Thanks for running this one. Quick clarifying question: because it wasn't otherwise specified, I'm going to assume that ABA Titles/Championships do not count - only NBA - is that correct?

Surprised the elite big men slid like this. There a bigger fish than Ewing still out there but I didn't think he was a great fit.
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

And many didn’t think he was a good fit. That’s why he’s fallen and generally falls.

Getting Marc in round 4 is a blessing. I almost took him in round 3.

If I have played I think I would've picked Moses in the second round depending on who I had in first round. Would've taken him in the double pick for Dr P. Crazy fall

Man Flaco played the long game pretty well there. Billups was a surprisingly conservative second rounder but he cleaned up in the next 2 rounds with great value picks.

Moses/Dirk was too bad defensively.

Ah, wouldn't have made the Caruso pick if I realized role players weren't subject to the rule, but I guess it's not the end of the world.

The Thunder Dan pick made me wonder too. He’s a fine player but defintely at a lot more of a premium if you thought non All Stars were subject to limitation.

My plan is actually working out. That's not to say anyone else will like it, but it will make me happy. It's rare that I don't have to drastically pivot in the middle of a draft.
