Yeah, this ABBAABAB thing is not really clear to me, sorry.

Well I'll make my choice. There are many good options on the board but I'll go with the one I think will fit very nicely next to LeBron. His spacing with LeBron will be highly valuable, and both their great passing ability will form an unstoppable offensive team.

In most formats I wouldn’t do this, but in this draft, f**k it

Well, the DRob pick makes my pick pretty straight forward.

Well, with the Drob and Walton picks this makes my pick pretty straight forward.

I'm upgrading Bobby Jones to Kevin Garnett.

I really wanted to pair Walton with Bird... however, one guy left did beat out Wilt, Jerry West, Bill Russell, etc. for most WS in the league - and the gap between him and the next best guy is big enough that I can't skip my MVP, unfortunately.

Feels like as high quality a 4th guy in this as I can hope for. Mikal Bridges

I could go the "talent" route here, but that would just make me hate this team even more.

Give me Derek Harper.

In my first pick, I'll go for a great defensive anchor and yet another great passer, somewhat of a Draymond archetype, who I think can work very nicely next to Jokic as a frontcourt. That's, of course, Wes Unseld.

In my next pick I'll take a player who I feel is one of the best offensive talents on the board. Someone who already had some legendary playoff performances, a proven Jokic companion and one who's shown lately he can be a great defensive guard.

Jamal Murray
