Maybe I should go for a lower tier pick but I'll just go with the best player available.

His 19' season is one of the best offensive seasons of all time but rarely used as it's costly. Good opportunity to use it.

I don't see how you guard a trio like James Harden, Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo

The format makes him more draftable.

pretty boring picks but give me Chris Paul and Anthony Davis



up.

Grabbing a DPOY player who won it beside Dirk who fills the under 6fga slot, who is also exactly the type of Center that works really well with Luka as a lob threat rim runner seems right

Give me Tyson Chandler

Been racking my brain for 40+ minutes to try to figure out the best pair to take. So many combinations. Here's what I settled on:

Brook Lopez
PJ Tucker
