Well ****, I was planning on having Westbrook fall to me, didn't think he'd go first :lol:

Gonna have to think about this for a bit.

I'd struggle to not pick Curry 1. He was so far ahead of everyone last year it wasn't funny. Just have to think he'll only play 70-72 games and be about 32mpg. Warriors will annihilate a lot of teams so he'll play even less 4th quarters.

The thing with the Warriors' players is that they could be far and away #1 in the west and KD/Curry could sit out a few (a lot) of games, especially if there is an injury. Specifically Curry, they'd do well to be resting him considering what happened last year.

Know how you feel. I thought Harden would be in my spot :lol:

Alright, I'mma take Durant.

sunskerr · Post #105 » by **sunskerr** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 9:35 am

YES

I TAKE CURRY.

Maystack · Post #106 » by **Maystack** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 9:36 am

Yeah it was a tough decision between the two, but I think Durant's going to benefit more from the Warriors system.

I like my 8th pick, but if someone makes a nice offer I'm OK with trading it.

And if anyone tries to screw me over: I'm taking Stephen Curry not Seth! :lol:

He was number one on my list the whole time.

I think it's my turn? Nothing Easy was my team name last year after I picked up Zaza- you can change to Zero Tolerance if you need to. I will be back soon with my pick.

I choo choo choose Giannis Antetokounmpo!

Now that is a ballsy pick! The Greek Freak wasn't even on my first round list.

I can't find anything I don't like about him this year. He won't be around when my next pick comes up so I had to go for it. The other options had either injury concerns, attitude problems, or I just don't like their game.

Agreed, I love him.

Bigger surprise was KD over Curry IMO.

Giannis over his last 23 GP was 19.1pts 8.1reb 7.3ast 1.5stl 1.9blk on 51% from the field. Only blight is the 68% at the line - but that can be fixed with a guy like DeRozan or Gallinari much later on.

Basically if he continues to play PG and have 7-8reb AND 7-8ast, along with those D stats...Nobody's ever done those over a full season - AST/BLK is such a rare combo and even 50% from the field isn't that common, especially for a guy who's 21!

I decided this year I'm not going to over analyze. So...

Karl-Anthony Towns

sunskerr · Post #117 » by **sunskerr** » Sun Sep 18, 2016 2:32 am

I feel like AD is a solid pick there. Certainly has #1 upside. As for Giannis, there are maybe 4 other players I would have considered before him at that time. He certainly has big upside though and at 1.5-2 bpg pretty basically solves the shot blocker dilemma that everyone faces at one point or another.

Probably would have taken KAT over Davis. Towns has a ton of room to grow and doesn't come with the injury risk. It's crazy he's already a 1st rounder.
