He's about to enter his prime, he's 27. :-?

He's about to enter his prime, he's 27.

It was a joke about him regressing the past two season and that he possibly changed his birth year to appear younger.

There have been rumors. I think him regressing is based on Durant being out two season ago, impacting team flow, and then just high extremely high usage between Durant and Westbrook this past year. I think he will play a much larger role in the offense in Orlando since no one there can score.

Love me some Millsap! Great pick!

I had Millsap last year, and he helped my team a lot contributing to so many cats. Bad luck about Millsap's knee Wheezy, I hope it isn't a persistent issue throughout the season.

Goran Dragic

Nice steal. He was my next target and thought i had a great shot at nabbing him since Yahoo has him way way way undervalued. Its his team to run, and with Wade gone and Bosh a big question mark, it will be up to Dragic to put the team on his back and produce.

I agree, Dragic is good pick with high upside potential. I was considering him for my fourth pick as well, so Goran definitely wouldn't have been there.

Sorry for the delay, had hoped Ibaka would still be here and been mulling over a few people.

I'll take Reggie Jackson.

Didn't sound too serious though, he's only supposed to miss 2 preseason games. I'm just crossing my fingers my squad doesn't all have crappy injury issues like last season.... I had two top ten guys and still only finished 8.

Team KJG selects...

Klay Thompson

I figured Marc Gasol wouldn't slip past you. I was debating over which order to pick Klay Thompson and Marc Gasol so I could get both.

Gobert has a lot of upside as well - I took a hard look at him, but ultimately passed because I already had Whiteside with his poor FT percentage.

Ridiculous value there. I made my pick, double checked Yahoo and hadn't noticed he was still there. Pondered changing it to Klay but needed the BLK/FG% and Klay's bound to drop, if only a little.

Not the sexiest name but this guy was quietly the most popular sleeper last year...NIKOLA JOKIC! Give the man some minutes.

Per-36s were insane: 16.5pts 11.6reb 3.9ast 1.6stl 1.0blk 0.6x3pt 51/81 splits.

Squad Goals up.

You don't think that's a bit early Tastic? I thought maybe taking him late 4th rounder would even be a stretch.

*edit*
Nevermind. I see that you guys are in the 4th, and he definitely wouldn't have lasted til your late 5th round selection.

IDK, its hare to select Klay this year. Curry is the Leader and Durant is the superstar. Those two alone will be dominating the ball and scoring load. For as good as Klay is, he will have to alter his game quite a bit this season and will be nowhere near where he was last season (stat wise).

Now with all that being said, you have to look at value, and its safe to say that if he was still on the board at my next pick, i would have taken him.

And good job snagging Jokic! Very underrated.

Orlando has a crowded frontcourt, but Vucevic is clearly their best offensive big man on a team without great scorers. Both he and Cousins have PF/C eligibility

I thought a bit early then double checked couple of mocks I've been in - he went mid 4th in one and 41 in the other I think.

Upside is immense...

Two Nikolas in a row. Pekovic is gonna be one hell of a reach if this trend keeps up.

wheezy · Post #196 » by **wheezy** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 8:29 pm

Really tempted to take someone else, but I'll take Nik Pe.... Andrew Wiggins.

Could be a bad pick but I'm hoping Thibs is able to push him closer to Jimmy Butler or PG13 than Derozan 2.0. Dude at least has the talent to make a jump this year.

Jonas Valanciunas

I flicked BBF a message, hopefully got him before he hits the hay

If anyone wants to move up in the 4th round, send me a message!

I'm sure his usage will go down, but he's the perfect player to put next to 2 ball dominant scorers. Like, literally, the perfect player - you couldn't design a player that would fit better on this team if you tried.
