I'm circling around two guys right now but I cannot decide. Hoping that goober takes one and solves my decision making problem lol

Shaq and Dirk should be fun

Hasn't started for us yet, but it's warmer here and we don't get much changing of the seasons. Fall is my second favorite season after spring.

I count at least three.

There are a couple megastars hanging around - some not available to me because of previous picks. And one other? I decided it was too much of a spend while creating a structural vulnerability for me team. Jrue is being picked way too early in every normal sense, but its the UCLA category, and the way he fits with my team that I preferrred.

Whoever is last to use their consecutive 10 seasons pick will probably get a steal

Picking Shaq really restricts who I can build around as well

I think Fade is well positioned to get the player I was referring to unless someone else picks an awkward lineup

One thing about a lot of the major drops is that they're not the most straightforward to slot into an existing team. I passed on a couple of them because I wasn't sure I could find the right complementary pieces with the remaining categories. Also, the big man pool drops off dramatically if you don't have access to Category 6.
