2015 2nd Team All NBA Selection just went. That's value, even if he is up there in age.

[Inqui]

BmoreBird22 is up and online, and I've just PMed him to see if he's still around. Worst case, I've got his pick ready and my own set to follow it up soon after.

Good pick in Hayward. I know I'm a pick away, but I'm deliberating my choices at the moment.

Had a great season tbh. I wanted a 4 who could stretch a little, so I was praying Boshy fell to me, but ofc he didn't  :<

Sorry fellas. I just didn't expect the players who are there now to be on the board and I know none will likely be there once I pick again since I'm at the very end of the round. I promise I'll get these picks submitted as soon as I'm ready.

Love the Al Jefferson pick. Was so close to taking him

[Inqui]

Pretty epic gamble on Jabari, but he was my favourite prospect in last year's draft (no way he makes it back to me), he showed signs of really bringing it together before his injury, and ultimately I think his knee will be fine.

[Inqui]

Also, there's a pretty big discrepancy between the posted pick numbers and the big board, so I just got my last pick in like with the board.

We're not going by the big board though. The numbers are supposed to go sequentially.

[Inqui]

Either way I've got BmoreBird22's next pick in case he's done for the night. I'll give it a few more minutes to see if he's still around.

Probably one of the hardest choices I've ever had to make in this game. I had a prime target rated above Dwyane Wade but I had to pass on him because I couldn't pass up Hassan Whiteside. Whiteside's sample size may be limited, but he was an absolute monster when on the floor. He was an elite glass cleaner, he was efficient offensively, often scoring via shook shots, and he was one of the best rim protectors to boot. He even showcased an underrated mid-range game where he shot over 40%. In small ball line ups, he's the ideal center considering that he offsets the size and strength difference in the paint. That being said, I decided on Wade because of his ability to distribute. Knowing that I have a capable passer on the roster allows me to wait on the PG position without tearing my hair out, and with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George being rock solid shooters from beyond the arc, Wade would be allowed to operate inside of the arc without creating spacing issues.

Love the Whiteside pick. I had him rated just below Gobert as far as big men go. He has an even smaller sample size, but at his peak was dominating at both ends. While I think Wade is a shell of his old self at this point of his career, I understand taking him as he likely wouldn't make it back.

Btw. I'll take your pick. I guarentee you your target isn't mine so you can trust me

Dunno who's taking this pick, but you're up again.

Rats. Was hoping Jrue Holiday would fall due to the injury concerns. Am beginning to feel better about the Wade selection.

[-Truth-]

Great pick in Lawson. He has some struggles defensively but was so good at finding the open man especially after pump faking on the drive.

[Sons_of_Eli]

So wait, am I on the clock?

Thank you. I was hoping for either Gobert or Whiteside, and my mind was made up the moment that Gobert went. Agreed on the sample size, and what helps Gobert is that he showed flashes of dominance the season before so projecting Gobert's floor is easier to do. Exactly that on Wade. He's certainly not what he used to be in his prime but I'll take a solid two-way player with passing ability at this point.

Pretty much what I was looking for too tbh.
