Only need 42 for the next 7 guys, meaning 6 per guy. Initially, it’s 8 per guy, which is quite a bit harder

Wade and Kobe pairing :o

Has that ever been done before?

Up.

Hornets all in on the wings. Will be a challenge to build the rest of that team.

Snakebites wrote:In terms of general draft comments- I'll say this:

I thought KG would go higher. Like, I’d have taken him as high as 4 or 5 even. Most of the big rebounders present a conundrum- you need good rebounders at other spots too, but spacing becomes a concern since the big rebounders are usually not good shooters. KG is a stretch big who's also a great rebounder and can therefore potentially be paired with another great rebounder without compromising fit.

That's huge.

The Pippen pick just made my pick easier

Hill pick might be seen as a reach. Love his peak year at 9 rebounds per game, and the potential to use him as the main ball handler in an unconventional lineup.

Sorry Ness. I thought I might be screwing you there.

Hill is pretty valuable here. I’d have been surprised to see him reach you even if I’d gone another way.

There’s another player I really live who I haven’t used much who I wanted to take, but Hill just made too much sense especially given I can even use him as a point guard if things get tight.

There are lots of MVPs still on the board, but two in particular stand out. One is a center who doesn't have a great FGA to RPG ratio, and the other is a PG with an even worse ratio, but again he should theoretically have the fewest on the team anyways. Tons of other options too. There's one PG who stands out for his high RPG numbers for his position. I am interested to see where all these guys get taken!

I realize the rebounding angle, but I'm still shocked those two have slid this far.
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

In fairness, I once won non-rebounding themed game after taking Robinson over the center you speak of.

You know what’s not going to be a thing in this game? Small ball lineups.

I have no issue with DRob over him, just that he's still available at all.

I don’t think either of those guys will get by me if they continue to drop - to tempting - and I won’t want them to fall into the top picks teams

Man I wanted Wade or Kobe but Hornetsfan decided to throw us for a loop again haha.

Couldn't resist Curry/Duncan. Easily the best pairing I've ever had.
