Shawn Marion is a great pick, Gerry - I was looking at him pretty closely with my last pick. Some seasons he’s a high rebounding SG, other seasons he’s a really efficient PF...good variety of seasons to mix and match with your other players on your 5 rosters.

Agree on Marion, I considered him when I tool Kawhi to be honest.

im a little biased based on how well marion did for me in the tepl but i had him as a late 1st/early 2nd guy...super clean sf with boards/3s/d and heavy mins? sign me up

I know I should have gone with more offense than Big Ben, but with my top 3 SG/SFs just taken figured I'd double down on boards/defense. I have a few other perimeter guys in mind, hopefully 1 makes it to me in rd 3. Plus, now I don't have to worry as much about getting an elite rebounder at the 3.

Wallace is a great pick. All 4 of his non-best seasons are almost as good as his best season.

DeAndre and Drummond. Howard and Big Ben. Some glass-cleaning front lines are starting to emerge.

We typically agree, but I loved the Paul George pick and had Ben Wallace on do not draft.

Having panned the player, I like the logic.

Took a while for Bill Russell to go; I was starting to think he’d be my 3rd. Boards, dimes, defense, and an absurd amount of minutes. That run on board lords made me slightly sick to my stomach even though I knew it was about to happen.

I don’t get the latter half of this statement. I understand literally what you mean, just question the reason for it

PG was so not on my radar that I forgot he existed. Doesn’t mean he’s bad... just hasn’t come up on literally any search I’ve done with the parameters I’ve been setting.

on an unrelated note, the first WTF pick has happened for me.

this has been a joy to behold & participate in.

I think (probably incorrectly) Big Ben’s four other seasons drop off in such a way that I would have been happier with Tyson or Bill Russell or other undrafted guys.

Seeing as this is the Savage Draft Tournament, I welcome all savagery.

dirk and jokic were total wtfs for me...im waiting til the 3rd for them

frazier really sticks out when looking for defense at the 1-2...lack of 3s for shaq hurts a lil tho

i had it gobert/chandler/russell/wallace/camby for my low usg boardlords rankings...mutombo would be 1st if i didnt have kareem

I agree about the Frazier-Shaq pairing, but I'm assuming kinoa has a devilish plan. And I'm glad to see ol' Walt getting more respect than he's had for the past few years in the 52 league.
