I'm giddy about Giannis and DeAndre, but curious to hear what other people think

Its a great start. All depends on what guards fall to you, because not taking one until the 5th is tough. I'm in a similar boat, though Dr. J could end up playing SG.

I don't think Jokic went too early - he's an intriguing Swiss Army knife in this league. But offsetting his poor D requires some care, and it would be nice if he shot better from 3.

I actually seriously considered taking Jokic at the turn because it would be a hoot to play with the flexibility a Wilt-Joker frontcourt provides, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. And as it is I'm content for now with the opening trio of Chamberlain, Billups, and Klay. I've got my 3s, most of my ast% for the starting lineup, offensive spacing, a good start on D and usage, and ridiculously low PFs so far.

I think Billups and Klay work really well with Wilt. It does put a lot of pressure to get rebounding with your other two picks, even with Wilt's big boards.

Walton and Manu both sliding out of the second round: market correction or aberration?

I figured Ben was trading up to get one of those guys. I may be wrong.

I can't decide which MJ season I wanna use. It's between 87-88, 88-89, 89-90, and 90-91. I am leaning toward 90-91 but I can't land on one.

I was actually shooting for Dr. J, you just beat me to it. With Stockton and Whiteside, he would have been perfect.

Hmm, I was hoping Jerry Lucas would fall to me.

Weighing in from the DC area: Yeesh. Everyone stay safe, sane, and optimistic.

Starting five is weak on rebounds in light of my preference to dominate in that area, but better on efg% than I usually manage. I'll be curious to see if it's a wash.

Got a weird strategy cooking with Kawhi’s lower usage/96 D/no passing 13-14 season. Kirilenko and Bam make up for his lack of passing.

Doncic and 4 elite defenders (okay 3 plus a pretty good one) with 80%+ cumulative AST%

Doncic
Kawhi (role player version)
AK47
Bam
Admiral

we’ll see what happens. This definitely wasn’t what I set out to build.

Running out a bit of a State Farm concept here:
Penny
Magic
Nance
Noah
Jokic

Is Lillard a poor mans Steph Curry or am I crazy?

you're not crazy.

Penn is back on his BS with the Tiny pick. We’ll see how it goes this time around
