Thoughts so far

AD at 3 I think really is only 1 spot early for me.
SGA going top 10 and Luka not far behind is deserved those 24 seasons are wild.
imo Kawhi was a major steal I think he should’ve gone 15.
sad I didn’t get to try wemby just wish that season had any position flexibility.
kareem and Barkley together seems like a lot of money in the ODL

im personally very happy with my trade butler and Lillard seem like a great pair and I have 2 more picks coming up soon.

We aren’t very far in but DB seems like one of the favorites already

Just noticing my ODL 88 team had the 3rd, 7th and 11th picks in this draft. We should do keepers!

lol I had a similar team in 87 with gobert, Sga and Kareem.

One of the few times during the ODL draft that I can say I don't have a plan. I just don't know what to do.

19400	241.32	69.13	688	1988	19.55	105.70	55.64	37.07	82.75	54.89	11.22	6.95	79.18	119.82	9728	8.36	10.96
min	min/82	def	3s	ftm	fp48	usage	efg	oreb	dreb	ast	tov	FTA48	FT%	CREb	Money	Stl	Blk

I’m sure my lack of rebounding will sink this team but had to try something different

A lot of good teams it looks like this will be a tough year.

I think I came into this unprepared for what the competitive rebounding and efficiency levels would look like. I’m hoping the 1-2 punch of Barkley and Kareem will keep me in games offensively. It’s not a bad rebounding team but it’s not a great one either. Give me one to get my bearings, this might not go great for me

I can definitely understand teams that emphasize one or two characteristics, because they press an advantage in each unit for 20+ minute stretches or the whole game. I pretty much always go for balance, which was very very difficult back in the day and is WAY easier now. Of course, if you don’t really have an appropriate understanding of the field, balance can turn into mediocrity real quick. I’m hoping that’s not what happened here. It certainly did for me in the past, especially if Plans A-J were contingent on Players A-D in the third or fourth round, and you had to compete with Teams A-J to get one or two of them. So much easier to pick your strategy now, as opposed to getting stuck with BPA in the first and having to work with whatever that was

Yeah after the last two seasons came out efg numbers have really exploded. I like your draft other than the Barkley/Marshall pick/ (probably should’ve gone someone cheaper).
