Yikes. Figured I'd be okay until Porter and Kidd were paired.

Kobe doesn't really need pointguard, never did in real life so I think you are safe

Yeah, plus Hakeem is an iso-heavy guy. He can work with a point guard but is more than capable of creating his own offense. I guess given how badly the point guard pool got drained I'm glad I didn't take David Robinson- that pick would have been more dependent on landing a good playmaker.

Hindsight being 20/20, I think I would have personally preferred Magic/Wemby in R1 followed by Klay/Kings SF in R2. Would have been highly entertaining at the very least.

(Magic/Wemby was the primary other pairing I had in mind in R1)

I waffled endlessly on this one but ultimately decided I really wanted my third option to be a flat out knock ‘em down shooter.

We’ll see if I regret it.

Trying to find the right pairing for Clyde was annoying. Was really looking for a forward, but had to just go BPA with KCP.

I like my lineup so far.

Luka and Shaq should form as tough a duo as anyone and they are surrounded by excellent defenders who are all capable 3point shooters.

Almost took Gasol but preferred the combo of Mutombo Pippen

I just knew no one was gonna take Kemp because he almost never gets drafted in these games, lol.

Not really sure if I have enough offensive firepower. I started to take Nash's P&R partner in Phoenix, but you guys seem to hate him, especially on defense :lol:

Honestly I’m a bit rudderless with my last pick.

Probably the best shooting team I have ever had with everyone being great or decent threepoint shooter outside of Draymond

Man these frontcourt options are looking grim.
