I'm pretty sure Fade made a mistake and he wouldn't actually want to select the player who's #1 on his list. I'm not 100% sure whether he'd want to select his #2 choice either. I'll wait for him to announce the pick himself.

The combination of lack of low FGA players, guards, or perimeter defenders on a Dirk team make this a pretty complicated build for me even after seeing it coming and taking Ingles. The super big 2 teams definitely have a shot if at least one guy is gone.

Thanks. It's a little confusing when the only difference between two players is whether or not someone bothered to complete a specific field on Wikipedia. :lol:

I tried to modify Klay's wiki page but it's protected! :D

I wanted defense around Nash.

But I am going to roll straight offense now.


Hopefully my choices will be there, and I think they will cause I am guessing no one has the fga available fory choices as I am currently only at <40

In a pure rankings game I might have tried a MVP USA and lived with either the non shooting or non defending spanish PG, but I think Deng is pretty useful matchup player in this

Remember folks- African sounding names don’t necessarily say anything about a players nationality…

Well to be fair it is an actual African name of a guy who was born in Africa.

Hang on - Deng's nationality is listed as both British and South Sudanese on Wikipedia. That means I could have picked him earlier. :banghead:

Wait hold on.

Dude has dual citizenship in South Sudan per Wikipedia.

That pick is legit.

Somebody edited it.

Flaco sent me a screenshot showing him listed as British only when I left my list last night.

Raja Bell counts as a US player.

Deng counts as a eurpean (in case you wanted to draft an african player).

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to select Raja as an american. Not sure whether you'd be interested in Deng as a european. I'll wait for you to make the decision yourself.

How much can I trust this game if people are going to be editing wiki articles to change people's nationalities?

I had Deng on my list before, and decided against taking him because he was listed as British.
