I'd appreciate it if we ramp up the picking speed, it'll be easier for me to leave lists for only one round rather than two

Are we making rosters for today or for the 2000s?

I don't know if the more restricted drafts we do are all that accessible for new players.

Voters vote how they vote. I guess they'll look for modern tending structure by default

You can use up more of your two hours if you want to give him some time, but the clock is on so you're well within your rights to skip him.

But I didnt want nash for a 3rd straight draft

I'm excited to pair McGrady with Nash.

We never saw McGrady with an elite NBA player, let alone one of the GOAT offensive pieces ever in Steve Nash. Nash should be able to accentuate McGrady's strengths as an elite scorer and good secondary playmaker.

McGrady wasn't the same shooter Joe Johnson was, but both were supremely talented wings and McGrady is bigger, more talented and a better scorer and play finisher.

The cost was high, but Nash allowed me to "cheat" a bit in terms of cost. I'm definitely sacrificing future flexibility in this draft instead of going for a cheap option (I was tempted to take a cheap Center, but Center is relatively deep here while Wing is deep).

Didn't really see CP3-Dwight as a possible pairing for me but I'll take it.
