Summer 2021 Fantasy Draft: Draft Thread

[Who]

I like the versatility of the Lebron/Jaylen duo. They can be used as a 2/3, 2/4 or 3/4 duo, so I can be fluid with my next picks

Yep, I had the same idea with Luka. Love the combo of Jaylen next to a big playmaking wing (LeBron, Luka or Harden). Great pick.

I was really looking at a half court based game given who I thought might be available at #6, but when Lebron fell in my lap, that all changed.

Sorry Who.

I look forward to watching you two poach each other's binkies from under the opposite nose

Oh man, two drafts in a row with pick slots near each other and somewhat similar types of players to build around. Dr J and Giannis (athletic forwards who attack the rim) and now Luka and LeBron (playmaking big wings).

Well, I clearly got my BINKIE, not a binkie. And his transition offense alongside Lebron should be deadly.

It will be, undoubtedly. LeBron will also get JB a lot of open looks with how much attention he draws. Very fun on offence.

Okay, so no Jaylen Brown to play Pippen to Luka's MJ. Or Worthy to Luka's Magic, that works better playing style wise.

Anyways ....

The Knicks are going to roll with Zach LaVine.

A premier scorer and shooter to play off of Luka's playmaking and provide some secondary ball-handling of his own.

The offense is cool but I really like the defensive versatility that Jaylen provides. His ability to matchup 2-4 is huge for lineup versatility. Especially around a guy like LeBron who is quite versatile himself.

Wow! Didn't see that coming, but given Lavine's insane newfound efficiency this makes a lot of sense. Tough tough duo to stop

After debating between two players at the position, the Warriors gleefully select personal binkie and absolutely perfect running mate and defensive partner for their ace, a bruiser who can shoot, run, defend, and facilitate without an ego. Bam Adebayo.

Saw that coming from a mile away.

If someone took JB, LaVine would have been my pick.

Love it. This is who I envisioned alongside Luka as the ideal big-man pairing. Bam can do it all

Who fascinates me when he plays these games. He always goes with the fun, fast-paced offenses, which makes for some awesome teams. I think that one of the main downfalls in these types of games is overthinking and overly favoring fit over pure offensive talent (which I think I've done in the past).

With the 11th pick of the second round, the Milwaukee Bucks select Chris Paul.

Was wondering when he'd go off the board. I like this pairing. It's very villainous to Celtics fans, but it is very very talented.

I always like his drafting philosophies. That historic draft when he paired KD, Nash and some Spaniards was really awesome.

[RPGenerate]

Man, my draft board is starting to run a bit dry for next round. My top 25 is getting close to being gone.

[RJ87]

With the 12th pick of the 2nd Round, the Houston Rockets select....

Kyrie Irving

That was who I expected.  Very good pairing with Giannis.
