And the LeBron slayer himself, Chef Curry, isn't in the draft.

I need to make a list but this looks like a deep draft in terms of top-end talent, which means we'll eat well at the bottom.

Is the man himself eligible to be drafted in this or not?

Strong Lebron draft, though talent will suffer by end of Rd 2.

I think we do after trying a small simulation, for 10 participants. Can reduce to 80s and it'll also work, but going earlier adds just about 4 players.

Open to hear more opinions after others explore the pool.


In please.

I'd strongly urge 80s and forward.

I saw something of a drop after six and the first five picks were all part of that six. Guess I can't complain about my position. Should have someone pretty good to pair with Shaq.

Normally I like picking at the end, but this was a weird mix of players. Tatum seemed to be the best fit with Chuck, albeit rather pricey.
