Might regret this as there are players available that I like better but I want a wing who fits well with Kyrie. I'll take nic Batum

Marc Gasol. Love his defense and his fit with bron, although I am passing on a superior player

I really wanted to pair the Gasol brothers but Timmaytime had to ruin that fun.

I'm going to take Rudy Gobert. I feel like defense might be at a premium on this one.

I'll go with Dikembe Mutombo. Can somebody please quote (for what should be the last time in a while)?

I don't feel great about this pick at all, but I guess it will have to do

Really torn between two players. If I had made this pick an hour ago, it probably would have been the other. But this guy seems like the BPA and I know there will be some big men to battle in this.

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I feel better about this pick than I probably should, but we shall see.

Sarunas Marciulionis

Hall of Famer in round 3? Yes please.

First European to really make a big impact during the first wave of European players. Great all round offensive player.

I'll take Carlos Boozer. Very pleased to snag an All NBA level guy in the 3rd. Looks like Deng or Peja are going to have to play small.
