Don't get me wrong, Dudley is fine, but he's usually a guy you can pick in the 7th or 8th round. Him going that high doesn't give me hopes for what I'm going to find.

There are still many decent wings. I picked Dudley because of his low price. And I need another big for my starting lineup which I think I'll still find later. Usually I'd just pick my big by now but went a little different here

Was torn between Peja and Jalen Williams for my 3 spot in this one. I realized with relatively little moving around (and getting Delon Wright) that I could actually afford both.

Glad I found some gems. McMillan and Bogut are always nice bench player and Crowder is a good fit. Having Philly Hawkins, allstar type level also is a luxury.
