But the name of the city sure does.

I think it fits fine with the theme.

I intentionally used the phrasing "refer". Like Snake said, there's definitely a reference there

You wanna REALLY get into the weeds- "Washington" is a state, too. Just isn't anywhere near the city of Washington where the Wizards play. :lol:

BTW if it wasn't obvious, the game was inspired by the conference finals

yeah, but Chauncey is so good for the price.


I actually debated him with my 2nd pick just because he fits about any build.

Makes 3s, passes, defends at a high level, only 12fga.

It was between Bills and Stock for me. There’s still a handful of studs out there. Crazy. I should have waited on a PG.

Wings are decently deep too as long as you're willing to forgo defense.

I had a hard time with my first two picks because the guys I liked the most were all wings but it was a deep category.

It will be a challenge to win with a late pick in this one- the pool flattened out quite a bit right at the end of the first round and the quality of the players was pretty consistent throughout the second. Penny was a guy I considered taking with my first two picks and he got paired with Wilt.

I would describe it as deep at pretty much every position, but shallow on truly elite talent. That's why I went CP3-Harden despite the stacked PG pool.
