    It is a small sample size, but I see no reason for him to regress.

     

    I agree. I didn't intend for my criticism of small sample size to overlook his talent and game. Gobert is a good pick. Only reason why I said I thought he went a little early is because I didn't know how everyone else in here viewed him and where they would've drafted him because of his small sample size. By the praise of the pick, I believe he wouldn't have been available much longer, so it is a solid pick to get the man you wanted.

    I was wondering where Gobert would end up. I think it's a little early for him (due to lack of sample size), but he certainly has high potential. Elite defense and shot blocking, solid rebounding. If he can expand his offensive game he'll certainly be a real threat. Mostly scores on putbacks/easy layups and dunks, as he his field goal attempts per game are usually low.

    Pretty thrilled to land Mike Conley here. With Harden as my main ball handler, I wanted a defensive point guard who can shoot a spot up three on the catch. Conley fits that bill. I believe he is one of the best defensive point guards in the league. 1-on-1 defense is strong, and knows how to play defense (can trap opposing point guards by allowing them to get to a spot where he knows a teammate will be there). He knows how to run an offense well. Conley and Harden is a pretty strong backcourt in my opinion.

    Yeah I thought Harden and Love would be a nice 1-2, but that defense would be poor. Also, now that he's the second/third man with his stats down, I didn't want to hypothetically assume he's back to 20-12 in this game compared to 16-10 in real life. Only had Green in front for his versatility, defense, and intangibles

    Thank you. Wiggins has the potential to be an elite player and is already a very good defender. He needs to develop a consistent 3- point shot but even then he's a good scorer with the potential to do better. Him and Paul make a good duo.

    Yes and no. It was too early yes but elite defensive players are hard to find. Big reason I took Andrew and Paul was because of their defensive prowess. Draymond just has a firey passion and can guard multiple positions very effectively. He's a capable scorer but isn't great or anything. He can shoot the three.

    It's a reach in my eyes but not an ungodly one. You can build a team around him

     

    This is the main reason why I took him. I was looking at a couple other players, but their defense wasn't on the same level as Draymond's. I already have a 1st Team All NBA scoring machine in Harden, so I wanted to balance the other end of the floor. I love Green's defense & passion/intensity, and I like his offense as well. He is a capable scorer, can find the open man with a nice pass, and can get offensive boards. I like his screen-and-roll game as well.

    This pick was tough. I had a few other guys in mind, each who would've changed the outlook of my team from the start. But Draymond is the type of player I want if I were to build a franchise. Many Warriors said he was the heart and soul of the team. He's an elite versatile defender who does whats needed to win a game. He may not be a top 25 talent in the NBA, but I need a passionate defender and teammate to go alongside Harden. I think his all-around offensive game will grow into next year. Theirs only a few players like Draymond in the NBA, and I like him alongside Harden.
