I like the way my team has turned out so far. Will be interested to see if the guys I am targeting are still there for my picks.

This is a perfect case of liking your team until you look around and see who everyone else has drafted... :nonono:

Couldn't help myself with Domantas still on the board. His Dad was one of my favorites and the biggest what-if in NBA history...

Pre-injury, 80's Arvydas would have probably been the #1 pick with a guaranteed floor of #2 overall in this draft :)

Not loving the role player pool in this one. Guys like Dudley going in the 6th round is something of a red flag for the role player pool in general. Don't get me wrong, Dudley is fine, but he's usually a guy you can pick in the 7th or 8th round. Him going that high doesn't give me hopes for what I'm going to find.

Also, how do folks feel about Walton's MVP season vs his Finals MVP season? Do people see a substantial difference?

It's pretty deep at guard, the wings/forwards are the issue.

I'd just use the title year

There are still many decent wings. I picked Dudley because of his low price. And I need another big for my starting lineup which I think I'll still find later. Usually I'd just pick my big by now but went a little different here

That's my default when I pick him as a starter.
