Every time I built my big board 1-5 I would revisit someone and rethink my top 5 :lol:

My board is completely flat for like the top 10 or so

On pure game/talent, I have 1 guy as clear #1 (cause I project for star potential, ability to create off the dribble from anywhere), but I wouldn't take him near the top 5 most years, and he's not clear #1 on my board due to other issues.

Heading out to my daughter's Sweet 16 Birthday dinner in a bit. I'm going to step away from the trade board...whittled it down to 15 teams and 48 players/picks to go from the original set of PM's I got after opening the new league year. I haven't even opened the new PMs with additional trades yet and won't get to those until I get caught up with what is already in the inbox.

Before I head out for the night, I will shift gears to the draft and post pick #1. Teams can submit picks through the night and I will post as soon as I get a chance. All of the picks that are due to select tonight have been updated.

I don't think it's as bad as you're making it out to be on talent, but I do think the lack of an obvious top-end guy hurts this draft because there's so many "If X and X happens, they can be an all-star" but a lot of it won't happen, or can't happen if drafted to certain teams IRL. So a lot of factors with these guys.

The first one is on me but the last 2 are on everyone for letting mph keep Jokic and Curry :lol:

But really just have to give mph a ton of props for building so many assets and putting together a dope team.

For me I just couldn't keep both Jokic and Giannis and couldn't win with both either. I had Jokic/Giannis/Mikal/Derrick White/Jrue at one point and think I got swept or something. mph just had the best assets. Figured he would win that year but he kept making great moves to keep winning
