Start-up Draft just ended. How did I do?

24T 9CAT H2H Dynasty - Start-up Draft (Fantrax)

With the randomizer, I got the 14th overall spot. The draft is snake format with 3rd round reversal. It was also a slow draft with a 3-hour timer per manager.

Transactions made:

- Traded 1.14 + 2.11 + 2027 FRP for 1.07 + 3.18

- Traded 6.14 + 9.11 for Morez Johnson Jr.

- Traded Aday Mara (8.14) for 10.24 + 13.01

My ending team (with draft positions):

- Cooper Flagg (1.07)

- Kel'el Ware (3.11)

- Darius Garland (3.18)

- Ryan Rollins (4.14)

- Coby White (5.11)

- Morez Johnson Jr. (5.22)

- PJ Washington (7.11)

- Naji Marshall (10.14)

- Nikola Jovic (11.11)

- Jaylin Williams (12.14)

- Spencer Jones (13.01)

- Kobe Sanders (13.11)

- Tarik Biberovic (14.14)

Assets remaining:

2027 SRP

All FRP and SRP from 2028 onwards

Spots remaining:

- 2 MIN (last 2 picks will be put here to open up 2 RES slots)

League Draft Context:

- At the start of the draft, future FRP's were of high value, being traded straight up for drafted players in the first four rounds (2 or 3 FRP's = 1 player).

- Lottery pick rookies from the 2026 NBA draft were also valued at a premium

- By the 6th round, future FRP's were used to buy 8th-9th round picks (1 FRP = 1 8th/9th round pick). The league was in a trading frenzy for current picks.

- By the 8th round, FRP's lost value, and a combined FRP + SRP can't even buy a single pick anymore.

- By the 10th round, league transactions came to a halt, with just 1 minor trade since then.

Personal notes:

- As you probably guessed, I am a Mavericks fan, that's why I am higher than most on these players.

- First trade of the draft was my trade for 1.07. Apparently, at least two other people were trying to get it -- one intended to draft Cooper Flagg, the other intended to draft Anthony Edwards. I closed the deal with the 2027 FRP.

- PJ Washington and Naji Marshall were one of the BPA's at the spot I drafted them, so I can't say I picked them just because they are Mavs players. However, I am banking also on either or both of them getting traded in real life, to further boost their values for my team or as future trade pieces.

- I made and received at least 15 trade offers in total, and only 3 actually pushed through even after further negotiations.

- With Cooper Flagg as my centerpiece, my goal in this draft is to build a somewhat youthful team that may just be a fringe playoff team in Year 1, but can grow into a contender in years 2-4. Please let me know if I was able to achieve that
