No star type players left. Dried up fast.

I could have gone for Clippers Harden and all star Lakers C which would've been pretty talented combo at this stage, but I decided to take Thunder Harden, get Ingles and take my chances on centers.

Harden is such a nice pick this late. Love Thunder Harden.

I just couldn’t figure out a particularly good combo with with Gobert starting at center. Either became defensively vulnerable, lacked spacing, or just weak overall. Thought about using a Sonics stretch 4 here but he’s a bit costly.

I’ll be using sophomore Gobert as a high minute backup.

Love Zingis alongside the mobile and versatile Mason defensively. Mason is underutilized I think. He’s a legit 1-5 defender who can also do some playmaking. I think I’ve got a great two way group around SGA/Kawhi.

I couldn't quite make the math of White+Prigioni work considering my grand plan for round 4, but I thought hard about it

I'm surprised you didn't hear my sigh of relief when you passed on him in the previous round.

I liked him better than Horford for you in the last round.

Considered White as well but he’d be a luxury for me.

There's pretty much no chance he'd find a similar replacement for Horford though.

Even outside of Hornacek, there are still plenty of good options at SG.

Assuming one views Horford/Shaq as an optimal pair.

I was trying desperately at work to draft Mark Price + another player yet to be drafted, but the RealGM forgot password system is screwy :( It kept saying it sent a new one to my email but I never got one. I can sign in at home because my pw is saved on my laptop

I even texted JP but his time zone is 3 hours different so he didn't get it in time

What's wrong with it?
