Hield is much better for KanMan's team, and Smart is better for yours.

Smart+Dame>>>>Heild+Dame

Sent Vinnie my picks.

i like smart for your roster more, a dame/buddy backcourt is a little too worrisome on defense. you have plenty of ways to create offense with your other 4 dudes.

Yeah, but a Smart/Anyone backcourt is a little worrisome on offense

am I up?

I'm kinda torn between value and fit here.

go ahead. we can skip RT

I'll take JJ Redick. I think hes great value here. I get why people are scared of his age, but....

-Hes played 78, 75, 78, and 70 games the past 4 seasons
-He entered the league at 22 and his never been a huge MPG guy, so not a ton of wear
-He should age very similarly to Ray Allen skillset wise
-Hes really f*cking good at basketball. Perhaps the most underrated player in the league. Constantly on winning teams, great floor spacer, underrated defender, can create some offense, etc.


Team:

Oladipo
Wall
Horford
Gallinari
Redick

Pretty sweet small-ball lineup, can def be used when trailing and needing to increase variance. Gives Wall amazing spacing when the ball is in his hands. Assuming his ego is ok with it, I might experiment with Wall off the bench. Not sure if this is a real thing or not, but it feels like getting fresh John Wall against tired starters(sub him in ~5 min into the game) or reserves would be sick. Obviously I need some more size on my team both on the wing and in terms of rim protection.....will focus on that in coming rounds, but I thought the value was too much to pass here.

Just turned 34 a few days ago. Yeesh, dude has been around forever

Looks like a pretty good team but I would have liked to see you go a bit younger there. Think bringing Wall off the bench is pretty large FPS which is something you were against earlier. Heavy staggering makes a lot more sense I think.

I have large worries about Gallo long term at PF. I think he's just too injury prone.

gallo games played per season

28, 71, 62, 48, 12, 40, 71, 27, 53, 63, 21

This round is moving slow as fook hahha, have everyone checked out?

Yea Gallo being made of paper mache is definitely a thing

I'll take Bobby Portis. Last season he shot 77% from the line and 36% from 3 on 3.1 attempts, and he has doubled his attempts from 3 each year in the league this far.

Team:

Simmons
Booker
Ingram
Portis
Randle

that ruins my hope of reuniting portis and mirotic

It didnt look like he was going to make it in the league to start off, but he persevered

He def is a scrappy gym rat.

can you get jdowell/charder?

Portis was going to be my pick, until I noticed the huge dearth of 3s (that fit the 5 year timeline) after OG and Prince.

I’m going with Serge Iblocka. He will work well with Jokic on the defensive end providing some toughness. Offensively he spaces the floor. Shooting 36% from deep this past season and a career 36.7% from 3. He will still be in his twenties this upcoming season.

Interesting round in terms of ages...

WSOP going on afaik.

We can also throw Serge out there in small ball lineups at the Center position.

I wonder how Serge is going to play when he's 56 in year 5 of this draft

Lmao
