I was really torn between Lebron and Harden at 5 and leaned towards Harden because he'll be there later in the season while Lebron will be getting random rest.

Our first round was kind of weird. Still can't believe the Giannas - KAT one/two combo. They'll both be monsters, but I kinda think you need a 3 point shooter or a defensive stalwart superstar in 9 cat leagues. Giannas will be fine even though he doesn't shoot 3's but KAT doesn't shoot enough 3's or get enough assists/defensive stats to make up for a Lebron/Durant/Harden production

Kat is gonna play a lot more minutes than those guys in all likelihood so I think it's defensible.

Minutes aren't a stat, though

e: to cover all bases, KAT's increased minutes aren't going to change that he doesn't really get defensive stats, nor does he make as many threes or get as many assists, as the guys listed. So in the end all his increased minutes mean are that he needs more minutes to compete in points and contribute in rebounds, meaning if he starts getting less minutes for whatever reason then it hurts you even more.

He's going to play more minutes cause he's gonna play more games. There will be weeks where Durant and Lebron are sitting or half assing as their teams cruise to a top 2 seed and Towns is playing 35 minutes in 3 different games. Tanking a week cause old men on good teams get rest days and rest minutes can be a big deal. Reliability is a major factor

I can see the argument, plus KAT might suddenly become a lot better at getting those steals and blocks that separate big men into the elite category. He's still incredibly raw and has so much more room to grow even though he's already a 25/10 guy in the NBA as a center. I still would have went Harden or Westbrook at 2 if you're worried about people getting benched though.

Either way it's not that egregious. The original issue was that Movie Majick got Lebron with the 10th pick which definitely shouldn't have happened. I love Jokic and Davis but Lebron's much more valuable and reliable than both of them in 9 cat. Same could be said about Chris Paul now that he's getting a bit on the old side. Steph/Harden/Westbrook are all preference if you want more assists than what Lebron can bring or a guaranteed win in the 3pt made category. Durant/Giannis/Lebron just get so many points, assists, rebounds, 3's, blocks, and steals that they're like guaranteed playoff appearance guys if you take them.

Also this was a super stacked draft this year and any one of Cp3, Cousins, Davis, Leonard, Jokic, Kyrie, John Wall, or even fringe guys like Butler, Rudy, Whiteside, Kemba, Conley, or Paul George coulda snuck into the first round. It feels like every superstar can hit 3's and get steals now, even the centers.

This is a way better description than "he gets more minutes," so I get what you were saying now, thanks. It does make way more sense when you say it that way.

Plus if it's a dynasty format then KAT becomes much more desirable since you have to assume he's going t start to figure out defense eventually.

I'm very confident that by the end of the season Jokic will have the better line, even though he'll probably never put up a night like Lebron just did. As for the rest of my team...well...

drat you for being smart. I really thought our draft woulda been like Westbrook - Lebron - Harden - Durant - Curry/Cousins - and then me getting Giannis. I had my entire draft planned around landing Giannis/Embiid and then nothing but 3's.

I'm still ok with Harden over Lebron since I get more reliable 3's, assists, and playing time, plus he gets steals and blocks, but drat I'd probably change my pick right now if I could.
