beyond thrilled to get nash this late in the 3rd.....i was deciding between and him in klay in the 2nd!

i kinda get it with the bad defense and turnovers but im still surprised no one wanted a part of that amazing efg/ast combo

Based on my Savage 9 experience I made the decision to not pick any player I had drafted in the first three rounds. I feel a little better about this season, but I also know I am just one pick away from blowing everything up.

I imagine this is the last time Luka goes in round 4.

Tha Doncic, Ben Simmons, Jerry West trio being taken was not in my best interest.

I’m pretty stoked about KD+Simmons. Hopefully it works better here than IRL

Yeah I had a mid third round grade on him.

It is an excellent pairing. West and Harden is nice too.

He'll have five seasons next Savage. He might be a 2nd if he keeps up what he's doing right now. Kind of got Harden without the defense (that was ******* weird to say) vibes.

Yeah this current season is an all timer (for the sim). Different between him and harden on offense is luka is not a good ft shooter.

I don’t remember the last time I didn’t draft someone because of ft%. I don’t remember it… because it never happened. In a salary capped league, it just means you’re getting better bang for your buck. In this league… it’s … it’s one of the stats of basketball.

I’m sure you’re right not to care about ft% it just felt like I lost 10 games the one time I used that luka season because he’d clank a couple to end the game.

I had the slimmest of hopes he'd slide to me

Harden without the defense is a funny thing to say out loud. I do wish WIS would take a better look at some of the more modern players and their defensive ratings. Not sure how to solve it, but Whiteside being a plus defender and Tatum being a largely average defender is just wrong.

I think there will be a handful of big movers based on what we're seeing in the NBA. Luka's D rating may hold him back slightly but that 60 TS% with that usage, reb and ast will be pretty appealing

I have to commend everyone so far. People are doing a great job at valuing quality over quantity minutes, and there has been barely any “reaches” or picks that have you scratching your head. Also, this draft speed is incredible. Anything better than 1 round per day is amazing.
Lastly, because it looks like most teams are all drafting well, I predict that will will see the narrowest margin of victory this savage season which I am hoping has great parity.
