yeah Kidd is way better than Nash for the reasons stated and also has various seasons where he does other wonderous things too

here's what I am working with so far (thoughts?):

De	MP	Name	Team	Pos	Usage%	2pt%#	3pt%#	eFG%	OReb%	DReb%	Ast%	Stl%	Blk%
80	40	Shaquille O'Neal	99-00 Lakers	C	31.2	57.6	0.0	57.4	11.4	23.3	11.9	0.5	4.4
55	32	Andre Drummond	13-14 Pistons	C	16.8	62.2	0.0	62.3	16.9	26.4	1.7	1.7	2.9
77	26	Montrezl Harrell	18-19 Clippers	PF	23.5	61.4	17.6	61.7	8.9	15.9	8.8	1.4	2.7

Crazy efficiency. Someone will need to pass the ball and space the floor.

Here's a good way to start the day:

blast Sober by Tool into your head via head phones at 100% - make fists or devil horns (at your discretion) - pump vigorously

I like what dh has going so far. I figured once he took Wade that he'd load up on defense.

I'm liking my quartet, too - Duncan, Big Ben, T. Porter, and Jrue - but I can't foresee what sorts of coffee grinds and bread crusts will be available as my SF options at the bottom of the 5th.

Billups/B. Barry/???/Giannis/Walton

That last spot is going to be tough to fill while checking all the boxes I need, but I’m digging my squad so far. Think I’ll be at 80 AST% and 140 CRB% with some good defenders and efficient scorers.

I had a late 2nd round grade on Bam btw - props to whoever snagged him in the 4th.

who thinks I could actually start Kidd and Marion as my backcourt?

I'm too scared to do it but I think it's right

Agreed on Bam.

isn't the matrix 98/99% there in one of the those seasons? you could... but he doesnt really take threes, you think he does but he doesnt, 31% from behind the arc isn't really taking threes, you know, it's just like shooting 47% from mid range

yup...classic d heavy wade team...never tried him with whiteside and i was pretty confident i was going to get a kickass sf(bobby was 2nd choice behind nance) and mookie(ended up with payton - even better!) at the 3/4

i really like the porter/jrue combo in the backcourt...great value at the 3/4 turn after your pf/c start

Yeah, I was crossing my fingers something fierce that Holiday would make it to at the top of the fourth, since he went like mid-third last draft.

Bird, Penny, Jesus, and Domantas. I think more could have been with the draft position, but I kinda like it. Offensive balance and nice efficiency. A good start on pretty much everything, though looking a bit light in the D loafers. The perfect fifth rounder will be a great rebounder and defender who doesn't need the ball on offense. I see one fine prospect still on the board.

Name	Yr	Pos	MPG	USG	eFG	ORB	DRB	CRB	AST	DEF	STL	BLK
Billups	04	PG	36	20.7	53.3	1.9	8.4	10.3	22.7	80	1.4	0.2
B. Barry	01	SG	37	16.2	61.1	2.1	13.7	15.8	17.8	63	2.2	0.7
Joakim	11	SF	30	15.8	50.8	13.2	20.2	33.4	10.6	70	1	2.8
Giannis	18	PF	27	37.5	58.9	7.4	32.7	40.1	20.6	90	1.3	1.8
B. Walton	76	C	28	20.8	52.9	9.4	31.5	40.9	11.8	93	1.1	5

Complaint: We need a clock from round two next draft!

Now to pimp my squad: I'm THRILLED to get MJ and Dr J to build my team around. I HATE mookie Blaylock! His eFG is way too low. as is his 3 pt% but this could be the ONE team he is perfect for! My original plan was to use the Jordan season with 8 reb/gm and 8 ***/gm, but when Mookie was there staring me in the face, I decided to take him and use the usual 89-90 Jordan. Russell alone should give me plenty of O and D/reb and not hurt me too much with his low usage, and I went with CWebb over Noah & Parish, because I wanted not only a low post threat, but a decent big man passer, which Noah does but doesn't offer the low post threat to score I wanted. If I can have enough $$ left to get a halfway decent bench, I think I will be pretty tough to beat consistently.
