I probably should've taken him over Manu if I remembered him instead of both of them but it was hard to turn down the value there.

Crap I messed up the rule about exactly 18 FGA being excluded and thought it was the other way around...

Was seriously considering 2012 George instead of Sheed with my 4th pick. Was leaning Sheed due to the proven synergy with Ben, but you made the decision for me.

2012 George costs 9.7 FGA. I'd argue he's a rich man's 2021 Mikal Bridges who was an early 3rd rounder. Young George was still raw offensively, but he was an elite defender. Basically a glorified 3+D wing. If you have FGA issues, I think that's the obvious solution.

With Manu and Nash as cheap starters I would think peak George can be slotted in. I'm shocked Nash lasted that long.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Plopper’s up, but DB was never quoted, even though he left a list, and Dr. P didn’t pick for him. We should wait a little bit right?

DB was quoted within Laimbeers post where he made his pick. I also quoted Dr. P who supposedly had his list.

I wasn’t here but it looks like durantbird’s role player list after Barkley got exhausted anyway.

There isn’t tons of 18 FGA C so I think I need to take cheap C and star wing
