@Nicholasp27's peers think he's an excellent drafter of Summer Dynasty Draft talent, when he gets around to it.

That's wazzup! If his peers believe he's a decent defender why shouldn't we?....I mean hell some of these guys played against him.

I checked yesterday and no pm...I'll pick now

They also said 4th funniest rookie so he's got that goin' for him, which is nice

How can you evaluate a defender, when they've never played a game? Guarding KD is prolly a little different than guarding anyone in the Big 10. I don't mean PF's, I mean anyone.

It's amongst themselves base on college.

I get that, but NBA is hardly school when making comparisons. I think it's dumb. Let em play until to the Alls-star break until even starting that conversation

Not much defense in summer league

Just take Antić's spot, Payne.
