I had a feeling that was where loldolphins was going and why I was confident in not getting sniped. For me it was a toss up between the two but felt a significant edge towards the guy I'm going to draft anyway.
With Cousins a star in the front court, I wanted shooting in the back court. Someone with tremendous range, the best in the league not named Steph, who will space the floor, but who can also create and score on his own. With Crowder in place to lock up other teams best players, I'm ok sacrificing a little bit on defense here. Plus with the draft inexplicably snaking after this round, this was my last chance to be sure I locked up a top 6 player at his position, which we now have 3 of our 5 spots.
Similar to dolphins, drafting Crowder also allows me to overpay here for one of the best shooters in the game and someone who will provide plenty of scoring, and will rise to new heights once he's freed from DAME. Patriot League in the house!
