I'll take the MVP

Pistons select Nikola Jokic
Nice! I think the possibility in this draft of surrounding the Joker with a better supporting cast than he has in Denver should make for a fun team

That team may be unguardable
I had you taking Jokic, Who. I know you have an affinity for dominant bigs that can pass.

There's a couple of perimeter players I'd love for Jokic to be paired with. Unguardable indeed

The Brooklyn Nets are going to be taking on a much different persona this year.

With the seventh pick, BKN selects Kawhi Leonard.

These 6 players were my top 6 though in a different order

Pretty big drop about to happen IMO in terms of talent, but the ability to place two 7-15 folks together is so juicy. The fit between the next two picks for teams that didn't have the top 6 picks is going to be really fun to watch.

That might be the surprise pick of the 1st round. Thought he'd drop for sure.

Wow!! Risky business. I was thinking about taking him in the 3rd-4th but even then thought it might be tough to argue. High upside though, if you can get through the health issue then the talent is unquestionable.

If people consider him healthy, it's the right spot for Kawhi, but.....

I'm going with the idea that he has a partially torn ACL and will be playing. After winning a chip on a 3rd team, he'll get surgery and miss the year.

That's fair, I guess. If he plays up to what he has in the past, it's definitely a good spot.

That would put him 7 months out since surgery? Maybe, I think March is more realistic with a ton of load management to save him for a playoff run.

Excellent pick.  I'd have Embiid top 3 or 4 in this draft.

I couldn't resist the match-up nightmare he provides. Too big and strong
