No he isn’t bro

oh shit, for some reason I thought Manny took him. Guess he went with Ray Allen.

Who’s an elite safety in the perimeter and the paint who can run the floor and finish above the rim and at the very least isn’t a terrible shooter?

Gimme Wemby

I had a feeling he would be taken pretty soon.

I was kinda worried about cp3 falling to you. I didn’t really want to bite the bullet, but was seriously considering him despite having Magic already. Kawhi, KD and cp3 core would have been pretty over. Also, yeah it felt wrong taking Wemby when Moses was still on the board, but homeboy can’t shoot at all.

I went Kawhi & Durant as my first picks because I knew how much people value these guys in these type of drafts. Also knew the C spot had lots of talent and most posters select their PG kinda late in these drafts. Being able to snag an MVP player in Embiid & all-time assists|steals leader in Stockton as my 3rd & 4th picks isn't too shabby.

I'm honestly not a big fan of Moses either.

Dat spacing

Both Kareem and McHale can play from the high post dummy. I'll draft another SF that can shoot too.

When I first glanced at that lineup, I thought to myself "That's some pretty nice high end talent", then I had a second look and was like "Oh damn, the spacing needs some work".

Yeah, but if you take McHale off the block he brings no more value than a Laettner, which still isn’t awful I guess. McHale was a super underrated defender though, I can see him being a switch everything guy in the modern league but not sure how much that’d move voters.

Yep. McHale is one of the most versatile defenders ever as well as a great paint protector. Besides Kareem and McHale taking turns at 60% efficiency near the rim is hardly a bad thing. CP3/Kobe + whatever SF I draft will provide the outside shooting and plenty of it at that.

Kobe wasn't a good 3PT shooter and CP3 is fairly low volume/prefers midrange.
