My god, almost every.single.time.

Not sure it’s even a bad spot in this, but my goodness am I sick of having roughly the same position in almost every single draft.

I’m going full fun in this one. There will still be conventional picks from time to time, but no boring picks.

I thought Bird’s shooting might be a good fit with some of the other high rebound style of players

Had LeBron, Mike and Magic as a clear top three in this - feel lucky to get Magic at 5.

Had another name typed out, but I figure the amount of skill I can get out of KD with just 16.5 FGA and 8.3 RPG is pretty hard to beat

Only one capital-B big man taken in the first 7 picks is certainly a surprise

So far it's just kind of gone the way you'd expect from a normal draft.

I never understand how Duncan always falls in these things. Legit GOAT candidate, cheap FGA. I'd be hard-pressed not to take him first overall in any of these really.

I wanted Walton so freaking badly. You guys have no idea...

Need a moment. I do have likable options here but I'm not sure which one to choose.

Honestly, this twist is spooking me a bit. There's a lot of great big men who are great rebounders who still only have roughly the average rebound/FGA ratio that this twist requires. :o

There's some bench guys where you can get like 9 rebounds for 4 FGA though

Dirk is my main man, but I was apprehensive about drafting such a weak rebounder at the 4 so early.
