Siakim and Simmons.
I am jealous of you. I wanted pick the last pick when this started and I think there have been some asinine picks here late.

You have a great chance to pick up a good duo.

With the 20th and 21st pick respectively the Washington Bullets will go with a tallie and a smally they select:

Bam Adebayo

&

Bradley Beal

Bradley Beal somewhat forgotten apparently. There are 2 players averaging over 30 PPG this season. One is James Harden and the other is Bradley Beal. And Bam what can you say, so incredibly versatile, great defender near and around the rim and on the perimeter, over 7 Assists per game, fantastic rebounder over 16 PPG and only 22 years of age. I think he's on track for another stellar year.

Agreed. There are some pretty good potential duos available right now. And he gets the first pick of the third round.

I had a different duo in mind for you, but so many fun combos possible.

There are a few guys left that have no business being left over some of these picks.

I like the Beal pick. He should have gone earlier.

I don't think Bam is a 1st rounder. Just my opinion.

Bam was who I was coveting. Siakin and Simmons got close consideration. He's not flashy but his growth potential is enormous. He is absolutely the kind if player I really enjoy watching and admire. So many facets to his game and can hurt you in so many ways.

I love Beal, but his D was just ass this year. Shitty team and all that, yeah, but I couldn't do it with my first choice. Had he come back around to me, hell yes, absolutely.

Bam though - yeah. He was right there next to Pascal.

Understandable but I think there are a few guys left that are top 15 NBA guys right now. This mid late rd went far different than I expected.

Siakim, Bam, and Simmons. Would have taken whoever was left.

Tube moved up to get one of his guys. I think this is a solid move if he picks who I expect.

To those, I’ll match Tube’s trade as long as he doesn’t take my target.

Mavericks select

Klay Thompson

One of the guys I wanted to pair with Luka. Great with the catch and shoot and moves well withlut the orange. Creating a nightmare for defenses along with Donics skillset.

PG Donic
SG Klay

Klay was towards the top of my next 5. Hoped some people forgot about him. Elite shooting and defense, fits with any star.

would have took Beal before Klay. After I saw you take Beal, I had to move up.

The other guy you mentioned to me would have been a nice pick too, but Klay probably does fit better alongside Doncic than him.

Yes. Believe me, I wanted to take him and it's a farce he is still on the board but he needs the ball too much and so does Luka.

Another two way guy who continued his rise even with Leonard gone. Something like 23/7/4 with solid percentages all around, and emergence as the leader of a 46-win team. With the coaching staff around him, I don't see how he can't keep polishing the rest of his game next season.

The Bucks kick things off with Pascal Siakam.

There are no injuries it says on thr front page.
