2023 CS Historic Draft Thread - Results in OP!

I was fiercely debating with myself whether to pick in him in the previous round, but I went with DJ instead.

I wonder what Moranis is cooking, since he said the pick might take until his actual time.

He has surprised me at every turn thus far (besides R1), so I'm hoping for more of that. Keeps it exciting

[Moranis]

I am out for work, so limited time. Wanted Price, so will go with probably best defensive PG left and take HOFer MO Cheeks

[gouki88]

Despite Price being a tier ahead of the remaining guards on my board, there is still some serious talent left there. A lot of it, actually

Cheeks is very solid at this spot. Was a very good player for a long time. Not many 6'1 players who can average over 50% from the field for their 14 year career

[RPGenerate]

I like Mo Cheeks. He a really nice fit for these types of games, where it's inevitable that a couple players will need to take a step back. Tenacious defender, and a really underrated passer. Although I do have a couple point guards who I rank above him at this point.

Trade details:
Orlando sends: Blake Griffin + 10.5

Chicago sends: 5.5 + 6.12

Wow! That is a steep, steep price to pay for Blake. I would have been shocked if he wasn't there a few picks later. The Bulls sure know what they want and go after it.

I was struggling with Blake. I looked at his shooting stats from earlier in his career and he really struggled with his jump shot. And then could play defense against athletes but couldn't block a shot for his life. Feels like he never fully put it together when he was at his peak.

A fun player nonetheless. T-Mac, David Thompson, Blake? Is that right? LOL. They may need a few extra rims after all those dunks.

[RPGenerate]

Tbh I didn't even think Blake was eligible Although looking at the rules, he's fair game. Really good pick.

There are some more talented players, but I wanted the tenacious defender

[Moranis]

I didn't think Blake was eligible since he played last year.

So did Iggy. I thought it was based on who had signed a contract for this season?
