This is a fun draft for an observer because every team is so talented that the combinations are endless. Sharing some observations as a neutral -- although I would say every player in this draft is so absurdly good that the distance between tier 1 and tier 3 is effectively marginal. Not much to put between anyone in the league so far. Congrats to everyone on nobody pulling the trigger on a 7th round talent too early

.
Tier 1
Orlando Magic -- The most understated team. Love the idea of putting CP3 next to heart of champions type players in Duncan and Pierce. Needs a little sizzle but it's maybe the smartest trio (in terms of players and in terms of fit).
NY Knicks -- I don't love Embiid in this format but Nash and KG is maybe my favorite duo. Younger KG getting up and down the floor with Nash would be so tantalizing, and KG can serve as a defensive sweeper to cover for Nash. I loved that. I'm not sure I love how Embiid fits in (injury history, less likely to run with Nash and KG, lives in the same areas of the offensive system as Embiid) but with the right construction you can probably create a few combinations that work really well (e.g., Embiid-centric second unit). That would be cool.
Boston Celtics -- It's only two guys, but they are the best duo or second-best duo in the game. Probably the best. I think there's plenty of talent left. Obviously Roy needs to nail the next couple but that's true for everyone.
Tier 2
Cleveland Cavaliers -- This team probably has the highest potential but just needs to really nail the next 2-3 picks. Insane talent but I agree with some of the defensive questions and have some quibbles around spacing (likely Lebron years was iffy, plus Shaq, plus Luka is low key just an okay three-point percentage shooter). Put the right glue there and you've got something unique.
Chicago Bulls -- The throwback team! I really do love the Chauncey and Kobe pairing, I think that's an incredibly smart backcourt. What a frustrating duo to go up against. Kobe got some reputation-based All-Defense teams but they are long, strong, and frustrating. Chauncey can play off ball and let Kobe be more dominant. Smart. Gasol and Yao both can give each other space and let there be room to operate. I have them here because they're just so slow and they don't as obviously have the three-point shooting. Can they translate to today's game with that frontcourt? Maybe. It'll depend on the matchups I think.
OKC Thunder -- I like the Durant and SGA pairing although I agree with the commentary about them being both ball dominant and SGA not succeeding as well in a #2 role. I fall on the "meh" side of the Gobert pick, metrics be [dang]ed.
Philadelphia 76ers -- Just AD and Harden so far, right? This is more of an "incomplete" one for now.
Toronto Raptors -- I love Wade, Leonard, Marion, Gasol. Man, what a hard team to play against. Good luck for 48 minutes. Together...something just feels...missing, still. The shooting is just okay. Wade can playmake but playing him at PG and Leonard at SG feels like it's missing cohesion and facilitation. Gasol helps with some of that because he's so good at it as a center. I can't quite place it, just feels a bit too clunky and reliant on Wade magic.
Tier 3
Indiana Pacers -- Jokic is a monster. This is going to get me banned from the forums but I'm not sure I love the "it" factor between Tatum and George, and George in particular I feel like I just rate lower than where he was picked. He had one really great season but I think people will reflect on him as chronically overrated and someone who can't make it in the final stages. Maybe that's just me being down on him.
Milwaukee Bucks -- Draymond is great, but I don't see it as a small forward. And I think it's a struggle next to Dwight offensively. I loved the Dirk and Dwight combo...a little lost with what to do with Draymond. I do think Draymond will have lots of trade value so I could see the Bucks being a mover / shaker later on and he's a valuable asset.
