He was on my list for sure.

I’m glad I didn’t worry about blowing my Laker spot early. I correctly predicted the best Lakers would be taken before round 2 anyway.

Glad to get that Nuggets category out of the way, even more so with the archetypal MJ backcourt mate for RealGM drafts.

Could always use him as your 3rd overall pick too if ya end up thinking of another nuggets player later on. Can use billups pistons seasons then

Nah I used that category on MJ.

I don't see a material difference between the Detroit and Denver versions anyway. 2008-09 is probably his best playoffs.

Iguodala is a good pickup for that category.

I’ll add that pairing Magic with Luka might be the most Ness thing I’ve seen in these games.

I like my team but I could definitely have taken a simpler/safer route than this one.

Might be early for Prigioni but preferred to keep my flexibility for other categories than the Knicks

Is it worth reworking my roster to get 2014 Dwight?

Over 2013/2015? I feel like 2013 would be good enough too

I'm planning to use him for the bench category. I could also find a way to access any of those seasons, but it would take a lot of FGA gymnastics and it's probably not worth it.
