McHale is a minny legend tho

Yup. McHale is probably one of the highest grades I had left... that combination of usg, efg, and def along with a pretty clean tov game and solid orb... yeah. Paired with Magic is nice. KAT is someone I probably undervalued having not participated in a draft league since he's been in the NBA. Was still considering him at the top of 3.

also: It's been YEARS since I spent this much time on WIS on a weekend. I normally end up missing managing my depth chart a couple of times on the weekend, but I've been relatively glued to it for hours today.

Absolutely! More my Dad’s guy then mine though. Born in 1990. Bobby Jackson is my Gopher!

Gotta thank you for this dh, constantly refreshing this page is something I have not done in a while. It has been enjoyable and and this thread has been a much needed distraction.

I am really into cooking and ashamael is doing pretty solid writeups on the teams so far. So I decided to pick something food related to associate with each first round pick:

Selection	Pick	Owner	Dish
Abdul-Jabbar, Kareem	1	dh555	Brussel sprouts and pork
Jordan, Michael	2	copernicus	Chocolate cake with a vintage port
Malone, Karl	3	bds9992	Pasta water
O'Neal, Shaquille	4	kinoa1	Molecular gastronomey
Paul, Chris	5	24kpyrite	Roux
Durant, Kevin	6	tarheel1991	Saffron
Howard, Dwight	7	jpevans31	Truffle oil
Stockton, John	8	samuelyork93	Tumeric pickled english cucumber
Robinson, David	9	gerryred	Mint pistachio pesto
Malone, Moses	10	dskantor	Mystery dish at a pot luck
Barkley, Charles	11	pexetera	Co-worker's chili
Harden, James	12	dbkc	Pheasant confit
Jordan, DeAndre	13	ysw128	Microgreens
Bird, Larry	14	pharrop	Chickpea stew
Gilmore, Artis	15	robusk	Rabbit gumbo
Duncan, Tim	16	amerk1180	Deviled eggs prepared by a stranger
Johnson, Magic	17	mptrey	Sumac
Garnett, Kevin	18	20ks	MSG
Antetokounmpo, Giannis	19	jcred5	Lamb charmoula
Pippen, Scottie	20	goetz93	Fruit cake
Rodman, Dennis	21	longtallbrad	Lemon drop pepper hot sauce made from my stuff in my garden
Davis, Anthony	22	jhsukow	Amuse-bouche
Thompson, Klay	23	ashamael	Wild game stock
Olajuwon, Hakeem	24	benhoidal	Kimchi and cheese

some of those don't sound very appetizing.... kimchi and cheese?

With Kawhi off the board, all of “my guys” have homes. I now completely enter a mindset of who helps Nash and AD.

Are veal tacos a thing? That is what I have Karl Malone as.

Pasta water......like the water pasta boils in? Can't he be gumbo? He is from Louisiana.

Kimchi and cheese is surprisingly a delicious combination, which is exactly the sentiment I was trying to convey: the surprise and the deliciousness.

gonna have to try a spicy kimchi grilled cheese sandwich

Pasta water is a great thickening agent but honestly, I always keep way too much on hand.

I have no idea what any of those mean in regards to the players drafted, but they do have entertaining names!

Oh yeah baby, do a half cheddar half mozzarella blend (never buy pre-shredded, the mix in what is basically saw dust to keep it from clumping) and a spicy kimchi, with just a basic thick cut white bread. It is incredible.

Also, making your own kimchi is a good use of veggies that are getting close to spoilage.
