Welp… John Stockton, discuss

What can I tell you Copernicus, I love Stockton!

Then I took DH up on his trade offer, hoping that Moses would fall to me.
Arrghh he did not! Still hope I can make it work with Duncan and Stockton.

I've definitely never seen Stockton drafted anywhere near that high. Methinks you could have taken Moses at 3 and had a decent chance of Stockton falling to you at dh's pick...but, you know what they say about hindsight.

So, quite a reach. Still, for those of us long-time players in this league there comes a time where you just want to play and experiment, go with your favorites, try out whimsical combinations. I'm all for it.

Anthony Davis (17-18) drafted in the 1st Round. Am I stupid?

I hear you Brad, and you are probably right.
I guess the combo of Moses falling further
down the first round the last few season's,
and not wanting to lose Stockton made me
do it. I got pretty close. It's a shame Moses
is not going as high as he used to.

Stupid, definitely not. Needing to prioritize rebounds the rest of the way, yes.

No. Some of my "value" calculations had him in top 10. My "values" are often wrong, but those with high "values" usually are someone that will significantly help a team win without making them lose much.

Also, like Bird and a few others, he's arguably light on FTA's given his usage.

I have this thing where I suspect high usage with not that many FTAs is actually a neutral or even ok thing because FTAs figure into the IRL/baseline usage equation and the sim just isn't going to give them to you so that high usage/high FTA guy wont effectively be as high usage in the sim as he looks on paper and so here comes some individual penalties - call it a theory

your scansion is completely off and the enjambment scheme makes zero sense to me - I do see some internal rhyme and alliteration fwiw
