I thought there was some chance you might grab him, felt obligated to secure him now. No one else seemed particularly likely, although we have some people who occasionally go in unexpected directions so not worth the risk.

There are many Brunson replacements though

None that are the same combination of overall skill level, 3 point shooting, and projected accolades.

The best remaining 3 point shooters aren't quite as skilled/won't get the same level of accolades.

The best remaining skill/accolade players aren't good 3 point shooters.

Yeah Brunson was comfortably the best PG remaining. I'd have him as a borderline top ten talent in this pool, although it makes sense he'd drop given position and FGA cost.

I think it’s better than it seems.

Caruso / Gobert is a very good 6th/7th man.

Tbh, a guy like Caruso going fourth round (as good as he is on a per-minute basis) speaks to the limitations of the bench options. Most people had to pick at least one sub among their first five picks. As it happens, I needed someone cheaper than Caruso anyway.
