Grats to all the drafters!
'
Kings got 13th pick - willing to discuss moving up or trading out, basically anything.

Cason/Castle are my young keepers, the rest I can discuss in trade talks. Looking for playoffs this upcoming season.

That was my first BAF draft. I was PISSED when you took Tyrell Terry. I talked myself into him being my Steph Curry :lol:

I remember you being super high on Terry. I wasn't but he was one of my 3 players that I had trades for lined up (Kira, OO, and Terry) were all drafted by other teams to be traded.

Wiseman was a monster in the SIM out of the gate and was purely a SIM pick (really was hoping Ant would fall to me at 3).

Hit on Hali, and Vassell has been a good player. I was hoping Patrick Williams and or Okoro would be better on offense and be that valuable 2-way wing that never materialized. Nesmith ended up being a good pick. RJ Hampton I thought could be a lotto ticket type and he just never really materialized into anything.

Like with any draft some hits and some misses. I would say picking Haliburton and then using him in the Bane trade and then using Bane in the Kessler trade was my best pick. But the assets I was able to acquire just from manipulated the draft basically put me in the position I am in today.

Any contender looking to add shooting in the offseason, I got Grayson Allen (103/2 after this season) and Malik Beasley (78/2) up for sale

Allen led BaF in 3pt% this year at 50.1% on 5 shots a game, Beasley was at 43% on 7 shots a game

Can be had for future draft capital, I have enough 1sts this year.
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis
VJ Edgecombe/Jrue Holiday
Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward
Kyle Filipowski/Collin Murray-Boyles
Alex Sarr/Clint Capela

Bench: Malcolm Brogdon/Hansen Yang/Rocco Zikarsky/RJ Luis Jr.
