This draft class really flattens out quite a bit. There could be some drastically different picks in our draft compared to IRL. Guys getting picked 20+ picks away, wayyyy more often than in a usual draft.


Personally I like more guys projected to go in the later part of the 1st round and into the 2nd round more than I like some of the guys projected to go in the middle of the 1st

its an interesting draft after you get through the mid lottery you can kinda see picks in the 8-9-10 range for some teams go in the late teens range maybe even 20's for others. Just depends how you evaluate them and your needs.

I agree with you, but I feel like from like 6 on is a lot of risk/reward guys. To go a little further along, I don't see much of a substantial difference between like 12 and 32 in this draft, talent-of-the-players-wise.

There are two guys I see as sure bets in that range but I don't think I can get them.

So you might say that guys from like 14-32 are similar talent wise in this draft? See what I mean? And hell, I might even extend that backend into the 40s.

Well to be honest, I have only really "scouted" guys in the teens and below. I know quite a bit about the top 4, but not a whole ton about like 5-12, unless they were making plays in the tourney.

Also, the lack of guys with funny names has really hurt my scouting.

Just sent in my top 3 to bish, in case I'm stuck at work tomorrow

Was kind of tough, cause I have Green rated #2 irl, but I think the fact I have 1 elite guard and I'm really high on Garland becoming an elite guard, plus the sim showing favoritism to bigs makes it about even with Mobley

Though I do hope mp takes Green 2nd. Don't want to see him go 4th. But if mp takes Mobley, I'll be more than happy with Green.
