Thought I'd address this since I bypassed Paul George at #12 for Marc Gasol, after strongly considering him.
The main reason I did this is because I knew I was gonna go for a PG with my #17 pick and thus decided I wanted an elite big at 12.
But also, MGasol seems like more of a "sure thing" than Paul George as of today. I say this because we are familiar with MGasol's spot in the Grizz rotation, while there are some variables (mainly Granger being healthy) in Indiana that make George, while he will definitely be elite regardless, slightly more of a question mark as far as touches and stats. I will say I personally think both George and Gasol could have gone a couple slots higher in our league.
Basically I felt like MGasol and Paul George were equally attractive with who was on the board at that moment, and opted for Gasol due to my drafting plan.
