Pretty happy with how the season shook out, though 1-2 of my players have now moved to my unlikely-to-draft-again list and I wonder what could have been if I did a bit better in those slots. Still slightly bitter at John for going on a horrible run the last 20 games or so and crashing out of the playoffs.
I also ended up using Kevin Love a bit less than I expected going it, but it varied season-to-season, his MIN and CLE profiles are pretty different.
The Tree Rollins experience is wild, man. I still don't really know how to value him especially since the true value of blocks remains elusive, to me at least. Wish he could cover PF, not that it was such an issue on these squads.
Who are the the two you are down on?
Nash - not because of his defense, which I was fine with in context, but because of the TOs and lack of boards. I defended the pick at the time but it's just a lot of negatives for a player who basically only contributes good but not mind-blowing shooting, and passing. I'd rather have gone with someone who brought some boards or at least had a cleaner game, especially with where I took him, and in retrospect there were a lot of other strong options out there. I really wanted Lillard so Nash was a bit of a consolation prize, the 3s looked good next to Timmy and Dr J, though he actually takes a lot of midrange shots compared to recent trends. The FT% is nice but the volume isn't all that high either.
I was also a bit underwhelmed by Iggy, especially since he ended up playing pretty much exclusively at the 3 for me. I like his skill set but with Dr J and Mookie (and 1-2 superior seasons each from Looney, Vandy, D West, and B Clarke drafted later) I really didn't need most of those mins and wish I had gone somewhere else at the end of the 6th, with a lot of talent still on the board and no minutes crunch to speak of.
I'll re-evaluate Mookie again once the postseason wraps, but I still think he's pretty good value at his ADP.
