^ just depends how high the cavs are on tucker. At #2 I’m happy with whomever falls to me.

The real life storylines are interesting either way. Akeem and Sampson together just like in real life, or MJ actually going to the blazers in 84

Would have really enjoyed having MJ but Olajuwon was a perfect fit with Harper and Tucker. Works out great for Portland too.

Honestly I had Akeem number 1 as well. He’s more of a sure thing. But I’m very happy with MJ

Short term Hakeem. Long term Jordan. Either way two great players.

Top four will be really interesting. Barkley and Stockton have the name behind them but not being the top tier prospects will be interesting how nice training camp will be for them. Barkley had good grades, Stockton has the potential but his grades only had one B-...

If I had top four picks, I probably would of picked the same guys in same order

Had the same worry so was considering Bowie here, but had a hard time passing up on Stockton. Was hoping Barkley would fall to me, but I think the top 3 was pretty obvious. Curse the lottery gods

Yeah I think Barkley was clear # 3

I was hoping Stockton might fall to 6

Haha, definitely was a possibility. His ratings aren't that impressive but I'm hoping his actual numbers end up better.

I kept going back and forth on Perkins or Willis but TK made the decision for me. Willis at PF will fit much better than Bowie would.

I think Willis will really help complement Sampson and MJ though

Didn't think Bowie would drop to me but you know I can't pass up a Center. Especially an all upside big man
