Is 4 too many? Especially when you get to do things like count Kobe on Hornets or Kawhi on Pacers.

Agreed! Supersized version of Iggy in some ways.

In some ways yes - but I would say he is way more offensively inclined and almost equally less defensively inclined compared to Iggy. In a game like this with so much talent, I think it calls for more offensive dynamism so good call IMO

Didn't realize the other Jazz guy was still available or else I would've considered that route.

Pistons are an interesting case in this.

Their most popular players in these weren’t drafted by them and their drafting in general has been so lackluster in the last 20 years.

Your GM was red-hot with the trades during that early-to-mid-2000s period.

I'm not even looking too hard at other teams right now - the whole draft is insanely loaded. :lol:

Any draft where it's possible to get CP/Kobe/Malone/Duncan on the same team is too deep.
