Well I wanted to wait past both drafts for this, and I had some intense draft's so I didn't have a lot of time to break thus down so here...we go ..
Pg.Russell Westbrook
Was the main target in all my simulations the building block for a long run.
SG.Victor Oladipo
Combo guard w high %'s and solid defensive stats
C. Mark Gasol
Here is where I changed things up, saw some wild picks go over my head got a strong center piece..
Sf/Pf Rudy Gay
Was going insane hoping Gay would fall to me like finding " free money " ....
SG/Sf Danny Green
Still had my head on here got a great % 3pt shooter
Sf/Pf Aaron Gordon
Back on track w my simulations and got a young " most improved player of the year " candidate
Pg/Sg Jordan Clarkson
Was a great chance to upgrade my pg # w a rising star player
C. W.C.S
My young center back up to Gasol my end up starting in Sac.
Sf/Pf Harrison Barnes
Was kinda "mind - blown" that a forward like Barnes was still out there...
SG/Sf Marco Belinelli just a spot up shooter
Pf/C Meyers Leonard
Well here's another "high risk" player he might have a career season...
And on and on to be honest the bottom half of the roster was easily filled w gems like Kyle Anderson , and Seth Curry so a lot to tinker w and enough to be a tough out early...

Thought I'd update for the 2016/ 2017 season: and have a lil PR here...
Pg: Russell Westbrook - we all know him, no need to analyze..although he might be moved before the season is interesting
Sg: Jordan Clarkson - looking to have a breakout year, arrow definitely is up
G: Goran Dragic - still the starter but I'm thinking his playing time might be cut into
Sf: Rudy Gay - the " old man " on the team along w Gasol he might be on his last year on the team
Pf: Cody Zeller - another young big that's got some opportunities now that Jefferson is gone
F: Kyle Anderson - Slo'mo!!...was a long term investment and he's looking for more time with the first unit...
C: Marc Gasol - Big Bang.. Stable vet that i can build on for at least 3yrs... Interestingly enough he avgs a high number of ast....
Uti:Meyers Leonard: has played well enough to survive a year...but I'm watching you
Uti:Allen Crabbe- is a versatile guard that has good %'s
Uti:Mason Plumlee- has a lot of other big's around him could be moveable
Uti: Larry Nance jr- had a big summer league is going to be big in their small ball
------------
On the outside
---------------
W.C.Stien - is going to be in trouble with
Skal coming for his mins
J. Green - could have a nice year but Nance jr has outplayed him so far
PJ Tucker- tj warren might make him difficult to keep
James Ennis- still a backup on any team
Cory Joseph a solid backup may make the cut. L.Babitt- " bring a box "....
Still a work in progress but w the right draft pieces might be good enough for the playoffs...
I'll be ready...

With the draft coming to a close I'd thought I'd do a quick review of my picks w some analysis thrown in...
Wade Baldwin IV pg/sg memphis
6'3 190lbs 10.8 ppg 5.0rebs 3.4asst 2.0stl
With an limited number of games played wade showed right away to be a "playmaking" guard for memphis both on offense and defense looking for his defense to carry him through the season
Kris Dunn pg/sg Minnesota
6'4 215lbs 24.2ppg 7.3rebs 3.0asst 2.0stl 1.0bpg
A big impact player that got it started w a one handed ally-oop dunk, big time athletic skill and also has a playmaker personality injury is what to watch w this guy he likes contact at the rim looking to be a "westbrook" type....
Brandon Ingram F Los Angeles Lakers
6'9 190lbs 12.6 pts 4.2rebs 1.8asst 0.6stl
Hands down the big " risk " of my players
his shooting is a lil off and he's not been great from the ft line to start I'm thinking Ingram is going to need a yr or even two to find his spots on the floor
Over all i like my picks i think i could only improve on one player so I'm not kicking myself for passing on any player so I'll take my guys and see if i can improve on what i got....

Well you know I think you got a pretty good haul. Dunn looks ready to go at the opening bell, wb4 atm is the only Long term likely Mike Conley replacement in training on the roster in Memphis, which leaves Ingram, as you alluded to, as the only real question... but if he turns out good then this draft has revamped almost 20% of your roster in a single move. I think your team is closer to getting into the playoffs than mine is, even with you having three rookies to deal with.

Yea, you know that rookies are a mixed bag
but these guys are good in their spots, what best is that all of these guys play lock down defense first before looking for glory on the offensive end i think what really make the team go is wade...he hits a high % from 3 and the line and his 6'11 wingspan is surprising to other guards
Dunn is going to be fine i think they just sat him out of summer league to be carefull but I'm still looking for a lil extra punch somewhere ...
