Ooh, last pick feels elite in this draft.

Second game in a row with huge delay for first pick

Not a fan of the Luka-West fit

Curious why?

I know luka is ball dominate, and so was West..but Wrst was a capable off ball player

Gives me 2 elite offensive initiators that would be near impossible to contain

I see them as basically same type of player offensively. Like I wouldn't pair Luka and Harden.

It’s not an optimal fit, particularly with an MVP who’s fit better with either player on the board, but West and Luka are very different offensive players.

West could do a lot more off ball than Luka.

Just trying something different.

Talent usually wins and I think those 2 guys fit well enough

These options feel a little too good though that also means someone in Round 3 ends up stacked.

Davis fall is interesting. He might've been the best big man on board since the end of round 1, even though there are still some great bigs our there

Works out great for me. I can run him as my center or slide him to my PF

Karl Malone in the 3rd is criminal

Left a short list to Dr Positivity

If Karl Malone and Anthony Davis are third rounders, your draft is too deep.

There was a couple of second rounders that should gave been 3rd, imo.

If it's even remotely possible with a couple of odd picks for Malone and AD to drop to the third, your draft is too deep.
