[Dark Defender]

Selection thread and Players selectied thread are updated.

 

[Dark Defender]

Damn, I really wanted Evans and Hayes to fall further.

 

[Charles]

Hayes was a good pickup. I think he's going to play well w/ the Pistons this year.

 

[zєяσ]

The teams thread needs to be updated just FYI.

 

[pegs]

wow, hayes wasn't already selected???? sheesh, i'm clueless.</p>

well, 3 great picks in a row GA, all 3 were on my list...JERK </p>

 

[GMJ]

Tim's first pick was on the clock until 7:35 EDT. 6 hours after this pick his second would be up, at 1:35 EDT. It is now 1:37 EDT by the sports2 clock, so I'm skipping him and picking

 

[GMJ]

Thoughts on Antoine Walker?

 

[GrandKenyon6]

Antoine Walker is an embarrassment to the game of basketball.

 

[ly_yng]

I'd take half the D-League before I'd take Antoine Walker.</p>

Liked the Pavlovic pick, though.</p>

3rd best player on a team a year removed from the championship. Had a really bad year last year, doesn't do well in the newfangled statistical analysis, but he's been a winner for most of his career.</p>

Whew tough crowd. I picked this guy to be a veteran championship winner of the bench. He averaged 12 ppg last season. </p>

I would have forfeited my pick before taking Walker. Have you seen him play? </p>

 

[GMJ]

You mean the ill-advised 3point shooting? If tries that crap he's getting perma benched. But he can shoot, and I'm not asking too much from him. He does know how to win a champ.

 

[pegs]

ya, i don't really like walker. but, IMO, he can work good with the right team.</p>

i don't think bryant will like him. he'd be taking shots away from him </p>

 

[pegs]

oh, and i like the Collins and Pavlovic picks. quality picks at this point in the draft.

 

[Денг Гордон]

Sorry about the hold up. I had to go fix something with someone over my lunch/newspaper class, so I couldn't make my pick during then like I planned.

[Денг Гордон]

My team seems interesting to me.</p>

PG-Ben Gordon/Carlos ArroyoSG-JJ RedickSF-Kevin DurantPF-Tyrus ThomasC- Andrew Bynum</p>

Lots of lineup possibilities already. Go small with an Arroyo/Gordon/Redick/Durant/Tyrus lineup. Both Gordon and Durant can switch over and play some shooting guard, and Tyrus Thomas can play some small forward, as well as center. Still need to fill out the bench, but as long as my team gets filled out good, I am going to be able to kill you guys in 2k8 with my team. </p>

Redick would get abused at SF, defenders would completely shut him down.</p>

Like Ben Gordon gets shut down playing powerforward, and Chris Duhon gets shutdown playing smallforward? </p>

 

[GMJ]

I actually really, really like the Arroyo pick.

</p> too bad this isn't international basketball. arroyo's great in international basketball, but in the nba, he's so inconsistent. not a completely bad backup, tho. not that great a backup, tho.

[GrandKenyon6]

Carlos Arroyo is a terrible NBA player. Absolutely horrible.

 

[TucsonClip]

I have two picks this round and I am looking to trade one of them for a backup PG. If you are interested let me know.

 

[Charles]

I can pick now, right?

 

[Dark Defender]

yes, go for it.

 

[JCB]

Man, I was hoping Diogu would fall.
