Also, Okafor, Bogut, and Horford is not a bad front line at all given how slim the pickings are going to get.

Some kinda inspired choices in the second round. Barnes, Beaty, Pressey, Yao, Nater...

Actually LTB Zelmo Beaty was a first round pick. I just always liked him.

Pretty happy with Worthy in the 2nd. Always thought he was underrated. He won’t win me a championship or anything, but 4 usage points at 58 eFG%, low TOs and 78 D is pretty good. He deserves more run in general, IMO.

Yep, that's the idea.

I had no recollection of those numbers, especially the D. I tend to look past players that don't bring useful amounts of either boards or assists, but I know you're crafty enough to assemble the right pieces around him.

yea im usually in the same boat ltb...he doesnt rebound well enough to play the 3 and doesnt shoot 3s and pass enough to play the 2

but youre right dbkc...if you can get enough boards and 3s elsewhere he could be a very valuable player....efg% + defense is the most valuable type of player in the sim

whew! im glad mcgrady snuck through for me...now i have someone to build around even if hes my only player right now

has anyone ever had 0 players after 2 rounds?

I mean I’m not arguing for him to be considered a star or anything but I think it’s funny how little he’s used considering:

Siakam:
20.8 USG%, 59.1 eFG%, 5 ORB%, 16.4 DRB%, 11.2 AST%, 1.2 STL%, 1.1 BLK%, 2.9 TOp48, 4.5 Fp48, 70 DEF

Worthy:
22.6 USG%, 57.9 eFG%, 6.3 ORB%, 10.5 DRB%, 8.5 AST%, 1.4 STL%, 1.7 BLK%, 2.9 TOp48, 3.8 Fp48, 78 DEF

+1.8 USG%, -1.2 eFG%, +1.3 ORB%, -5.9 DRB%, -2.7 AST%, +0.2 STL%, +0.6 BLK%, -0.7 Fp48, +8 DEF looks about even to me. Just an observation.

The DRB% is definitely a lil rough but it’s a small price to pay for everything else he gives me considering what was left on the board in the 2nd.

Hey we’ve seen how good of a carryjob he can do in real life from his Orlando years.

Not a bad player to build around, he can do a little of everything.

the threes can't be ignored imo

I mean I give Siakam the slight edge but I’m just saying he’s surprisingly close in value IMO

I agree. I’ve come close several times with him in the ODL and 52, but desperately needed(most likely incorrectly) the spacing.

I'm becoming a little fond of James Johnson. He could be an interesting glue guy on my squad.

Round 3 today right?
