IMO I would have liked to see UK switch out Drexler and Cooper. Either way this is a very close one. Really like that fit for Sushi in the 2nd. I think Sushi wins the 1st even with KD going off, then Sushi keeps the 2nd close enough to keep the lead. Sushi in a very close one. Two great fit teams here, not surprised

I have no idea at the voting though. I just don’t understand it. I have essentially 4 HOF in my first half including Klay, and lost to a team that put Mahorn, Rollins and Cooper in the same lineup.

Kobe, Bowen and Garnett as Defender’s is the best 2-4 in this draft. Got Sabonis as a big man passer. Price for the pick and roll and floor spacing. They’re not losing a huge lead that the first half builds.

Probably just me being salty though.

for me sabonis killed it because he just wasn't the same sabonis by the time he got to the NBA and I was giving him full credit for who he was in his younger years

Man I thought it was close just like it turned out.
Bowen was a good defender but he's not checking a prime Bird. Plus Bird's ability as a passer raises that whole unit. You also brought up defense, but what about mine? Moncrief, Cooper, DrayGreen, Cowens, Rollins and Mahorn are all stud defenders and I think KD, Bird and even Kyrie are crazy good shooters. I thought it was a tossup, but I think that of almost every series

That matchup in the first is why I chose you. That's expecting KD to carry a pretty heavy load which is something he's yet to show he can do in his career.

The thing is Sabonis is onlybgetting credit for his NBA years but he’s still a net positive relative to my lineup. I get he’s not HOF Sabonis but a 7’3” big who could shoot, pass and not be a liability is huge in this type of draft.
