Made that spreadsheet we were talking about. Ryoga, feel free to make a separate official one if you prefer, or if you'd like Edit access, just let me know.

I'd even let myself dream a bit Dray might slip into my range, alas. Back to reality.

I thought about him at 7 if Embiid was gone.

Morant and LaMelo are definitely interesting choices in this game, especially when the goal is to build the best contender.

Ok, MiltChamberlain is officially in place of PistolPeteJr, updated the first post.
I was really expecting LaMelo to get to me...

Back to sleep.

With the 21st pick, the team I represent selects...

Donovan "Spida" Mitchell

Just a spectator to this project, but I agree the top 4 are pretty clear this year. Not sure who I'd say is 5th right now.
Jimmy Butler has been phenomenal except for the missed games (seems a solid playoff performer too); don't think you could go wrong there either for the 5th pick.

Is name dropping allowed?



You are up!

Good pick. He was making a "Dwyane Wade" level jump last postseason prior to the injury.

I agree on it being a good pick, but Don went into the playoffs injured last season.

Two guys considered top ten players going into the season but have struggled with injuries / slow starts.

really curious to see how the voters will consider these

Gonna take a more defensive direction, with one of the best defenders in the game, great defensive big man and a great anchor for Miami. He and George will be a great defensive basis.

Embiid was the last of the MVP-ish players then there was a clear drop. It got pretty murky.

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