Never heard of that rule. May I ask why its in place? Are we hoping that people will forget about players entirely so that they'll slip?
</div>

Well how would you like it if you were picking #20, hoping the guy you named would fall to you, and then you blabber about him and #18 goes "Oh I forgot about him, I'll take him!"

Something like that.

It's more like...we don't want to help out other GM's. I guess it's about strategy.

For example, I picked player X in the other draft. A couple picks after mine, another player I wanted was drafted...player Y. I didn't realize player Y was even available. Had I known that, I would have drafted player Y over player X.

That would suck but thats how drafts go. I would bank on my master drafting skills to win the game, not the luck of some player falling below where he should have been drafted.

Maybe I was just smokescreening before when I mentioned the undrafted player who will not be named.

Ok then (hypotheticlaly) its your fault for being an idiot and not knowing the player you wanted was there.

And if we're gonna be this competitive then it was probably a good move on my part to let the others know that said player was available, because I don't want him to slip back to the guys who got to draft the elite players in the NBA. Its irrelevant because said player would not have slipped anyway.

Anyway I wasn't aware that I had violated any unspoken rules. I won't do it again.

Exactly. If someone had brought him up, they would have helped me out.

But, the way it should be is that if someone forgets a player, let them deal with the consequences. We're trying to construct the best team possible, not help out the other GMs.
 
btw guys I wanted to thank all of you for really helping to make this draft go faster through the PMs or whatnot, we've been along smoothly and I appreciate the collaborative effort.
 
I also took big Al with he 27th pick in the other draft and a few people said that his D was horrible.... I dont watch any of the twolves games so i dont know for sure, but his stats and age sure look pretty 20-10 guy with almost 2 blocks per game and only 23 years old? Not too shabby imho.

No, his defense is pretty bad (or was with Boston, at least) but that doesn't mean he's not a decent option at that point, as a talented young player you could eventually build an elite team around.
 
FUCK I wanted Oden.

Oh well, now that I'm back from work I can make my pick...
 
I trade down and still get to select Steve Nash. I'm pleased.

If it gets me free picks....then no.
 
im interested on going higher in the 3rd round
send trade proposals if anyone is interested!
 
Sorry guys... I was here last night up until 9:30 waiting for JIGGA lol.. I went to bed early 'cause i had to go sign me up for school and stuff early this morning but im back.
Also what do you guys think of bynum?
And who would you take Bynum or Oden (Has never played an NBA game.)
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Kid Chocolate @ Aug 8 2008, 08:29 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'd obviously rather have Oden.

That and I hate Bynum.</div>


Ok i can understand that, but why would rather have Oden who has never even play an NBA game over Bynum?
What does he have that Bynum doesnt besides the obvious ( Not played a game yet
)

The ability to be a franchise player, a defensive anchor, and dominant in the paint.

Bynum has proved that he can do all of that already at the NBA level, while Oden hasnt.


I rest my case.

If you were Kevin Prichard, would you trade Oden for Bynum straight up?
 
Bynum isn't a defensive anchor or franchise player.

He averaged 13 and 10.

Would you have drafted Bynum over Oden if you had the chance?
 
Bynum is a good center to have, but he's 2nd round talent. Picking at the end of the first, you could have taken Paul Pierce, and then picked up Bynum with your high-2nd.

Are you kidding me? The A-train is a beast defensively. I cant believe you just said that. Defensively he is sound, but offensively is where he needs to improve and tell me if the Blazers had Bynum instead of Oden people wouldnt be calling him a "Franchise player" too.. come on now. And yes he did average 13ppg, BUT he really didnt need to score for that Lakers team. Also to answer your other question i dont think most people knew how good Bynum could be and how quickly he would start to Blossom so we didnt hear as much fuzz with him unlike with Oden and people calling him the next " Tim Duncan" So if I had to pick one i probably would have gone with Oden, But for this game and where Bynum is at this point today and where Oden is at right now, I would go with Bynum %100.


And how can you call Oden a " Franchise player" or a defensive anchor if he hasnt even played a game yet!! YOU JUST CANNOT DO THAT!

Truthfully, I dont know. I NEED to see how Oden plays first to make that decision, but at this point Bynum is the proven/better player.
