How come the clock is now off at 11 PM instead of midnight?

Wembanyama is unfortunately unavailable since the last draft year we can use is 2020.

Mobley is sadly subject to the same exclusion

Probably already messed this one up by not taking SGA or Steph here, but I was kind of ho-hum about the options that would be available to me if I'd taken those two so early in the round, as I figured the best bigmen wouldn't be available in the next round. And obviously Tatum would NOT have been available at my spot to pair with Steph. And given Rudy and JJJ were both early second rounders and Embiid was a first rounder, I suppose I was right.

But still, eh.

Didn't love the middle in this one.

It is a very shallow pool relatively to most of our games. Nobody will end up with a super team. I bet we'll see plenty of new faces as well. Already considering a few of them myself since I cannot pair Jokic with Siakam anymore. He was the only ''conventional'' choice at PF alongside Jokic.

I think the playoffs are gonna be highly matchup dependant. Seems doubtful that any team will have a decisive talent advantage.
