Last night was one of the rare draft auctions where I felt in control pretty much from start to finish. I did have to adjust, as I had Harden as the clear #1 and intended to pay for him, but got in a two person bidding war up to $70 and elected to let him go. Went with Karl-Anthony Towns as my anchor instead, and then got everyone else on my roster except for Malcolm Brogdon for less money than the prices at which I had them valued. I went in with Siakam as my lone keeper at $11, was one of the last to land my first auction player in KAT, then paired him with Kemba and waited, waited, waited for everyone else to spend their money. I think most folks had seven or eight guys already before I dove back in and added my fourth through ninth players in quick succession: R.Rubio, J.Collins, T.Bryant, M.Brogdon, Miles Bridges, J.Isaac. Then I was able to hold a few extra bucks in my pocket to be able to top a $1 bid on a few players I thought were good values: Mikal Bridges, Looney, PJ Washington. Overall I have a roster of good players on bad or middling teams. The only player I have from a team likely to play in the conference finals is my last bench pick, Matisse Thybulle.
