thank god Ben didn't get giannis

all about that 19-20 release with giannis...its gonna be close...draft took two weeks last time and the nba season is over on the 17th i think?

still good without it but that 5th season of his is kinda weak right now

Yeah, he's (obviously) who I was talking about in my first round thoughts... he's a top 7-10 with 19-20 season... around 17-20 without IMO

Season is over the 14th. Hopefully WIS gets the data in. My research seemed like they will. It is the Savage League right? Hoping for th e 19-20 season...

Maybe I'll just wait 23 hours to draft someone that benefits from the 19-20 season in round 2. Who knows?

forgot you were doing evals on page 1...great stuff ash...thanks for keeping the rosters

"Bird has two elite seasons, two great seasons, and then that fifth season is pretty meh to me. Like it's good, but is it what I want to center a team around good?"

im gonna go with 82-83 for the 5th season...not a lead dog on any good team but a pretty good wingman...23% dreb and 16% ast at sf with 80d...hopefully i can find the right guy to lead that team

Yeah, it's more about style/head problem for me. I do one thing really, really well in this sim: building around paint scoring monsters. Anytime I try to go outside of the box and do something different, I end up disappointed. I'm sure you'll do well with Bird. I would likely butcher him.

I forgot too. Easily the most aesthetically pleasing evals I have ever read.

I am debating using some of Durant's less elite efficiency seasons to pack in some more of his also very good higher minute seasons. It really depends what happens in the other rounds.

The third rule of sim club is you do not talk about undrafted players.

(the first two rules are that you don't trade with Ben)



Preach.

You know, that's funny robusk. I knew KD would be one of the possibilites for me at 11, now with adding Steph, Wilt and Lebron. I came to the OPPOSITE conclusion. 2-3 of his seasons are "no-brainers". However, I pretty much came to the conclusion that his 2100 or so min season with GS would be a choice and one of his other lower min seasons (2400 or so?) would be the other. Much like another guy in this draft who has a bunch of seasons in the 2100-2500 min range yet always gets taken in the first two rounds, I was thinking that about KD. Lower mins but QUALITY mins.

But sheeeeiiiittt....what do I know, I came in LAST lol.

I considered that as well early in the draft then abandoned it later as too much work. I didn't use the great 2000-minute season, but I did use the 2300 and 2700 minute ones. And, I mean, that's not really that few minutes; look at guys like Giannis and Curry.

Dude might win 3 championships. Falls “one” spot smdh.

For real. I was about to try to trade back and give up Curry for Harden + early 2nd/3rd rounders. I can’t believe I might win the crown with him and that caused his stock to drop somehow.

James Harden selected

internal dialogue:
against every fiber in my body.. are we REALLY going to do this???
Looking around the Green Room - as we stride to hand our pick to the commissioner.....
