Re: Christmas Day 2024 Draft - Discussion
On edit, I think DC's clock was up about an hour ago but I'll give him some more time.

I considered this pairing in first pick
As it played out, I think I'd have been in better shape at Ness' spot. Kobe/Draymond is a great duo and will go well with some of the better pairs left.
Up. I hope DCasey shows up soon.
All good sorry guys had a thing to do, DB your pick went through?
Damn Madness got the combo I wanted lol.
Li WenWen is the GOAT

I'm picking at spot #1. My private message was whether you can wait for me before your third pick, so you can just go ahead and pick now your first two pairs.

Dirk/Butler was the second pick.

Up.
I feel immediate regret not playing the draft board more there. There was a wing I really wanted here but leaving two starters still to be chosen that late in the draft felt like a dubious choice. Plus center isn’t the deepest in this pool.
Brunson rarely gets much love in these but I think it’s time he did.

Pablo Prigioni. A pick I'm regretting. Rushed it on my way out the door after screwing up the prior.

Re: Christmas Day 2024 Draft - Discussion
I had doubts about taking DRob/Brunson- I needed a defensive center for my build but felt point guards would drop.
Billups/Nash going in one pick does a lot to alleviate that.
My original plan was actually Luka with a certain French center- I was assuming Duncan/Brunson would be a pick.
Of course I really regret being the nice guy and waiting for Laimbeer to repick. I could hav me had Duncan/Brunson but didn’t want to skip him even though the rules certainly would have allowed it.
