Is Carmelo Anthony Lama's pick?

Don't mind the Horford selection. He's a versatile, solid big man, as he demonstrated that throughout this past year. I also like the Thompson selection. Gasol and Thompson is a nice start.

Really like the Kawhi and George picks. I picked Leonard early in the second round in last years draft, and he solidified his spot at the end of the first in this years. George is a player, too. I hope he bounces back like he never got injured, coming from a Wiz fan.

My bad. I'll delete that post.

Between Harden and CP3 at my pick. I quickly chose Harden after thinking about it for a minute, but CP3 is still a very great player and deserves to go top 10

I can help you out if you want to send me a personal message or whatever

Yeah that's how I was going to approach this. Definitely for next season, as well as future consideration, because it is technically a franchise

True Detectives Starters: PG: Mike Conley SG: James Harden SF: DeMar DeRozan PF: Draymond Green C: Marcin Gortat Bench: PG: Tyreke Evans // Shaun Livingston SG: Eric Gordon // Kelly Oubre Jr. SF: Paul Pierce // Wilson Chandler PF: Josh Smith // Ed Davis C: Omer Asik // Brandon Wright

Yeah I didn't think he would fall to me. Pleased to build my team around Harden.

Are we taking into consideration future years, or just for this upcoming season, since we do a new draft every year. Just wondering for strategic purposes haha

Very surprised to see Deandre Jordan go at #6

With the 7th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft a Franchise, the True Detectives select: James Harden, SG

Im ready to start whenever

True true, the more the merrier. If I recall correctly, we had 15 guys last year when we did this.

When are we gonna get this show started?

Sign me up if it isn't too late

Most exciting player I've ever watched. Thanks for all the memories REEEEEDD

Oh no, I didn't have any problem whatsoever with your assessment of the team. No need to apologize.

Also, I wanted to have champions on my team. Three players on my team haven't won a NBA Championship - Chris Mullin, Kevin Love, and Marcus Camby. Mullin did win two Olympic gold medals though, and Love has a nice chance of winning one during his time in Cleveland. I'm not going to count how many rings I have as a team total, because I don't believe total number of rings combined on a team is a fair assessment of an all-time draft. I do believe winning at least one has an impact though, as championship DNA is important.

Thank you, sir. Defense was definitely on my mind during each selection, as I wanted to find all around players as best as possible. If I was a coach or GM for an actual team, I would try to do the same. Just my personal preference on how to build a team, as everyone has some sort of strategy that can be effective.

This is another weakness I observed as well. I don't have a "reliable" three point option among my starters. Wade can hit threes, but thats not his game. Pippen was pretty solid in bringing the ball up on a semi-fast break and pulling up for three, but in half-court offense, three pointer was not a deadly threat from him. Ginobili and Mullin can certainly make threes, as well as Love, but I'm pretty thin with three point shooters. If I participated in the final three rounds, I would've used at least one selection on a player who was pretty solid at shooting threes consistently. Thanks for your observation.

Thanks for the breakdown. If I continued to participate in the final three rounds, I would definitely of added another center/post player who's strength is offense. When I broke my team down, post play from the bigs on my bench is a weakness I observed. I'll take an A- across the board, appreciate the honesty man.

12 is enough for me as well. This was fun, fellas. Could I get a team grade, Bean? No rush, do it whenever you have time. Thanks.

Sooo who's on the clock?

I'll take a breakdown after all 15 rounds are complete if you're cool with that!
