Build Your Realistic Team - Draft COMPLETED

I don't mean to complain or argue, but I really didn't think we'd be starting on a Sunday, particularly the week before Christmas. Not sure if that was communicated anywhere during sign-ups, but had I known that, I would not have signed up. Alternatively, I guess I could have provided a list, but all of this seemed to happen so fast that I didn't know that was an option, that's on me I guess.

Enjoy the game fellas.

Just checking in on the pick order for round 4. It still appears as ABBB in the 1st post.

Paul and Mitchell pops for me. I wouldn't have been surprised to see either go right after the elite players.

Paul and Mitchell is slightly better than Paul's current running mate [In my opinion of course].

I guess I was too optimistic one of Mitchell, Holiday or Middleton would make it back to me.

Got ninja'd two straight times but what did I expect?

Still think I got a steal here, just like the Suns did:

That's Dario Saric, correct?

Unfair to allow him to pick an injured player. Even Dario Saric isn't above the law.

I'm excited for this guy come playoff time. Incredibly gifted scorer and shot-maker.

Zach LaVine

Wait I thought I was picking Cam Payne. Dammit. I think we'll have to trust the voters to decide who that is.

Normally we give everyone edit access so they can all input their own picks.

Okay, I've given everyone Edit access now.

I know that feeling and it stinks. Thanks for being gracious Pistol!

So while I'm enjoying the fun Ryoga made with Baski's clip, I wanted to request that people not be cute about who they are voting for.

I was checking this on my phone and squinting my eyes thinking "That's Booker, right?". Would be nice to just know.

The shot went in so it can't be Booker

Could be a bit of a reach but I think pairing a highly efficient interior scorer and elite rim protector with LeBron is a great fit. The Cleveland connection is a fun byproduct tbh.

Jarrett Allen

Some interesting picks here and there.

Biggest steals so far [imho] are Giannis at #4, Butler at #9, arguably AD at #17, and Donovan at #21; and the way the GS defense is humming along, Draymond at #19 is arguably a steal.

I mean, within the context of this project he probably is a steal [even if he's not quite the 19th-best player in the league] because he fits so nicely around other talented players.......and other talented players is exactly what he's guaranteed to get within this project, since we're taking the cumulative talent of a 30-team league and compressing it into 16 constructed teams.

At first I was sort of surprised to see Jarrett Allen go this high, but upon reflection, he is having a fantastic year. Legit pick at this stage.

Khris Middleton isn't really having a good year; sort of surprised he went so high. In light of him already being off the table, there are 1 or 2 players I'm a little surprised haven't been scooped up yet (I didn't name-drop!).

My understanding was that the evaluation wasn't solely based on this year but also what we would realistically expect from them in a playoff setting.

Ok, I am going with Bradley Beal, as I really like the synergy with Giannis.
I don't trust how the panel would judge the other guy I had in my list...
