Distinct Drafts Draft - Discussion

[durantbird]

Okay.

It's wack's turn

[Fadeaway_J]

It's a refreshing change to build a team that could conceivably exist in real life.

[Snakebites]

Oh thank god undrafted guys count, the 3 and D pool was looking bleak without them.

Jeez the pool of role players has thinned out.

Hey, I’ll be able to make my own 8th round pick after all. Undecided about the two names I sent you. Thanks for your help!

There was another point guard I was surprised to see you weren't considering.

I more or less managed to build exactly the team I thought I'd be able to build when I drafted AD in round 1- I think I got all of the pieces I needed.

Not sure it'll be enough here. Lots of good teams.

[Snakebites]

In.

Time to pick your guy

[wackbone]

Ok I'll join

Who? I went through all my available drafts and can't find who you are referring to. No one left is going to take a high volume PG so it's safe to namedrop.

Was ready to take Bam in round 4. Opinions on a potential Bam-Jokic fit? Don't think I've seen them drafted together in our games.

I'd argue it's a perfect fit on defense, but reduces Bam to a cutter/screener on offense. Can't take advantage of his passing and ball handling alongside Jokic. I think Timelord offers that exact same package for 6.0 FGA instead of 11.0. Would have still taken Bam though for the star power.

Agreed it's great in defense. On offense I consider Bam a lot stronger with the ball in his hands which is also the case for Joker. Feels like a bit too much overlap on offense to justify the Bam pick but thats just my own view

[JimmyPlopper]

yup

Finish her off Larry

Bam is just generally an unusual offensive player to me. He has a number of different skills but nothing you can truly hang your hat on, and I think it leads to some inconsistency in the playoffs. I'm never quite sure how to get the best out of him on that end. I strongly considered him with the third pick, but Zu seemed like a cleaner fit as a roll man with Harden.

Prefer Trae's offense over him
