I think I'll keep Wallace =p I like the fact that I can still draft all five positions and have several different ways I can still go. I definitely have a way I'm aiming to go, though.

I will probably regret picking hakeem, but at that spot it seemed a given that I pick him and build around that

hakeem at 21 is something of a gift. no one can argue with choosing him. for me, its always like, please, someone choose hakeem so i dont have to. the same can be said about karl malone and erving. those players, i can't pass them up, but deep down, i don't really want them either... lol.

I think that the big factor for why I might ultimately hate Hakeem is his percentages. I looked at previous draft boards for KFunk and realised he never goes out of round one; Lucas seems to never go past round 2; so I made a basis and kind of a logic that the usage of Lucas and the amount of rebounds and offensive boards just made sense

I concur, setting at 20, hakeem, malone and the big O still available ! I like them all but i've never won with any of them.

the only time I saw hakeem dominate was in davkar's league way back when and that was because it was him and fat's. I will take my chances and maybe i can break the trend

Seems like katernberg's next 2 picks will be the most revealing as two whether or not the team will be a real monster to contend with. So far that Murphy/Boerwinkle combo looks extremely tough.

doesn't scare me too much... in fact, looking at all the tandems and trios thus far, kat's team (no disrespect intended) is the weakest, imo, and by a lot.

1st and 2nd round picks, in a 52 mil draft, should be reserved for guys who bring the kitchen sink. those two bring dirty dishes.

Well, it's limited in a quirky way but there's a lot there to build on. Very good defense and rebounding, but in fairly limited minutes. The obvious upside of Murphy is his offensive versatility. It'll be very interesting to see who gets paired with those two.

here's a bit more then

sappy picks a 2 (Allen) when lebron's greatest value is 2 eligible - is this a case of best player available over need?

similarly

mac picks Marshall when McAdoo's best value is at the 3

neither of the picks are deal breakers
both of the players taken in the 3rd were quite acceptable in terms of overall sim value, value available etc
and both squads could still be very good,

but I wonder about those two moves in terms of team composition and chemistry
