Ness, Lauri was already taken

If Zion stays healthy I think he's the biggest steal. Was thinking about drafting him in third round but was afraid of having two injury prone players in Embiid and Zion

Was also highly considering Zion as the supercharged version of the Dunker's spot that Denver uses, however didn't particularly love the defensive frontcourt of Zion+Jokic.

The offense would have been crazy good. The defense would have been abysmal.

Didn't consider Zion cause he plays the same position with Giannis. Almost picked Kawhi in round 3 over George. Was about to pick him in round 4, but he went 1 pick ahead of mine. Wouldn't be surprised if he stays relatively healthy and makes the all-NBA teams. I think he's great value in round 4, especially since we have the option to drop one player mid season, plus 2 more prior to the rankings.

In a vacuum, Sabonis is likely a top 5 Center in the league, yet he was still on the board in the 7th round. Makes sense though. It's rather challenging to fit him alongside multiple stars. Needs to be the offensive hub to maximize his effectiveness, plus he's a suspect defender playing at the most important defensive position.

Murray in round 7 was a steal! Would have taken him as insurance for Lillard.

I’d love to say I’m shocked no Piston has been picked yet.

But I’m not.

Are we the only team?
