I think he forgot about the timeframe although it's in the title. Seems like he needs to pick in a hurry usually.

Up!

Actually I think it was the Magic pick that jolted me back to the 1980s. :lol:

Heavily considered several MVP-level talents but as I said in my post I think that path is dead compared to other teams. So I will zag!

I really was hoping for duncan to fall.

But Garnett and Pierce at under 28 fga is an awesome start.

Loads of fga for round 3

There's one guy I thought would have made a killer pairing with Steph.

I also didn't particularly want to have both a PG and a C with my first two picks when those are the two deepest positions IMO. Yes in this draft every position is deep but still.
