MVP season only like Shaq, Tmac (god season, not MVP season), etc. or is there another season that works? Like Jokic, KG, etc.?

I’ve had the dude a whopping 1 draft.

I use 2021 (2nd in MVP) and never got any negative comments. I should have pulled the trigger on those two, got some PTSD from Embiid sometimes not getting all the love.

21-22 or 20-21? He was second in MVP for both season. lol

Anyone else? lol

I don't see any reason to choose 22 over 21 unless you truly have no use for the FGA.

I do have a couple of ways to inflate my available FGA in this one- using 01 DRob (still All NBA) over 00, or of course using an earlier version of Bridges.

It’s hard to imagine anyone being left in the late fourth worthy of that though. As is I’ve got 11.5 FGA for a backup point guard and backup power forward.

2020-21 is pretty much the default these days.

There’s no way that super cheap and solid combo was making it all the way back to you.

Pair drafts are a lot of fun- until the fourth round.

Then it becomes oppressive.

I made the mistake of not having my backup center spot for the last pick.

It’s a lot harder when you do that.

I picked Mikal over DWhite/Roco and my life probably would have been easier if I hadn’t.

Crowder
Porzingis

Man you crushed me when you took Luka first.

I took KD/KCP with Luka/Gobert in mind for the next pick.
