I forgive you Reggie


Fair to say Draymond/Ewing is going to likely be the best defensive front-court in this game. Hopefully, you can find the right perimeter players, but their cheapness allows you to splurge on more expensive wings like another New Yorker.


This might be my first time taking Ewing and I had KG pretty recently, so in the spirit of a more interesting build I'm not mad

I've drafted him quite a few times just cause he fits with almost every team.

By my count it needs one more person after me.

Remembered Mobley only a couple of hours ago, and then immediately realised there was no way he'd fall to the third round in this pool. :-?

Very rarely is a player on my short list not being picked. You guys are good!

Considered a few different guys there, but I ultimately preferred Mitchell over the others as I think he's the best fit of the bunch with Jokic, not a straight liability defensively, and a good shooter. The others were either not ideal fits, bad defensively, and/or not reliable shooters.

I almost went KCP, but felt that Brown gives me more offensive punch and someone who cam attack the rim.
