[Jvalin]

Jalen Williams

• NBA champ
• All-NBA 3rd team
• All-Defensive 2nd team
• All-Star

• averaging 22-5-5 on 57.3 TS%

[Who]

Knicks pick Khris Middleton.

I want a shooter behind Iggy at SF.

[Roy H.]

Give me Hedo Turkuglu.

[Moranis]

At a work outing, will draft later.

[Moranis]

The Cleveland Cavaliers will add, Joakim Noah as the first player off their bench. 

In 2013-14, Noah was DPOY, 4th in MVP, an All Star, 1st Team All NBA, and 1st Team Defense.  A guy that doesn't need the ball on offense and is happy to grab rebounds, block shots, generate steals, and pass.  That year he averaged 12.6 p, 11.3 r, 5.4 a, 1.5 b, 1.2 s and led the league with 6.6 DWS (a solid 11.2 WS overall).  He is a classic do everything stat sheet filler that will fill in nicely when Shaq is resting.

[Moranis]

won't be tonight, still tossing around some ideas in my head, but can earlier tomorrow.

I had forgotten to label some DPOYs in the team thread, where MVP and DPOY winners are denoted. That should be fixed now, but let me know if I missed anyone. You can PM me to make changes to your listed roster there or to specify seasons:

Might as well get this started early to allow more time for people.  With their 7th pick,  the Cleveland Cavaliers will select, Gerald Wallace.

In 2009-10, he finished 3rd in DPOY voting, was 1st Team All Defense, and made the all star team. He averaged 18.2 p, 10.0 r, 2.1 a, 1.5 s, 1.1 b adding 6.2 DWS and 11.5 WS overall.  He didn't shoot a lot of 3's but hit at 37.1% and shot basically his career average from 2 at 50.3%.  Best player (though not the 1st option) on a Larry Brown coached playoff team.

I will be largely unavailable for the day. I gave Roy a list for 75 and 79 as to not hold things up. Thanks again Roy!

But for pick 62, I?ll take Gordon Hayward

[Who]

Knicks take Jaren Jackson Jr

That will give my team a three player big man rotation of KG, Embiid and JJJ. 3 seven footers. All shot-blockers. JJJ a stretch PF/C. A good complement to KG and Embiid. Plus, JJJ should work well with Nash.

[Jvalin]

Derrick White

[snively]

Well, gonna break with my triangle-influenced philosophy with this next pick.

The Bulls are gonna take Deron Williams to run the bench offense.

[Roy H.]

I thought for sure this dude would get sniped before me.

I'm taking Victor Oladipo and his phenomenal 2018 season.
