I'm still smarting over having Pippen and George the top 2 on my board with 2 picks before me, then having them be the two picks right in front of me. Though I've consistently failed with George in the past, so maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
I’m not a George fan. Against my better judgement I picked him last time and it wasn’t great.I’m not even sure what’s off. Maybe his weirdly bad 2pt%?
How can you not be a George fan? Honestly, I think Paul has always been my favorite and I will always be upset about what happened to John, but George is a very interesting guy and funny, too. I think Ringo is an underrated drummer and I am amazed at how well he is doing now, especially when you consider all of the serious health problems he had as a child.

My Not Under Any Circumstances list is going to be tested I think. It seems like many of them are on your lists too.

I had two guys locked in and then was thinking through what would be available later and made a last minute pivot to Tatum. This can't be a good thing. Let the Valanciunas and Tatum layup lines begin!

I like what I have put together, which will probably put me on the edge of relegation again. I did try to go quite a bit different after I noticed some clear things missing on my last team. So far Joker and Drummond have Brand to try to help with their defensive shortcomings and Danny Green will bring defense and the low usage three-point shooting I was needing.

I like where I am at because the players I am targeting in the later rounds should fall in reasonably well, provided I am not clearly deluding myself. Which is a possibility.

I haven't had much success with Dwight in leagues but all my data says he is very good. I am not too high on Stockton personally but I am much lower on specialists than consensus. Really liked the Valanciunas pick.

Billups was a tremendous pick. Personally I think you gotta go guard again with your next pick based on my experience with that lineup.

Pretty strange to have two bigs who can't defend, neither of which can play SF, next to a really good 3 position defender in Brand. You neuter one of Brand's best skills and amplify Jokic and Drummond's biggest weaknesses.

Skill wise you have one of the best raw collections of talent, but you have a lot of work to do to make it fit together.

I wanted to go Camby so bad it hurt in round 3. I think one of my biggest weaknesses the past few seasons has been skirting usage too much, so I decided to make sure I didn't do the same thing every time where I pick one higher usage guy & two specialists right off the bat. So I went with the ultra low minutes Christian Wood. I don't like starting with two low minute guys in Holiday & Wood, so was hoping I'd snag Lucas in round 4 who could give me a lot of what I wanted with a ton of minutes. I got midged. It's okay, though, as I also really like Jarrett Allen here despite the low minutes and the average defense. Looks like I'm going to be going all out on offense and hoping to outscore folks at this point.

Jerry Lucas has been my guy a few times in a row. Bummed he is going somewhere else.

I am having major regrets taking Marion in the 3rd. I do not regret passing on Pippen because I just hate him so much for his role in ruining my 1990's that if he never ends up on my roster I'm ok with it. Marion does a few things well but he has sort of handcuffed me in what I will have to do in the future to cover my flaws.
