Magic/Reggie fits amazingly well and leaves a lot of room in FGA, Poop is in a good position

Would anyone have taken more than three all-stars with a 44 fga limit? Wondering if leaving that option would have created still more strategy, or if it's undoable.

Doesn't seem worth it unless you're starting with someone like Magic or Walton.

Probably would be more doable in a no-draft game where you could gather up the high value / low fga guys. Would be interesting to see the different paths.

Glad to get Ray Allen at this point. He fits great next to my bigs.

Not sure why he fell either, but him plus Kobe is pretty much all of Euro's FGA for his all-stars


I’ve got room for one more. 3.9 FGA left

This is better than I hoped for... I expected to take a second tier star/weak MVP

You know its 3rd year Mike Conley who was a mediocre shooter and couldn't fully fun an offense.

Interesting choice.

It’s actually sophomore Conley who is 2008-2009.

This weird timeline is throwing everyone off. Even after my Dirk snafu I was strongly considering Steph Curry in the second round. :roll:

Not as damaging with the restrictions though.

Was gonna go with a non-all star with my 3rd pick but I really like Kemp with my core and didn't want to risk him not making it back to me.

Depends. Most people are going to have strong benches with the limit on all-stars.

2nd year Conley is a decent bench PG, shot very well that year.

Deke was a critical get there with only 8 FGA to spend on a third star.

Alternative would have been going nuclear with 2009 Wade and 2006 Dirk, but I'm not sure that would have been enough.
