Probably not the right move. But hey' it's my team.

I wish I knew where LR was heading before making that pick. I probably should have waited for him.

The Suns having 3 draftable cores in a 10 team draft is pretty rough

I'd be surprised if Snakebites doesn't pick the core with the BPA

KD/Westbrook fell way too far. Yes I'm aware I'm responsible for that.

The LR no show is concerning at this point.

How?

You can take a player better than Reggie and Butler still.

Shaq seems like the best pick here, really annoying to match up with him in this pool as nobody wants to spend their All-NBA on a defensive center

Happy to grab the Thunder core + Klay. Was out and didn't have much time to ponder the choices. Obviously a million different directions I could've gone in. Larry_Russell could easily make two picks now and have a nice team.

Yeah, I'd personally stick with it if I were you.

Best make some picks now though.

Fun draft. Not sure if I made mistake not going for the core

Durantbird could take over Larry's team if he is still interested

Not sure if this just means I'm an idiot, but a core I was considering with the first pick is still there. :lol:

Thank god. Did NOT need Ray Ray slipping any further.

The fact that he fell that far after I took Reggie annoys me, but it also sorta makes me feel like it didn't matter what I did.

Could be an unpopular take, but I prefer a shooter with Stock/Malone.

And yeah, I'm enjoying this quite a bit. Credit to Laimbeer for the original idea.

Butler and Murray were the two individuals I strongly considered. I just didn't want to be restricted by Butler's lack of outside shooting or Murray's relatively high cost for a PG. You can definitely build around both of those limitations, but it gets dicier when you have this long of a wait for your next pick(s).

Yeah, you kind of have to play it safe with the first pick in an unpredictable draft like this.

I actually considered a core that included Butler. That ship has sailed now though.

Murray is hard to peg because it's clear he benefits immensely by playing next to Jokic. The question is how much does a scorer of Murray's caliber benefit by playing next to, dare I say, the best offensive player we have ever seen.
