This was hard for me. I hated voting against a few of William Blake's picks, but in a head-to-head I ultimately had to give Henkel the nod just for putting together an ever so slightly more diverse list.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I voted for William Blake since he had more I would have drafted or at least considered but Henkel's list is really good too and it is a crying shame that they are down here at the bottom.

Yeah, this one is the hardest for me. Henkel by a hair.

Battle of the hipsters

Henkel's is definitely more hipster friendly. WB is the euro traveler mistaken for a hipster.

Ok, and congrats to Henkel for moving on to play for The Best of the Worst of the Worst title. Meanwhile William Blake is off to battle for LeBron's coveted jeweled throne.
