Okay, that hurts. That was my top 3 guys taken in the 3 picks right before me. #1 Jimmy #2 Ant #3 Ray.

So close ... yet so far.

There is one guy that jumps out to me for your team that I think is great value. Curious who you pick

[Who]

The Knicks are going to take Manu Ginobili.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

The Orlando Magic round out their starting 5 with Chris Bosh

LOL this was literally the guy, and was my #2 choice at #34 sandwiched by Klay/Ray.

Nicely done as usual, Who

[Moranis]

Despite having to use his rookie year, the Cleveland Cavaliers will select the defensive freak Victor Wembanyama. 21.4/10.6/3.9 with 3.6 bpg and 1.2 spg in just 29.7 mpg over 71 games. 2nd in DPOY voting, ROY, and 1st team all D.  He slots nicely between Shaq and Lebron in a formidable defensive front.

Interesting pick.

I realized a mistake I made with Wemby during the 2nd/3rd round. I only considered him as a C and not a PF. By then I had already taken KG so I was just thinking of Wemby as a backup PF.

Anyway, I really like Wemby as a PF. I didn't rate him as a C because I thought all the top Cs would make mince meat out of him there. But he can play PF. His lack of strength there is less of an issue and his enomorous height and length will better mask the issue.

Fun pick. I love Wemby & Shaq together.
