Doubt Wack was going for Brunson and Ness literally can’t, but I didn’t feel like making a decision on my 8th man yet.

Well, now you must! Up!

Surprised theres no "came into the league with no facial hair but later developed one" category.

Worth a shot.

Almost took Markannen first waiting for either Chandler/Hartenstein/Camby. But figured there were slim chances another drafter saved enough FGAs for his last Cavs guy.

Given iamgine took Camby, I'm satisfied with my decision.

And there are like 5 other good Cavs sixth men in the price range still available, which makes the decision even more easy, in retrospect at least.

I need a draft with out the Knicks, Nets or Cavs

Could have easily used Cavs LeBron- wouldn’t have had to worry about it.

[durantbird]

Ok

Seems like you already picked by your roster, want to make it official?

I really thought MadNess will pivot to Cavs LeBron, Heat EJ and then use his 99' open spot

Yep. Heat EJ is more expensive but it opens up a lot more options.

Could have but Miami LeBron is best player by a lot

I think Cleveland Lebron is still the best player in this draft by a reasonable margin. 2016 is in the same price range and has what many consider the GOAT finals run.

The only real rub is the high cost of EJ's good Miami seasons. I almost took Miami EJ but decided to prioritize guys who can guard larger wing players more effectively- hence my selections of Bridges and Battier. I considered taking EJ AND Bridges but that would have stretched the budget a bit thin- I wanted a third elite offensive talent later on. The hope was Donovan Mitchell but he ended up paired with Jason Kidd. Brunson was a perfectly viable alternative though.
