  • I'm a Paul Heyman guy.
Dont tell anyone, but im taking an extra 2 minutes of bathroom break to comment on my latest acquisition.

Very Glad to grab Draymond. One of them "do the little things" guy. What he doesnt provide in efficient shootinf, he makes up for excellent defense (can literally cover PG's to PF's), hustle, leadership and great BBIQ.

I'm always a fan of any team that takes Anderson Varejao. Great role player.

I dont think I heard this in the Original Recipe CB Draft...
2019 CStrong Historical Draft 2000s OKC Thunder.
PG: Jrue Holiday / Isaiah Thomas / Larry Hughes
SG: Paul George / Aaron McKie / Bradley Beal
SF: Paul Pierce / Tayshaun Prince / Brian Scalabrine
PF: LaMarcus Aldridge / Shareef Abdur-Raheem / Ben Simmons

Anderson Varejao will be in a suit far too often to be worth a 4th round pick.  Just the reality of where he is at.

His most recent game he played in. That's all that matters in an exercise such as this.

This is the same person who got beat in the CB Draft by a Rajon Rondo who hadent played in 8 months, so to me, unless an injury is career-ending, I essentially disregard them.

You are allowed to interpret injuries however you wish in these drafts.

Knicks have a sneaky good team around Melo.

Well sure but you are talking about a guy the last four years whose games played are 31, 25, 25, 49.  This isn't a one time injury.  This is a guy who is consistently hurt over the last 4 years.  I just can't have a player like that as critical as my 6th man.  Maybe it won't you, but I find that hard to believe.  Sideshow Bob just can't stay healthy.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson

Yeah, Carlos Boozer was good value at this point and Tristan Thompsan is the perfect clean-up man for Melo.

Happy with Ross as my 6th man, who scored 51 points in a game recently, and has excellent 3 point range.  My gunner off the bench and will play him at the 2 and 3 spots.

Really considered Hill last round, but I thought I'd be too boring.

Potential future DPOY candidate, too.

exactly.  If he could stay healthy, he'd have been my keeper instead of Deng

liking my roster so far.  Good players on offense and Defense (well Martin's a tad allergic to D but 1 out 6 isn't too bad at all)
Got Kyrie as my go-to scorer but every starter a more-than-capable scorer and my 6th man is as well.  also, Blatche can play with either Ibaka or Vucevic so I really like the way the team is shaping up.

I don't think Vucevic is a plus defender yet.

Already inquired with Moranis, but if he's unable, is there anybody that can take a list for me today?
