It's going to be fun figuring out what the hell position to play all my handlers at.

Bulls got a huge steal in LB at 19.

Looking at Jackson's current ratings he already looks like a decent starter..

Gonna check rooks when Im back home.

I was really close to taking Birutis at 14 but I already have a bunch of bigs so decided to swing for the fences on Derrickson.

Overall, relatively unimpressed- as expected. No real draft envy after seeing most guys. Some intriguing numbers but nothing stands out for me.

Except Melton of course. Bona fide stud like we predicted.

This class come in a lot less raw than I expected, as it looks like some guys can be day 1 contributors already. Happy with some of my rookies as well.

Happy with Sexton’s current ratings, had most of them figured out. Just hope his shooting catches up.

Metu is as expected, good defense already but raw elsewhere.

Pinson is a bit more raw on defense than I expected but offensively not bad.

As expected, as I already had Brown very well defined. Fortunately he is raw enough where he needs to be to come very close to his potentials.

As for Vanderbilt, I'll have to check my spreadsheet because I thought his handles were better.

After looking it over, I feel like Fultz looks like the better of JJJ and him.

Overall, I feel like this class is strong with contributors into the 2nd round.

As for my guys, Gates looks like a bonafide stud and I think I would have taken him 1st overall given how rare a player like him is and the impact they can have for a team in this engine and the next. Davon Reed is literally a twin to Mikal Bridges where Bridges has slightly better defensive potential, but not much and everything else is identical. Pretty happy to land him that late as a 3&D player.

Blakeney will score in bunches and Yuta is the new asian sensation (come get him Gary).

LiAngelo though is going to be the next superstar. He will score at will and steal literally everything that comes his way both on and off the court.

It's correct. I had him 52-60.

Have we ever had a player with a jumper that good? I feel like most of the people I scout are in the 30s and mid 40s at best.

Zak Irvin last year. He was on my roster after all star break. He was very nice until he went cold...

Gates looks a monster defensively so the Pistons knocked that one out of the park.

Spewing the Bulls took my target one pick ahead of me. Birutis looks the goods and could have gone top 10 with what I'm seeing.

Some good lower picks too like Spellman and Melton... and of course MVP candidate Alize Johnson.
