I try to avoid players I am high on because players who I am generally high on is not the players whom this board is high on :lol:

I think you would have been safe with CP3.

No cheap players yet, I think we’ll see a run on them here shortly.

3 picks and only 3 teams used is nice. Thought about going someone other than Stockton but his low fga and only 1 team is hard to turn down.

Man oh man is this a tough call.

Some really sick choices here.

I'll admit, Shaq does present certain challenges from a FGA standpoint. Luckily I got 2 relatively cheap star wings to go with him.

Still, need a point guard and another forward and you guys know how picky I am with my bench players. We'll see how all of this goes.

That Ewing pick screwed me. I didn't realize he played in seattle AND Orlando... was gonna use up my FGA here

I thought about him in round 2 but Seattle and Orlando are big teams with great role players.

Grant Hill with Giannis/Bird.

Can always count on Snell to go for BPA. I don't think I was headed in the direction of picking Hill, but yeah, I don't think you get the max out of those 3 guys if you play them together. Especially Giannis/Hill. Especially with Draymond in there.

Great playmaking, but I think it's questionable spacing and I think someone is going to get left off in terms of touches.

I didn't really like how the more cookie cutter options were looking for me, so I decided to aim for a team of relatively interchangeable players who will create constant mismatches.

I didnt think Hill made sense for any of the guys above me so I scooped Dray with the hope of Hill getting back to me. Not sure my team makes any sense, but it'll be fun to try and fill out.

I did the same thing, I just thought that he made even less sense for you than he did for the other players ahead of you. I look at that and see a pretty poor fit, but maybe others disagree. I think you get diminishing returns when you start combining players like Giannis/Hill/Bird together, especially if you don't have enough shooting around them. For the same reason I think you get less offensively out of Draymond when he's with all of those other guys.

But yeah, I eventually decided Hill was going to be a bit too costly, I was just surprised to see him unavailable to me.

Love the shooting around Shaq that I have. Got plenty of FGA left too, and got some options I'm exploring for my 5th starter.

I noticed that the Pacers being eliminated for me was not reflected on the sheet.

Others should check to make sure their eliminated teams is up to date on Sheet 2.

Also, I'm pretty sure I lead the game with 11 teams eliminated.

I though it was switched to just the teams the player played for in the chosen season. For example, I’m going 07/08 Pierce so the Celtics are eliminated, but not Nets or Clippers. Or do I have this wrong ??

If you pick Pierce, you can no longer use a season for a player on any of Pierce’s franchises. But you could use Timberwolves Garnett, even though he also played on the Celtics. Does that make sense?
