2020 Historical Draft Thread: Draft over. Playoffs coming soon!

[Celtic Fan Forever]

The Philly 76ers will draft Kawhi Leonard.

Was hoping to get him at 9, good pick

The Philly 76ers will draft Kawhi Leonard.

Now this is a hot pick. Can't argue with it if wdleehi is just looking for a resilient high efficiency volume scorer with excellent ball protection though.

The Philly 76ers will draft Kawhi Leonard.

Wow! Didn't see that coming (was actually hoping he'd fall ... can see I wasn't alone).

Considering how amazing he was in Toronto that's a good pick. A guy who can up his performance in the playoffs like that and be such a terror on defence is a worthy pick

The Philly 76ers will draft Kawhi Leonard.

OOOF! I really thought he'd drop at 12 and make him my pick in back to back Historical Drafts.

Nice pick.

He took your binkie from the last draft 

[Who]

Boston Celtics take Kevin Durant with 7th pick.

Who with the excellent picks per usual, he was my clear cut guy at #6. Just an incredible scorer who has developed a decent passing game in recent years.

Yep. I was already planning on building around Kawhi again in this draft. But hey, now I pivot.

I think this is a high value pick. I had Durant at #3 after LeBron and Shaq.

Yep, he's my #5. Steal of a pick IMO.

[wdleehi]

Had three guys at the same level at this point.  I choose the one I would most enjoy arguing for.

[RodyTur10]

I had Curry #3 on my draftboard. Really hard to overrate the effect on the game of him being on the court.
So an excellent pick at #5 in my opinion.

Now it gets more unpredictable I think. These first 5 guys taken were always going to be in the top 8.

I have him 4th on my board after Tim Duncan. I agree, e is a steal at #7.

Mind talking about why you rated him so highly (obviously just curious about your reasoning)?

TP. Best way to play this game. Pick guys you like and would like defending.

Probably the best strategy!

Durant is a good pick too. OKC vs GSW Durant is an interesting little debate. Scoring and durability vs defence and playmaking (and rings, but he'd already shown to be a playoff performer)
