Good pace so far, we might be able to finish before the opener.

Was thinking Jalen Williams and Mitchell before I went with Zion. To get them b2b is a steal here imo

Thinking the same thing. Wasn't going to take Mitchell alongside Brunson, but talent wise he should have gone earlier. Very heavily considered Jalen Williams in both the 3rd and the 4th.

Kyrie was my favorite option, with Mitchell and JDub being fallbacks. Happy to get him. Proven fit with LeBron and Luka who is similar to SGA. Like my offensive three

If Zion stays healthy I think he's the biggest steal. Was thinking about drafting him in third round but was afraid of having two injury prone players in Embiid and Zion

Was also highly considering Zion as the supercharged version of the Dunker's spot that Denver uses, however didn't particularly love the defensive frontcourt of Zion+Jokic.

The offense would have been crazy good. The defense would have been abysmal. :roll:

Didn't consider Zion cause he plays the same position with Giannis. Almost picked Kawhi in round 3 over George. Was about to pick him in round 4, but he went 1 pick ahead of mine. Wouldn't be surprised if he stays relatively healthy and makes the all-NBA teams. I think he's great value in round 4, especially since we have the option to drop one player mid season, plus 2 more prior to the rankings.

My thoughts exactly

Mobley seems like pretty good value, in a draft where Chet went first round it's plausible he could hang with him this year.

If Kawhi has 23-24 level season this would one probably be a wrap with Brunson/Kawhi/Jokic combo.
