Most people said for an ABBABABA draft (8 rounds) and the OP interpreted it as AB, BA, BA, BA (4 rounds).


I still do not know how many rounds we are doing. Originally I know it was 12, but is it 8 now?

it's still 12.
We might cut to 10, but it's something we'll decide ina few rounds.
8 is a bit short for an actual rotation, in my view.

Could someone quote Doc for me?
I somehow thought he was already gone...
Anyway, interested to see the fit with Steph and how you will complete the roster.

I believe 10 makes the most sense. I was just explaining where the confusion lies.

I really wanted to grab Mobley next round.

The absolute best fit next to Jokic. Already a top 10 [Top 5?] defender in the league.

this is one of the options I was seeing to put next to Jokic, very very interesting.
Jokic allows you to not go for a creator already in the second round.

Here are all the duos after the first couple of rounds:

  • Jokic - Evan Mobley
  • Steph - DeRozan
  • KD - Kyrie
  • Giannis - Beal
  • LeBron - Jarrett Allen
  • Luka - Jaylen Brown
  • Embiid - LaVine
  • Gobert - Booker
  • Butler - Jrue
  • Trae - Middleton
  • George - Bam
  • CP3 - Mitchell
  • KAT - Ja
  • Lillard - Draymond
  • Tatum - LaMelo
  • Harden - AD

Any team standing out thus far? I'll go first.

Talent-wise: Giannis-Beal, KD-Kyrie, Harden-AD

Best defensive duo: either Butler-Jrue or George-Bam.

Obviously, we are far too early into the draft. Everything can change in the next round(s).

Btw, if we are allowed to name our teams, I'm the Rethymno Cretan Kings. It's my hometown team based in the mediterranean island of Crete.

interesting how the Jazz and Suns core principles have been recreated, but switching Donovan and Booker.
The Warriors light is there with Dame instead of Steph.
One of Morey's plans wirh Embiid and Lavine.

I'm starting to get buyer's remorse on Trae. Should have gone with my original plan which was CP3.

The Trae-Middleton pair is not super clear to me, in terms of where to next.

How far is this from an actual ranking? Who's too high/low?

I think CP3 was the safer and more conventional pick while Trae is a bit more difficult as we haven't seen what a really good team looks like with him. He is unique in that he isn't exactly like Steve Nash because he scores more but he also isn't all the way to Harden [Houston Harden] in terms of monopolization...

The Phoenix Suns are going to have 4 players picked in the first 3 rounds.
