You're the boss, DB. since it's your draft - let me know if there is a round at which you would like for us to just pick and not wait for the drafter skipped before us (maybe post-3rd/4th?), or if you would prefer that we wait as much as possible. Whatever you say works for me

Clock starts today at 9am EDT. You can start skipping from then on

Luka is a steal there. Sheed that high is a surprise to me

Not usually a positive indicator when a guy you almost took at the start of round 2 gets taken at the end of it. But we'll see.

Luka/AD, LeBron/Nash, and SGA/Embiid seem like the best pairs so far, though I like Embiid more than most.

You meant Durant Nash

Luka/AD is the standout for me. Nothing wrong with Nash/KD but I need to see how the rest of that team ends up looking.

Nash/KD is awesome and inexpensive but I don’t think it has the synergy that Luka/AD does.

Defintely possible to close that gap given those two only cost about 28 FGA.

Was 2024 better than 2025?

It was. If you can afford it.

2025 was better

I think I agree, but he did play a bit differently..More threes and less rim attacking in his second year/

He was comfortably better in 2025.

Double up

I am sort of pleased with my available versatility.

I know that I can get bullied a bit, but I have loads of FGA and flexibility options available.

I can take any of a sg/sf or a pf with my last starter.

Got the best 2 players of the 7 seconds or less suns team from 2006 and added Bowen, Durant and Wemby to it.

Would be a fun team to watch irl.

That is an insane running team.

Jon has stockpiled a ton of talent - Ewing/KG/Iggy/Clyde/Dame - may be light on spacing and I don't know about the synergy, but quite a lineup.

Ewing was a steal in the fourth and there's another center I'm surprised to see is still on the board.
