I totally backed myself into a corner with the Rodman and Camby picks. I think I made up for it though. I’m not particularly excited about my Nowitzki/Kobe picks, but I have 3 90+ defenders who can combine to cover all 5 positions. Rodman will grab a solid portion of Kobe’s questionable shot selection. Everyone is relatively clean. I’ll probably screw up with my bench, but I’m somewhat confident right now

You made a believer out of me. That's a solid, though quirky, quartet. The trick now is to find a distributor who can be an efficient third scorer.

I drafted Chauncey Billups in the second round, I think he fits that hole quite nicely

god dammit is the name of my team going to have to be 'That's What She Said'?

It’s better than the one I called dibs on of “STRATAGY” -

You should plug it in

(^theres your cue)

that's... {must stop the cycle}…. what....

Good news: my starting lineup has efg% of 58.4, 57.8, 56.7, 56.1, and 54.0
Bad news: they have def ratings of 89, 80, 61, 60, 50

I've been screwing up everything in this league lately, when one of my favorite 52 mil guys (Lucas) was there in the 5th I figured I might as well go for it, even though it meant bad defense. I do wonder if I should have gone a different direction from Beal - there was a higher defense, lower usage option available - but we'll see if it works out OK. One thing different about this team is I have a lot more of my minutes covered in my first five picks than usual. My ultimate success may depend on how many low-minute gems go undrafted.

From what I have seen out of this group don't expect too many low-minute gems to go undrafted.

Ha I agree but a couple always slip through

thoughts?

Looks pretty good. Grab a 3 point shooting guard with assists and you're all set.

Player	Position	Usage%	eFG%	OReb%	DReb%	Ast%	TOV%	Def	MP
Mookie Blaylock 97-96	PG	21.9	52.8	4.2	10.6	21.2	13.0	83	38
Anfernee Hardaway 95-96	SG	25.5	54.9	4.9	8.1	23.9	13.5	83	37
Larry Bird 86-87	SF	27.5	55.5	4.8	18.3	20.5	12.4	76	37
Pau Gasol 10-11	PF	21.9	53	9.6	19.1	11.4	9.8	71	37
Bobby Jones 76-77	C	18.2	57	7.3	19.8	12.0	14.1	100	30

Who needs rebounds right? (is the lie I am currently telling myself)

Name	Team	Pos	Usage%	2pt%#	3pt%#	eFG%	OReb%	DReb%	Ast%	Stl%	Blk%
		Kyle Lowry	17-18 Raptors	PG	21.7	46.6	39.7	55.3	2.8	15.0	25.1	1.5	0.4
		Alvin Robertson	89-90 Bucks	SG	20.6	51.0	15.6	50.5	9.3	14.0	20.1	3.4	0.4
		Otto Porter Jr.	17-18 Wizards	SF	18.4	52.9	43.8	58.1	4.5	17.1	7.8	2.1	1.0
		Giannis Antetokounmpo	18-19 Bucks	PF	32.3	63.1	25.5	59.9	6.8	28.5	20.0	1.6	2.4
		Artis Gilmore	74-75 Colonels	C	22.5	58.0	50.4	58.1	12.3	25.5	6.5	0.7	3.9

I seriously messed this up. I was happy to start with Giannis and liked Gilmore with the high cap. Still liked Lowry and as my 4th round pick was thinking about how to use Giannis and his position flexibility depending on best player available. Then fell in love with the idea of Ben Simmons, who I typically stay away from. But with Lowry shooting plenty of 3's, Giannis high assists at PF I could then slide in a 3 and D SF which is easy to find. Then some jerkwad took Simmons and I just didn't have a plan B. Took Porter to maintain some position flex but he's not that great at anything except efficiency. Took Robertson because I really wanted those Oreb at guard. Feels like a mess to me. Not very good D either.

If it makes you feel any better, grabbing Simmons probably ruined my team :( after picking him, I had too many specific needs for center (low usage, decent D, good DRB, decent passing or 3s) and everyone took all the good ones and I was stuck with O’Quinn.

could I get an update on whether undrafted players have a $4,000 salary limit.

Nope. Got rid of that rule awhile ago

Can you trade players after they're drafted? Lets talk!
