I didn’t expect to get Giannis and Steph. I figured at least one would be taken already.
Giannis & Steph are great but I liked their players to pare less than Chauncey with KD

No issues with that point of view- I love Billups.

I like KD/Bullips best out of the three pairings in a vacuum but I do think that Giannis/Steph is the best possible pairing involving those 3 MVPs.

I know they'll get used at some point, but it's always funny to me how little the Hawks contribute to these pairs drafts.

You know, you could have paired Jokic with PG in round one, LR.

Yeah, the top picks were definitely at a disadvantage relative to the bottom picks.

No way DB possibly has a chance with Shaq/MJ supported by Jimmy Butler and Jrue Holiday. :roll:

I have no real idea how to finish this team.

I am not too good at building around JOkic....

Kind of lost on finishing it though.

Should I go cheap SG and keep using 21 FGA George or should i downgrade george to 17fga and have more of an impact sg...

I've never personally found 21 FGA PG to be worth it. He was an MVP level guy that year but it's often treated like a one-off by voters.

Do it if you've truly got no use for those 4 FGA but otherwise I always think you're better off upgrading elsewhere.

Yeah, I consider it a tier above his usual level but it isn't really treated that way.

Doesn't help that he didn't follow it up with a strong playoff run (partly due to his shoulder being messed up).
