db asked me to not pick for him if it's after 10 pm, so we're currently waiting. I'll pick in the morning when I wake up.

I thought the Dwight was pretty clearly the best remaining center. I almost took him at the top of round two.

We may be in disagreement on that one. I stand by Dwight but I definitely feel it's close

I tend to think the younger guy is not trustworthy in these games yet, though I might end up with so many extra FGAs that I should have considered it over Gobert.

I forgot about him for a while. Just too expensive in the end for my team.
