Also think the Top 6 all seem to have good starts with their threesomes. Dh is obviously up to no good with his Wilt team, love the klay pick - believe 48-49 is the earliest he has gone but so good with Wilt. Harper perfect low usage compliment. We will see how he fills out 3/4 spots but an early favorite to be sure. Manu doesn't normally make it back to pair with Lebron. It's very nice as a potential backup/running mate combo. Drummond seems a perfect component to Lebrons posse. Thomcat's Curry/Mcadoo/Chandler is a scoring machine. Moses is a wild card, but Dikembe pairs well, and Brand is a super steal to provide more efficient scoring. Jt7 has 2 ideal role players with MJ in Walton dishing and boarding and DMarsh stroking the 3. All play very good to elite D. Kareem has a high assist and a high D partner which is scary. Lots of usage from dwill and kemp though that isn't super efficient taking shots away and using precious $$$. Haven't looked at the numbers but the names look good on paper

Don't dislike the 7-10 spots either. Can't quite gauge the Oscar/Frazier/Zo/Webber combo from bds. Seems expensive? Jcreds Shaq team will be competitive with Porter and Marion as the leading "others." Rodman with Russell? Incredible boards, but we need 1.5 more scorers to give this a legit chance.

And very curious who joins Mailman and Chuck

We do need evals though.

Evals before the draft is over is silly

I don't think everyone agrees. Even commentary is good.

Yeah I think commentary/thoughts on first 3/4 rounds sometimes occur, depending on the free time of the evaluator. Agree that picks/predictions need to wait til the end but often real time evals have been done

holy **** I just realized something

What did you realize???^

Something!

Well, I assume I'm supposed to do the evaluations this time.... I'll wait until the draft is over- or close to it. I don't like doing a running commentary. I'm too honest to do as Copernicus suggests and throw people off- and often time the 'evals' done before the draft is over are just 'advice'.... Like 'This team looks good, but they better draft some 3s and asts in the 6th round'... Or "I don't think this team will work unless they find some serious boards with the picks left"... I just don't like giving advice to people who are trying to beat me... I mean, I'll give general advice or if anyone wants to ask me my opinion about a team in a league I'm not in- then I'm more than willing- but I'm just not really interested in doing evals before the teams are set. Sorry.

OK I'll spin some evals - we're going to call this one

"Sh1t talking the draft" ( a service brought to you by me):

Banditone = 3 small forwards and Mo Cheeks (who was awfully nice to that little girl who was struggling w the national anthem)
Uptown = Hol' Dat + Harden + a kick to the nads + the malice = I just cant
RJK = that's a hella bunch of wings, there are 3 other positions yet to be drafted
666 = you drafted the greatest PG of all time and have surrounded him w not a single point of usage = madness or genius? you decide
JH = KG is NOT a first round pick dammit! (no matter what has happened in the last several drafts)
CJOK = not worth it, seriously
bds = you know the cap is set at 47m right? ( I was hoping for Buck but then I remembered this, it's important) also rebounds are also important


more to come (and if I didn't mention you yet your team is boring or I like or hate it but cant find anything to say about it)

Happy New Year

All fair points - when done in real time, there isn't proper context to make comments on first 2 rounds and it can be time consuming to circle back to re-eval the real time eval . Can see doing it either way
