I'm awake now and see it's my turn, I'll pick later, reminding that the clock isn't on yet

Yeah I took a quick look and didn’t really feel that categories would impact the first couple of rounds.

Mind you that’s not why I didn’t sign up. Don’t have the time or availability for research or 2 hour clocks right now.

If a player was injured for a playoffs, thus missing the finals. Suppose later in his career, he made and won the finals. Would he be 1/1 in the finals?

I still have some options I try to decide between, I'm not sure I'll get to a conclusion soon, now I have more time to dig into it and the possible paths later on

My bad.

3rd round reversal is a good idea. Top picks typically carry more weight.

Wade falling to the team with Jokic and AD is even less optimal. :lol:

I thought about Wade instead of Embiid but the fit woulda been not great

I was worried when he didn't go earlier because he's not so easy to fit into an existing core, which meant he was likely to keep falling. He wouldn't make much sense on my team with Shai either.

If I remembered Wade, I would definitely take him in my second pick
