His peak is super underrated here, He has a handful of usable seasons. the 6.5 FGA/G with the DEF2/DPOY3 might be the most efficient.

Yeah can't say I have ever seen him drafted in these games here.

I have taken him about three or four times, but I have seen others take him maybe one or two times also. (over a long period of time)

He was an incredible shot blocker due to his elite timing on block attempts. He had pretty good length and athleticism, but he had an otherworldly intuition for when to actually jump up to make the block.

Why?

Moncrief wasn't really a natural PG. I'd only use him there if I had an elite playmaker at another position like Jokic or Bird.

Moncrief was definitely a shooting guard. Even when he was listed at pg he played alongside other playmakers.

I wasn't sure you'd go in that direction either since Moncrief can also be used in the Nellie category and I forgot you already had Ewing for that category. But it works, and there frankly weren't a ton of other pg options.

3 primier "coached by Nelly" options all went to the same team now I think of it. I don't know if that was intentional, but I respect it.

Billups and Holiday going to teams that had Curry and Kidd respectively changed the board a bit.

Snagging Middleton this late makes me feel a lot better about Reggie over Pierce in round 2. There is also a really good shooting guard in the Nelly category that I guess I could have paired with Pierce instead, but that would have been a might tighter pinch FGA-wise. I like this better.

Hopefully someone saved FGA for that guy.

Elie was a nice guy to get here too. Not too many low FGA 3 and D wings in this pool.

The only category he is eligible for is the Celtic. Is that where you are using him?

It seems like you have only one pick left, but you still have categories 3 and 5 as being unfilled. Sorry to nitpick but just wondering
