Ringer left me a pick but it was Adams. I hope he's available for his pick

Fade, who was the drafter that played Jon Barry 38 minutes after allocating all of his FGAs to 4 players? I want to say it was TonySnell

Ah yes, I remember TonySnell.

Wasn't a drafter who placed a lot of value on his bench. In his later days he would reserve just enough FGA to get a star 6th man, but then his last two bench players would usually be 3 FGA bigmen.

Snell's name was basically synonymous with bad benches tbh.

I'm not sure he would have ended up starting someone like Barry though, he normally had a loaded starting 5 and then fringe NBA players on the bench.

I was probably going down in flames either way so I regret not going with more fun team like Cheeks/Klay/Dominique/Davis/Porzingis over the when your plans are bust, you must consider Russ route.
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

Nah I think the Russ team works better.

I think that prime Russ is underrated in these games and can still have excellent impact if surrounded by the right players. Dr P - I think you did a nice job surrounding him.

I'm not sure that people will love the Melo pick, but I think he can be just devastating in a largely off-ball role (see the Olympics) and he also provides a kind of counter punch for the Nash centric offense in terms of his ability to isolate.

With Nash setting the table and Dwight's gravity as a roller, I think Melo is perfectly balanced as the third prong of a big 3.

Melo gets underrated here. I think this is a great fit for him. Handful of unconventional players, with good builds in this draft(Westbrook, and Melo included)
