I think everyone is still trying to figure out where Jokic should go. Once the shiny, new toy effect wears off I think he will end up being a middle of the first round guy.

Lillard in the mid 3rd is pure theft

I thought for sure Copernicus was going to grab him to upgrade the Kyrie spot on my Wilt/Wood build. That would been devastating. Bam is a great player too, but that would been a clear front runner in my opinion.

The thievery is gonna continue with his next pick as well.

jh and copernicus are looking strong.

Probably made a mistake in the 3rd. I took a 20 min/gm player 1 whole round earlier than he went last season... There's at least 1 player I probably should have made work instead

I am planning on reaching on my 4th and 5th round picks on low minute guys because those two combined is worth the reach. If my gamble doesn't work out though and I don't get both guys I want I might be in trouble.

That's probably right. Could be anywhere from 8 to 15 depending on what you're wanting to emphasize.

I definitely thought about him there but I have some other ideas how to address what he brings and Bam is pretty unique

How is Lillard an upgrade over Kyrie? Efg, TO%, ast%, is very similar. Kyrie is way better on D. More minutes? Is that the upgrade? I see a lot of players still not drafted that I'd rather have than Lillard, personally. Lots of players will very similar advanced stats. Maybe a little less usage, but o think u can find enough usage in the $52M.

Lillard is a legit option in the second round, but I see at least one undrafted player I would much rather have for what Lillard brings.

In other news, I am fricking loving this draft so far.

gravity maybe? Kyrie is more of a mid-range guy and doesn't exert so much perimeter gravity

beachhouse did a good job with trades to end up with four really strong players that mesh well together.

JHS trades out of the second, and has 3 players who legit could be top 35 players

I expect the discourse will not agree Dr. J is in the top 35, but I am thrilled.

DR J was a player I contemplated with my 4th pick, but I opted for useable 3's and passing.
