Man, this is a TOUGH draft to have those brutally long gaps between picks, because EVERYONE goes.

On the bright side, you have your exception to use!

I wonder who, let me know via PM. Just like the defense Hark will bring at the wing position compared to the other wing players available unless I missed somebody. Not that Detlef is a bad wing defender, Hark just provides an upgrade defensively especially going up against elite wing offensive players which there are a few in this one.

I like a lot what Murray brings to the table who I thought had a pretty good rookie season. He has a ton of potential who will only get better. His ability to play 1 or 2 is very important in this kind of setting. Not only he has the ability to dish it out (had 10+ assists in his first game at starting PG if I recall) or he has the ability to play off the ball and shoot it from distance and be ready to shoot from the dish from Westbrook.

I am actually surprisingly pleased with the way my bench turned out. Coming in, I thought I'd have to draft guys I never had even heard of due to the small talent, but my team is comprised entirely of long time NBA rotation guys.

I'm only seeing six names for you on the spreadsheet but I believe there should be seven at this point.

My goodness I would do things so much differently if we did this draft again.
