I had West, Kawhi, Wade, Tatum, Luka and AD (not necessarily in that order) as a very clear top 6.

Probably should have taken flaco up on his swap offer, but I have a weird thing about wanting to play the hand I'm dealt.

I get that.

Its an interesting draft here, I think that outside of the top 6 a team is still going to have a couple of stud players.

I am concerned on my next pick if I should pick utility or BPA

If I had the number one pick I’d have probably taken Kawhi. West was a clear second. I get why one might like him better though.

I like West, and I failed pretty miserable in the last draft with him, so wanted to try again.


I do think Jerry would have been an absolute animal in the modern NBA too.

Wasn't expecting CP3 to drop to me, but I guess it makes sense given the depth at PG.

Really like having two genius-level players like him and Gasol to start with.

Almost took Paul instead of Luka at 4th. Felt he was giving better flexibility going forward. We'll see

Already feeling fairly negatively about my draft tbh.

I suppose I should have just taken BPA and let everything else sort itself out.
