I love ‘82 Doc soooooo much. I realize now that he’s a late first round pick. Sure, the 100 D is nice and the eFG% is super solid, but it’s the 9.3 OReb% at SG that allows you to do so many other things. Ben obviously shores up my DReb%, and now I’m really happy with this team. Conley falling to the 4th was perfect.

Then again, when I look at some of these teams -

Klay/Barkley/McHale
PG/Drummond/Moses
Bledsoe/Harrell/Capela/Towns
Pippen/STAT/Gobert
Kyrie/McAdoo/Dwight
Lowry/Giannis/Artis
Donyell/Karl/Walton
and a few others

I'm a little worried if my squad has enough. The bar is pretty high this year.

Now That Jokic has been picked management has decided to burn their entire draft board and let their nerdy analytics guy pick from now on and to hell with the consequences. Translation? I no longer care about winning and want to try something out.

jcred...its gonna be a 50 mil cap

i cant believe klay fell so far...and now paired with ben simmons in the backcourt? we are making this too easy for dbkc

i love the start for jh...amare is an absolute league winner and fits perfectly next to gobert...pippen at the 2 helps make up for amares lack of rebounding

dBKC is building an efficient offensive juggernaut with Sir Charles, McHale, and Klay
Klay was a great pick, one I almost made. Looks like another elite dBKC team.

I’ll be honest, I have way less faith in this team than I did in my last few...thanks though.

I’m in need of assists and 3s and DRB and DEF. I’m set on ORB and eFG. Finding the 5th man to meet all of my needs is going to be near impossible.

Even if I nail this next pick, which I kind of expect to, I will find new and creative ways to mess it up.

Yes, I really didn't think very much about taking Klay Thompson when I traded up and took Deron Williams. I was looking at having to use 10+ MPG of either Klay or Kawhi Leonard at the back up SF position and didn't want to do that. Now using Clyde Drexler's 16 MPG season, which I love, to back up Kawhi leaves me with big holes to fill and no more picks until the 6th round.

vance...i think you made the right call with deron...hard to find that combo of usg/efg def and ast%

jh...one of my favorite players in the sim is just sitting there...perfect fit for your team...i have a feeling its the same player you are about to take(as long as coach doesnt take him)

We can all agree that I have done a magnificent job through the first 4 rounds, how am I going to ruin it?

Steve Nash + Shawn Marion = Steve Marion? That would be a fantastic WIS player. XD looks good to me

I really wanted to keep going with the theme of 100 Defense that my first 3 picks had, but Jokic is too high value of a player to me, and he fit a lot of needs so I couldn't pass on him. (Get it? PASS on him!?)

The draft portion is always the most exciting and nerve wracking part of this and the ODL to me. Especially with all the good owners in this league, I look at the rosters and I see 20 playoff teams.

Patrick Ewing! No longer a sixth round steal. And a great fit with Deandre and Durant.
