You can never have enough shooters! :D

Definitely how I feel.

Plus Allen is an animal. I like perimeter aggression when they have help behind them.

Ok, I decide to listen to my star and get him his wish.
That's why my Xmas present for him, two weeks in advance, is Bogdan Bogdanovic.

I'm doubling down on the Magic and taking the 4th rookie in this draft,

With the 118th pick, the Rethymno Cretan Kings select Derrick White. A heady combo guard who impacts the game on both sides of the ball.

This is a guy I really believe a lot in IRL, after the bubble I thought he could have turned into an all star.
Unfortunately he's not been shooting that way since...

I absolutely love his BBIQ, his court vision, his defense and his team-first mentality in general. His 3pt shot isn't falling this season, but he's a decent shooter. I mean, his career average from 3 is 34.1% on 3.6 attempts per game. You can't just leave him wide open and dare him to shoot. He's also a career 83.3% shooter from the FT line. More often than not, FT% is indicative of shooting ability.

Sort of flying under the rader this season because he is on Houston. Averaging 15/3.5 on 44% from 3.

Really hurt losing out on Vucci-Mane. Wanted to recreate his connection with Caruso this year, and I could've used his shooting. I felt a bit iffy about his defense, but at least he'll look much better with Ryoga's setup than mine.

Well anyway, his replacement I trust to hold the fort when Rudy sits, is a brick wall, will find cutters and rewards movement on the outside (D-Rob is gonna love him), has good touch and knows how to use his weight inside.

I'm surprised to see Seth Curry drop this far. I know you really like him, Doc, and I think it's amazing value this late!

I actually wanted to take him round 5, but McCollum was still available. Otherwise he was my second option.

Let's get another elite rim protector who can finish some pick-and-rolls with Trae.

To me he looks way retro, like pre-WWII style. I dig it.

Thanks Power. Yeah, makes me happy.

To be honest I didn’t consider him I earlier rounds so I get why he slipped. He’s not quite good enough to be the guy your offense around, so then you need the right ecosystem for him to shine.

I think he’s proven though to be good enough to be a starter on a contender, so getting him as a back up is great for me.

Well, unless he's about to travel back in time to the Interwar period, he still looks like a clown to me. :clown: :clown:

Gonna go for a versatile stretch big who is shooting 43% from the three this year on 4.8 attempts, and has been a key factor for Charlotte, with great defense. Also has had 1.2 bpg and 1.1 spg last year. Welcome PJ Washington!

He usually plays PF but can also play as a small ball center, and with his great shooting he'll be terrific next to Bam or JJJ.
