn’t enough value off the bench to justify him over Cassell.

It's got the first to 2 potential promotion rule, but it'll be better to wrap things up faster
