UP

I am reasonably happy with how things have gone so far. I was iffy on choosing AD over SGA and Curry, but I did it based on the assumption that a strong but not often used playmaker like Jalen Brunson would be available at a later point in the draft. I think Brunson with KCP covering him defensively and the elite front two-way court I built is ultimately better than anything I could have built with SGA/Curry at my draft position.

I also strongly considered Anthony Edwards over Siakam, and I could have gotten DB's backcourt of Jrue/Edwards, but I don't think that pairing would have fit as well with AD as Brunson/Siakam/KCP does.

No regrets.

Brunson was my second option to pick behind Edwards btw

Yeah he’s great value in round 4.

I thought about getting very greedy and waiting even longer, but that felt foolish given wack needs a point guard and has that draft open.

For the record my original hope was Haliburton, though Brunson is a better volume scorer I preferred Haliburton with his proven chemistry with Siakam. Obviously that didn’t happen.

I have had a very similar draft path as you, and was definitely eyeing Brunson. But now I can almost certainly wait to grab my PG as I don't anticipate anyone else grabbing a high volume PG given the rosters.

Oh thank god undrafted guys count, the 3 and D pool was looking bleak without them.
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

Zubac was a great pick.

I get why he isn’t often selected in normal drafts but in this one (and alongside prime Harden and PG13) he’s a great fourth offensive option. Fade quietly building a strong team here.

Steph
Hayward
Tatum
Kristaps

And bomb some threes and it lets steph play off ball some with Hayward and Tatum being capable playmakers.

Just realised I have to repick as DFS was in same draft class as Zubac.

Is there anywhere on Basketball Reference that tells you what class an undrafted player belongs to?

I used Wikipedia to make my big board, went draft by draft. Have a section for Undrafted Players. Not sure about BBRef

Nowhere. I've been using Wikipedia for that.

I had Caruso on my list before realizing that despite his 2017 debut the draft he was actually registered for was 2016, same draft as Siakam.

Unfortunately I haven't gotten my laptop back yet, so I couldn't really do a board as such. I've been mostly winging it so far.

For some reason I saw DFS's recruiting rank and thought it related to his draft class. :roll: Slightly annoying as I talked myself out of Avdija at the last minute.

3 different picks at once must be some kind of a new record
