I've been happy with where I've gotten everyone so far. Rebounding is still an issue but Millsap at SF will help with that. I have very few defensive weaknesses (one Curry season is the only one out of 30 drafted so far that will have sub-50 D) but also very few standout defenders, so might end up disappointed on that end. Lots of defensive seasons in the 60-70 range.

The good news is, I don't need many more high-usage seasons and have drafted a pretty good number of minutes. Hopefully will be able to take some good low-minute seasons moving forward.

Not a fan of my team.

Yeah I think your team sucks too. What the **** were you thinking? Dude.

I keep seeing all these commercials for Jesus on TV. I was so impressed I went to Amazon and ordered two.

To quote Wade Wilson... "What in the ***?!"

Context:

This is definitely the congested downtown traffic section of the draft.

It's getting harder for me to see how anyone other than ben is going to win this time around. He's played this draft perfectly.

I really like my team. My 5th/worst team is looking like 151 CRB% with 100, 93, and 84 defenders in the starting lineup.

Then again, I also liked my team last season so..

I can promise that none of my teams will have anywhere close to 150% CRB in the starting lineup, lol

Yep.

I noticed it is now a "12 hour" skip rule, instead of 24. Does that include overnights?

Ben’s strong, but I think allot of y’all are scared because it’s Ben. Which makes sense. It is Ben. And he’s strong.

I forgot my point. Oh yeah, **** jcred for taking Robert Williams!!

Yep.

I don't disagree - Ben's draft is awesome. But just to play devil's advocate for a second - lot of low minutes players, and/or players where 1-3 seasons are considerably better than the rest.

So I could see his backend teams being noticeably worse than the backend teams of say, 20ks or ash or probably tarheel, just to name a few especially deep rosters at first glance. I'm picturing a lot of meh 51%-52% EFG in those seasons, though still with strong supporting stats.

Also, we should really stop letting Ben get Jrue, especially given his newest season.

The team with the record for most all time regular season wins had Kawhi, Hakeem, Derrick Favors and Ed Davis on it... That is 4 of Ben's first 7 picks. He has Jrue instead of Dame but still a prolific point guard. The only significant difference between that team and Ben's so far is Brandon Clarke instead of Javale McGee and Drexler instead of Butler. But Drexler versus Butler is close to a wash and Clarke and McGee I have at similar value but different positions.

So worst case scenario, Ben has started the first 7 rounds of the draft with a very, very similar team to the one that got 281 regular season wins.

So yeah... he's winning.

And now you guys know why I was so desperate to trade down... so I could at least make it difficult for him.
