Re: 2010s Draft - Discussion
Four different players were considered at this spot. Usually when I'm that conflicted about my first pick things don't go well. Not because I pick the wrong guy (I don't think there was a wrong choice between those 4 players) but because the people behind me all get similar caliber players to me plus the jump on me in rounds 2 and 3.
We'll see what happens.

Re: 2010s Draft - Discussion
I thought about Giannis but I hate having to reach on a stretch big in round 3.
Might be worthwhile in this pool.

Sorry, I thought these games were in-fun and I simply made a comment jest, but I understand that isn't always apparent in an online sports forum.

I felt like Dirk/Giannis/Jokic were a trio. I wonder who you had as the 4th in this group?

It was Kobe. I was 50/50 on Jokic and there was another 2 guard who I feel is close to par with Kobe and slightly cheaper.

I like Kobe more than him because I trust his shooting more, even if Kobe's 3P% wasn't great in the RS.
Glad I picked the "right" guy.

I never understood why Dwyane wades name was spelled the way it is so I looked it up…..it was a spelling error on his birth certificate that his parents just kept? That’s hilarious and probably well known but I never knew haha

FFS I screwed up the Nash pick. His best seasons aren't available. Not catastrophic, but not what I thought I was getting.

FWIW I had him in the list of players likely to be taken before my best pick.
