You know it's a tough draft when a Matt Bonner pick gets you annoyed. :-?

Not too many useful players available at that price range.

Honestly I had a list of about 5 Cs I was considering under 4 FGA when I picked

Not sure how far they could go, but at the very least I think the Luka + spacing/offensive talent lineup would be fun to watch.

First time drafting Towns in one of these. Davis made it a little easier but it still feels weird.

Bonner and Gortat were two of them, Andersen was another. Two more yet to be taken... I eliminated some others at that price point that weren't as good.

The front court rotation is amazing and I like that you filled out the rest with some nice shooting.

The only thing it’s missing is a classic distributor. Obviously you weren’t in a position to get a Steve Nash or a Jason Kidd but even a player like Pacer Mark Jackson would have done wonders for you.

I nearly went Millsap over Ibaka - ended up being swayed by the extra size you get with Ibaka plus the chemistry with Kawhi

Is it possible to post the playoff matchups before everybody is done with their roster page? I only ask because I'm gonna have spotty internet access tomorrow so I could at least do a little writeup beforehand and get somebody to post it for me

Ok, just hope I don't lose votes for not doing a writeup

Not a huge deal either way
