Glad you guys are doing this again. Work makes it nigh impossible for me to sign up every year, but dammit if I don't love to tear into people for their terrible picks. Keep on keeping on.

Just my opinion....
Pick #1 - UKNorse - Giannis Antetokounmpo
Reach, not sure there is any guarantee that he'll become the best player in the league. This probably should have gone to KD...it's one thing to show potential, but another to live up to the potential and take over in championship series.
Pick #2 - Quest4#9 - Kevin Durant
Ironic Pick...probably should be #1 pick. Highly skilled 6'10" SF. Probably the best offensive player, and good defensive player. Finally joining a team developing his defense. Oh, and he's only 28. That means bulk of this 7 years is with in his prime.
Pick #3 - gonzocat90 - Kawhi Leonard
Great pick. Really hard to tell how far he'll go. Best two way player in the league. Top 10 offensively, and my top pick as a defensive player. Can slow down Lebron James, KD, and JH...basically every damn NBA player. Dude is only 26...meaning he's about to reach his prime and this whole 7 year thing...he is in his Prime. Already won NBA final MVP, carried a team of old timers.
Pick #4 - Ruppsrunts - Lebron James
for 7 year game, might be a little too high. I would say he's more of 6/7 pick. He's great, he's gotten to the final, but his peak is now and maybe couple more years. Some other players are literally going into peak AND staying there for the whole 7 years.
Pick #5 - usinfantrycat85 - Steph Curry
Good pick for this spot, but 7 year things always gets me. He is 29, year older than KD. He did have injury issues throughout his career. I wonder how he'll hold off in the next few years. However, if not he should be top 5 pick, so i think this is a good pick.
Pick #6 - catsfan3523 - Anthony Davis
If not for Injury...he should be #1 pick. Of course injury is major concern. However, he never had a serious one. He probably just need a coach that rest him little more. But...damn his PER is off the charts on consistent basis. he has college players surrounding him. His career should be themed injure. Because it's not just him but his teammate. I don't think he ever had a season where he had steady group of teammates. Scary thought...
Pick #7 - Frankunderwood - Demarcus Cousins
I would have probably taken KAT over Boogie.
Pick #8 - gossie21 - Karl Towns
Great pick.
Pick #9 - catzman - Russel Westbrook
Good pick. Hopefully his legs hold up. Not so sure...
Pick #10 - bbn93 - John Wall
Great pick, but like Westbrook concerns about his leg. A lot of these super athletic players..7 more years..sheesh. Not so sure.
BTW James harden is only 27...with no injure thats a major concern. How did he fall out of top 10.

Yes and no. His numbers were great, but are those sustainable or a product of Mike D'Antoni's system?
He was amazing last year...but it wasn't like it was complete outlier in terms of his performance.
Year before was disaster with Cancer that is Howard. But before that Harden posted good numbers as well.
Last year he was 27.4 couple years before he was 26.7. His defense does suck, but he's a great scorer. i still don't see why he isn't top 10.
Last year was a historically great year for Harden. Not just scoring, but he nearly doubled his career averages for assists and rebounds.
Lebron as an individual player. He's the most dynamic player in the NBA.
His PER improved by less than 1 since two years ago....
His three point shooting was worst in his career.
His Stl/Blks were both lower than two years ago, and his TO skyrocketed.
While I've got you here Leveon Bell or David johnson with the first pick in a FFball 12 man PPR draft?
