Im going davis, curry, followed by harden edging out kat for third,
any objections here?
In H2H i personally put Giannis and Harden above Curry. (Along with AD.)
In terms of rank order i think its too hard to really split them so i think about likely pairings. At the turn on the way back you (picks 22-28) land in a spot where a few quality bigs tend to go off the board (Turner, Collins, Ayton, Drummond). This leads me to rank Harden higher than Giannis.
The plan for the 2nd round is an interesting one. I happen to love a Steph-big man pair, too.
My top four is AD, KAT, then Harden and Curry are pretty interchangeable to me. Harden will produce more stars but Steph will be a lot better with percentages and turnovers and pairs well with somebody like Turner or Ayton.
Or if I am biased, I choose Giannis since I haven’t been able to draft him in four years. Lucking into a Giannis/Drummond pairing and punting FT% would be my ideal scenario.
Basically you can’t go wrong with any of the top five and finding good complimentary pieces is more important.
exatly why i have steph at 2... looking to pair with john collins at pick 22 or best available big. As much as i love KAT, i'm taking a steph-best big pairing over KAT-best guard (who would MAYBE be paul holiday conley - def no guaranttees that paul and holiday would be available)
Good call, Vishal! (I did not rhyme on purpose)
My top 3:
AD
Giannis
Harden
