For those of you who aren't in the US, just FYI today is Daylight Savings Day which means our clocks are set forward an hour. So right now it is 8:20 am EST as I post this, NOT 7:20 am EST. I know we have some non-US peeps who probably go off of time difference.

I am SHOCKED that Kareem fell that low. C is super weak in this pool.

Pippen Allen were my other option other than KAJ Bev

1. This is 1980 to now, so no Wilt.
2. You need to pick 2 pairings, or 4 total players.

I know it's early, but DB is going to be tough to beat. As I said I'm shocked Kareem fell so low as this is one of the shallowest C drafts I can remember. And now to pair him with Kobe? Oof.

Kobe should have been a first rounder, especially since he could have been paired with a really good and cheap PF.

Declaring someone the early winner in these is almost a kiss of death.

I like the trio of Allen, Pippen and AD but I feel in most matchups I will not have the best player. If any.durantbird wrote:Pippen Allen were my other option other than KAJ Bev

I'm saying it more based on how the board has played out with DB getting IMO two massive drops in Kareem and Kobe, moreso than Kareem+Kobe being an unstoppable duo in and of itself.

I only like the expensive version of that PF.
You are up.
SGA/EJ/Kawhi/Gobert should be a strong core here.
