I misread Suggs' FGAs. It isn't mathematically possible for me to get under 88 fga with him.

I mean, in that case you have no choice but to replace him. Shame that takes Suggs off the board though.

I like my team.
Strong as **** bench, completely opposite to what I have been building, super balanced, imo, and elite defensively.

I'm sure it will all end in tears as usual, but considering the pool this is one of my best Luka teams. Perfect complementary star in AD, solid third and fourth options in J-Dub and Jrue, good spacing, good to elite defenders all across the roster.

After the draft, are we allowed drop a player and sign a new player? (assuming the FGA stays under 88)

I think it was Flaco a while back who mentioned that guys like Luka are better in shallower pools where it’s harder to stack 3-4 hall of Famers onto one team, and there’s more value in a clear team identity.
Makes sense, normally Luka’s rigid fit and high price makes it harder to stack multiple stars alongside him without having a wonky team, and based on how judging works in deep pools the team with fewer Hall of Famers loses 9 times out of 10.
This would qualify.

Anyone seeing Chet as a popular pick in future games? Great defense, effective three point shooter, switchable. 11.8 fga.

Also helps that this is a present-day player pool which suits a Luka team better.

Depends on the pool - his thin frame would be a problem against a lot of older bigs.

I was targeting Luka at #7 despite his high FGA cost for the reason you just mentioned. Didn't expect Embiid to be available though. Luka-AD spaming the spread PnR are unguardable. The fit is optimal, but Fade had to make compromises in terms of talent with his subsequent picks. Talent-wise, he may have been better off with a star wing and a rim runner at the 5. I mean, db drafted his starting Center in the 8th round and I think he has the best team in the draft. The Center position was very deep. Unless you got Jokic/Embiid (MVP-level bigs, game changers), I don't think it was worth it taking a Center that early.
Haliburton in round 3 was an absolute steal. I consider him a top 10 player in the league, plus he's relatively cheap at 15.8 FGA. Still hate myself for passing up on him. I was kinda worried about the fit with Butler. Both of them are at their best with the ball in their hands. Haliburton can certainly play off the ball, but I wouldn't maximize his passing ability anymore which is his biggest strength.

I consider AD a game-changer, especially defensively. (Possibly a hot take: I'd pretty much always take him over Embiid, especially when you factor in FGA cost.) Rim-running bigs tend to have so-so impact against a well-prepared team.
