Didn’t word that well.

I meant Lebron is getting a comparable second banana to the one Wade got in this game.

Ah OK. I do agree Mobley had a monster year though. He should be in the mix for All-NBA First Team IMO.

Yeah I figured I needed a bit more forward thinking to stand a chance in this one.

Hopefully he will do well in the playoffs

A bit early for OG normally, but defensive wings with size and strength are super scarce in this pool, and there are plenty of guys who require them (LeBron, Kawhi, Luka, Giannis, Butler). There were a couple of options it hurt me to pass on though.

We've got recreations of a lot of combinations that existed in real life.

Giannis/Middleton/Brook
Lebron/Kyrie/Love
Kawhi/Lowry

Not sure what this says about this pool. Probably not anything positive though. Folks say they want more restrictive pools (and I've been on board with that) but to me that's an indication that this pool has limited creativity.

I like getting Kirilenko and Battier to complete Jokic and Mitchell defensively. Not All Star Kirilenko or Houston Battier, but still very good versions of them in my view, that I like to use.

Wonder how Mitchell will be perceived in his 25' season. Yeah Mobley might be their defensive anchor, but Mitchell is Cavs' offensive centerpiece. Both had huge part of their success this year, I hope they do well in the playoffs as well. Mitchell might actually be All NBA First this season.

Add another to the real life combination for me.
