Charles Barkley

The values simply too insane to pass up this guy in the 4th round.

D-Wade

The value is great, the fit with magic is iffy.

But he gives you elite perimeter defense at the least which your team needed.

Totally agreed about the fit with Magic, which made me a little hesitant about taking him. But I think what Wade provides makes him worth it. Plus I'd hate to see someone else snag him :lol

You have to wonder at what point do you start going with "fit" rather than drafting the most talented. It's a concept I've struggled with in these past drafts.

I really considered it here, but I just couldn't in good conscience pass up Wade in the 4th round. He's usually taken 1-2 rounds before that, and in his prime he really was just that good. Imo if the talent advantage is significant enough, I'd usually take talent over fit. Wade was at minimum a clear level above whoever else I was considering. And like I said, I also didn't want to cede him to someone else.

In drafts like these I feel there's a deep enough talent pool to be thinking about fit/philosophy from the jump. There's a lot of extremely talented guys left... but I won't pick them in any round because fit/philosophy is more important.

I like 87 Lakers team atm. Three deadly scorers and all nba defence. Interested to see how your teams play out

:cheers:

I need a dead eye shooter on my team. I’m going Klay Thompson.

Wanted D Wade in this spot, but SouBeach grabbed him.

Gotta go McGrady here. From 01-03 he was a 38% 3 point shooter on high volume...on a garbage team with no spacing. Surrounded by Bird and company and...yeah. not to mention the length and athleticism. Fits with my high bball IQ/great passing mold as well. Peak McGrady was right up there with Kobe and I think he fits my team better
