RIP Poochie

At 8, I feel theres 3-4 guys on the same level..

Are we allowed to trade in the first round?

You can drop down to me if you want

yo remi my condolences that sucks man. Not easy to deal with.

Russ is a great pick. Was a little surprised ctorres went with Durant over Westbrook with a chance to jump in front. But top 5 went as the top 5 should have IMO. While defense is very important you need to be able to score. All 5 guys can carry a team.

The point guard position is deeper in talent than the small forward position.

You did well imo, I like the idea of playing DuRAT center

I know, thats why I would have liked to trade up if you wanted, knew Kawhi would have gone before for a deal with Greenie and Curry before AD

I think the most beastly squads will be built by those who are picking in the 10s and early 20s.

Post #157 » by **Deeeez Knicks** » Mon Jan 16, 2017 6:04 pm

Really can't go wrong with any of the top 8

lol, it's just my hot take, but if you're positioned there you have a really good shot at three very good players + a good bench.
