Not a draft where I thought Jokic would go third.

Given some of the potential issues surrounding Luka/TBD, I would have taken him first without a doubt. Do love the Wemby pick though, appreciate having fun with it and rooting for his development! Luka and the other main guy require too much specific team building for my taste, and the other main guy is coming off a less-than-his-level year with a new face in town.

How do we evaluate them here? Suppose I pick Kawhi and I didn't drop him but he ended up playing only 20 games. How is he judged?

Again, I don't want to impose a games minimum as there's no way to predict beforehand that enough of your players will meet it. This is why we're doing rankings based on season performance as opposed to playoffs.

You will have to use your judgement to determine how much you penalise for missed games. Think of it somewhat like awards voting (prior to the games minimums being implemented). 20 games is obviously too extreme, but you may decide 55 games of one player is more valuable than 70 games of another.

Count me in.

Agreed it's challenging to value injury-prone players. I mean, the Clips announced Kawhi is out indefinitely. Another example is Porzingis. I believe he's expected to come back around January(?). He may miss half the regular season and still be a key contributor come playoff time. Do we judge players solely based on regular season projections or do we take the playoffs into account?

I kinda like being right in the middle. I don't have to wait forever to pick.
