This is Part 4 of a 4-Part Draft Special.

Disclaimer: we had a lot of fun doing the pick analysis, and it's purely for entertainment. If we were critical with any pick, we promise it is nothing personal, and it's not that big of a deal. Heck, Kyrus and Marcos were both critical of the Murphy pick at #4, and I'm absolutely going to dunk on both of them when he becomes the goat. We hope you enjoy!

That wraps it up
This was extremely fun, we ended up talking almost 3 hours of CSL non stop, glad you guys enjoyed it!

We’re heading to our 18th season, this is trully unbelievable, how much I love this league and our community is amazing, glad to be part of CSL and may we have 18 more!

Overall take:
I'm honored you guys talked about the Orlando Magic for 4 entire episodes, it kept me engaged thanks!

Overall it was pretty repetitive though after you guys described the other player traits you all kept saying great player or this guy might be a good player etc all in agreement.

I thought Marcos would speak more humbly after the KAT trade was what made him a champ. But listening to his draft analysis in comparison to the rest of the podcast group overall he seemed to want to be the smartest guy in the room when speaking on the players. It may just take time to adjust to the group setting with you all.

Interested in seeing which players get +10's, looking forward to it!

Good ep. Lots of work went into this Draft Special podcast so kudos!

I have to interrupt my scheduled History of Rome podcast listening to tune into these

These are very insightful to learn about how some of the best GMs view players. And I think you guys are slowly but surely getting better at the talk radio format. Keep it up!

good listen. i would say you guys over-hyped 29/30 players and under-hyped 1/30 Mark Williams.

Ha, yeah it does get a little tough to come up with creative new player descriptions/comparisons by late in the first. I think that's very fair. Maybe I can workshop this a bit for next year to keep it fresh by the end. Cheers on the feedback.

I think that's a bit harsh of Marcos. I find him to be a really humble guy. I think we all need to consider that English isn't his first language, which I imagine keeps him from being as articulate as he would be in his native tongue. I don't think he gets nearly enough credit for this.

Haha glad we could break up your history lessons! Glad you're enjoying our pods

Ha, we were tough on a couple other guys too, but fair point there. I think we (those of us on the pod) were all just surprised Jovic didn't go #1 overall. If Williams goes #2, he probably gets over-hyped too. I was looking to take him #4. But the beauty of the draft is that different GMs interpret and project the ratings differently.

That is a good point, I can attest to it how hard it is to be in a call and try to understand and formulate everything correct if it is not your first language! That is not easy.

And I think Marcos does a terrific job here.

Good to see you guys have so much fun, that it what the league should be all about!

I really appreciate the feedback Willy, I know it’s constructive coming from you and I’ll work hard to keep that in mind for next pods as I don’t want to seem like my opinion is higher than anyone else, specially as the guys had more knowledge on the class than I did

Thanks and I’ll be better come next episode!!!

Great podcast and I’m still mad at myself for passing on Wilkes (and now we have to see him in Minny).

Seems to be a pretty strong draft overall though and you guys did an awesome job at analyzing all of the picks! Great to get Kyrus in there too for some insider scoop on the creation process.

We need to bring this back! I will carve time out and listen to it, it's so enjoyable!

I have you coming out of the East, I hope you can go back to back before the rebuild. Go for it, Miami is gonna be tough to get by but you can do it.
