Happy to have Cousins.  Struggled a bit with whether or not I felt I got enough value from the second pick (and who that should be), but then I realized that Sacramento and Houston were the only teams with two players in the top 20 in PER this year, so I really couldn't pass that up and my decision was made with Cousins and Thomas (Cousins is 6th in PER, Thomas is 20th).

I was wavering between three teams.  Ultimately I just couldn't pass up Cousins, but it was a struggle with the other two, and I'm sure the team you are thinking of is one of them.

A lot of good picks so far.  normally I'd be thrilled with Cle with Kyrie and AV but with AV's injuries, I'll settle with Deng as a keeper.

Wow, that last pick is looking really good with the #1 selection. Title contender.

Edit: Hmm, surprised Dallas didn't get taken. Or even Brooklyn.

Is there a clear cut number one pick like previous years?

Don't know about a clear cut winner, but the Knicks pick was pretty great as there are no salaries to worry about.

Dallas did come to my mind, but Derozan has been destroying it

I had three players pegged that I wanted after my pick and all three are still there so I really like my position.

quite a few solid teams left, which means the guys who picked yesterday are getting some very strong players.

Eyeing a handful of guys with my first pick tomorrow.

Very happy to get a former MVP in Rose and a possible DPOY player in Noah.

Should be a fun duo to build around.

SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Taj Gibson / Derrick Favors
C: Greg Monroe / Brandan Wright
7.19, 8.19, 9.19, 10.19

I think the only real surprise I've seen so far was Ricky Rubio being selected as a keeper for Minny.  Would have went with Pekovic there myself.

Rubio has been statistically one of the worst PG's in the entire NBA this year.
