Re: Put Them Over the Top Draft- Discussion Thread
When considering KD I was inclined to pair him with a pre-peak, less expensive point guard. He was really good at that point and a lot cheaper. Westbrook isn't generally popular in these but the run he had with KD should help sell him.
I expected the Boston and Clipper cores to go higher, but there's a case for all who went before.

I considered the Clippers but I consider Boston's core to have a very weak #1 and think Jaylen Brown is overrated.

Sure, why not? Never made the all-NBA 1st team.
Was on the fence between him and Pierce with my pick. Both are bargains in terms of FGA.

I had him as the best Wild Card. I was confused why he was still there.

Going all in on the SSOL philosophy. D'Antoni would be proud.

Re: Put Them Over the Top Draft- Discussion Thread
One of the weaknesses of my approach is that I tend to value flexibility over all else. Sometimes there's nothing better than just having one REALLY GOOD option.
That said, there are still cores I considered with my first rounder available, so maybe it's all good.

Not eligible. Wildcard can’t have ever made an All NBA First team.
Otherwise he’d have been pick one pretty easily.

We have to select specific seasons for all players and post them in the roster thread.

No need to do it now though. You can do it after finalizing your roster.

Yeah you use the FGA of each player and the sum of FGA has to be <= 88

Ibaka has been selected as part of an OKC core.
