Looking to move 5.29. I'd trade it with a later pick for two picks after 5.29.

The first position run of the draft looks to be a center run.

It makes sense.  The last few picks have been auto-picks, and centers still always rate highly in advanced metrics.  Both DeAndre and Whiteside were very, very high on my board.

My board is basically a computation of: VORP + WS + BPM + RPM + WS/48 + PIE + PER (weighted by category)

I did make a few adjustments for players that should have been higher but weren't because of games missed (injury).  Blake I had to adjust up the most (some 50+ spots).  Put him at #15.

I'm going to be interested to see how far off advanced stats are versus subjective opinions.  Kind of an experiment, if anything.

I'm using most of those metrics for reference then making my own order. Your way sounds a lot more scientific.

I also had a run on centers on my board (in fact I called a run on centers to end the 1st/start the 2nd in a slack convo with AirBelinelli)

Any thoughts on teaming up Irving and Drummond?

Bad luck to miss out on Millsap. He dropped pretty far.

Like teaming up Jackson and Drummond so you know they will fit together. Except Iriving is a lot better than Jackson.

That would cause a big problem in the pick and roll.

I have no idea how I'd rank Jordan, Drummond, and Whiteside?

Like teaming up SOME GUY OFF THE STREET and Drummond so you know they will fit together. Except Iriving is a lot better than SOME GUY OFF THE STREET.

That would cause a big problem in the pick and roll.

That order seems right to me. Jordan the most proven defender. Drummond quicker and better defensively than Whiteside.
