For this decade, middle of the draft pack may be best .

On 2nd thought, No.

barkley and tree, that's a powerhouse forming

I was really close to taking Tree, but opted for McCray

Malone and Jones is also a powerhouse.

the low usage kept me away, but he was the best player available.

I really wanted to take Pressey, and you can play him at PG, but this era seems stacked at SG/SF/PF, so opted for a pure point in Porter... Might regret that...

I think a team could have 4 SFs in their starting lineup and not miss a beat.

I kinda think I may have messed up my strong start.
Like having Barkley fall in my lap, and like complimenting him with defensive rebounding drone in Tree Rollins....

but feel like I got off track in my "Barkley Build" with the Mullins and Westphaul picks...

I like both, adn think they are fine in this decade, but Im not sure if they compliment Chuck...
I would have liked to land a quality point guard, but the differences between them was marginal in 2nd and 3rd rounds.

I think i went with 'best player'
with thinking that I needed to stack some quality usage with Barkley,
assuming I might have to go low usage in role players and that those 'drones' would be plentaful later on...

Well I took Pressey when I already had Stockton so time to get my head checked. He was the best available so I took him. I am bottom feeding for forwards and big men now though.

I was speechless when I thought Drexler went in the 4th.

not sure what the best path was here but here are my scorching hot takes for this draft:

1) I still like Karl over Moses
2) Reggie King is secretly awesome
3) I don’t really know what I should’ve done in the 2nd round but I suspect this isn’t the best team I could’ve built

I liked the Pressey Pick... I think I remember him being a good defensive cover at multi positions...

Not SUPER impressed with my own team. My Defense in the paint isn't as high as I would like, I am not shutting anyone down there. My Guard play will be phenomenal! Lots of assists, hoping the slight FG% boost will balance out my lack of rebounding, probably won't but hey, it'll still be fun!!
