    2021 - wanted Jalen. Should've gotten: Suggs or Wagner.

    2022 - wanted Jabari (at 3). Fine with it.

    2023 - wanted Amen. Was right.

    2024 - wanted Reed. Time will tell but so far fine with it.

    2021 Wanted Cade, but Jalen looked fine with him off the board. Not too big in the Jalen v Mobley discussion so would not have been opposed to Mobley. I wanted Trey Murphy later in the draft.
    2022 Wanted Jabari or Chet (best upside, but worried about injuries). Was really worried Paolo would not become efficient.
    2023 Wanted Brandon Miller if not No. 1 from a basketball standpoint. Amen was favorite not counting Miller, Wemby.
    2024 Reed or Clingan with who was there.

    2021 -- Wanted Cade but was fine with either Green or Mobley. In the lower tier, I didn't know much about Sengun at that time.
    2022 -- Wanted Jabari. In the lower tier, I wanted Eason and got him!
    2023 -- Wanted Scoot but was okay with Amen
    2024 -- Wanted Reed. In the lower tier, I wanted Cam and we got him!

    So we got what I wanted in '22 and '24, and was okay in '21 and '23.

    2021 Wanted Mobley
    2022 Wanted Chet but we didn't have a chance at him. Wanted Jabari over Paolo
    2023 Didn't want Amen. He's a lot better than I thought.
    2024 Wanted Clingan or Topic.

    I did not want Jalen and Mobley lol......but I cannot remember whom I wanted, just knew what I disliked.

    I did not know that Alperen was the Turkish NBA and I was hopeful.

    1. Wanted Cade, Jalen, would have been fine with Mobley as well.
    2. Wanted Chet, Paolo, Jabari
    3. Wemby, Scoot/Amen
    4. Wanted Sarr, Castle and after them was 50/50 on Reed but saw potential if he hit (liked Knecht as well)

    Was also on board with Sengun and Eason as the later picks after scouting their film/info.
