Having steph and lebron makes team building hard. But 3 defenders who are good shooter/ finishers sure helps.

I really should have taken someone like J-Dub or Reaves with the second pick. Finding a proper #3 is a lot more challenging in this pool than a high-volume perimeter scorer.

I've been waiting patiently for Draymond and Batum to go back all the way to me, only for Laimbeer to take both of them right before me. Damn you Laimbeer lol

I was surprised to Draymond lasted as long as he did.

I had concocted a plan to get Brunson, but the fit seemed wonky for such an expensive backcourt. Might have been too conservative though.

I thought there was some chance you might grab him, felt obligated to secure him now. No one else seemed particularly likely, although we have some people who occasionally go in unexpected directions so not worth the risk.

Dr P's quartet looks pretty imposing. I was hoping he wouldn't get Porzingis to pair with Giannis.

So many options for my next pick.

Go big? Go small? Move AG to the bench? Have a good bench, have a great bench? Have no bench :lol:

There are many Brunson replacements though
