Rebounds? Check
Assists? Check
I am excited to build around both Rodman and Stockton

Really intriguing start. I'll be watching the rest of your draft with keen interest. Conventional wisdom in this league has been that it's just not a good idea to get through the first two rounds without making a serious dent in usage needs. Still, if you're going to flout that convention I don't think you can make a more compelling bet than with the sim's best rebounding edge and the most blemish-free assist monster. There are ways to go wrong from here, but I'm a big fan of the start.

Never used Bird in all my years in this league, and I'm digging the pairing with Moses.

It feels like Moses goes way to low in this league.

My "theory" on this. I personally rarely use Moses, especially in this league for 2 reasons. I and my main one, I don't like his high tov%, I barely tolerate it in my high assist PGs ( you hear that stockton?! better get your sh** together!). I feel that away about Dwight Howard, Moses, and a certain other high D, Reb, and efg player yet to be picked. You can pick a lower tov% Moses but then his efg takes a dip.
The other reason is in these higher capped leagues their isn't a lot of missed shots so OReb% is less valued....maybe??? To counter point my own point here, those OReb% would logically be valuable if facing teams that shoot a lot of 3s which more and more teams are in this league.

PS These are just my own musings because I am bored waiting for my pick, ya'll need to pick faster

He was a lock for the top 10 and sometimes the top 5 way back when I first started playing in this league. I think the case can still be made that he should be picked in, say, back half of the first round, but the truth is I can't remember the last time he was on a title team. As it is, I believe he's wicked good value in the early second.

I had Moses last year and definitely thought he added value to the team, despite the TO issue. I was going to pick him again, due to K Leonard's low TOs balancing that out. Ended up getting his slightly lower usage clone a few picks later after I traded.

Half my proxy list is gone, but interestingly my #1 guy is still available, probably won't be though when I finally get to go. But to be honest I kind of like my third guy who I guess now is my second guy a little more but I'll keep my proxy list the way it is

I think Marion goes great with Lebron. Another good rebounding good defending and high efg multi position player. I think they pair perfectly with someone who never gets picked in this league and I’m excited to use this player.

Changing strategy as you all are super smart and took all the guys I was looking at (basically) If I get the guys I am wanting ya'll are gonna think I am insane............ that or genius. Matter of perspective really. But those guys I want will probably be picked before I get them anyways so its a moot point.

Again posting on here bc YALL PICK TOO SLOW Doesn't anyone else have big chunks of free time in their office right now like me? Geez

Now you have me worried that you’ll try and pick the same player as I want.

It's still early, but Jokic, Dray, and Pippen is a really intriguing start.

		Name	Team	Pos	Usage%	2pt%#	3pt%#	eFG%	OReb%	DReb%	Ast%	Stl%	Blk%	Salary
		LeBron James	12-13Heat	SF	30.4	60.0	40.4	60.3	4.2	19.1	24.2	2.1	1.4	$9,568,985
		Shawn Marion	06-07Suns	SF	19.5	58.5	31.6	56.1	6.6	21.1	5.2	2.3	2.3	$8,410,156
		Al Horford	17-18Celtics	PF	18.4	50.6	42.7	55.3	4.7	19.0	18.8	0.8	1.9	$5,509,278

Pretty solid 1-3. Not to get ahead of myself but I think this team will end up being a title contender if I can finish building it the way I’d like.

Pippen in the third seems like a major steal. Rebounding and assists everywhere.
