Had I known a certain PG would be available in the 4th I wouldn’t have taken CP#3. But oh well. Team is shaping out alright so far

I think only 2 guys picking ahead of me might take the guy I have my eye on.

See what happens I guess.

Really surprised there's one player still on the board. Considered taking them in Round 2.

Almost took him second but Pau is much more credible as a #2 option. PG is pretty loaded compared to other positions as well.

My only worry was the lack of elite guard defenders so happy he fell to me.

The Wing defense is the #1 reason why I took Dwight with my first pick.

You're in a nice position honestly. Elite two-way center, elite wing creator, Love as All-NBA third option who can space the floor, and still plenty of good PGs available.

Perhaps this is the draft I can win a round. lol

Picking Chandler when you have a center in Bam and not letting me get Chandler really hurts.

Not gonna lie, blocking others from taking Chandler was part of my reasoning. Not a lot of reliable Cs left I don’t think.

I made a list the first day with 10-12 centers and they are all gone lol

Chandler is great because even if you use him for 20-24 minutes his FGA justifies it.

I've drafted Tim Hardaway a couple of times.

He never gets picked because he's quite expensive in a deep category that normally has a lot of cheaper star-caliber options.

In a shallower pool he's a good pick though.

Now DR P will pick my guy. 100%

Lowry going in the 4th in this pool is pretty crazy

Larry_Russell · Post #57 » by **Larry_Russell** » Tue May 10, 2022 7:02 pm

Interesting, Dr P didnt take my guy...

Will Colbinii?

Both Rice and Wallace were heavy considerations in Round 4. Decided to go the cheaper route
