Center's the shittiest part to fill. I hope I get someone who doesn't suck, and I hope you don't pick him.

I agree, which is why I tried to go big first. Nash, Ginobili, Prince is cool and all, but a guy like Duncan would eat Haslem for breakfast.
 
We just had a run of picks (good job people), so to keep everyone on track, Accelerate is on the clock until 7:09pm
 
My starting 5 is now set:
Nash
Ginobili
Prince
Haslem
Haywood
 
WTF I did the control-F firefox search and he didn't show up :(

I even copied the name from his NBA page so I knew I didn't spell it incorrectly. Oh well.
 
Ok so here's my team so far

Steve Nash / Jason Terry
Ginobili
Prince
Haslem

FEAR

AF FTW


Getting a big in this round is gonna suck. I only have one guy in mind, and he's getting selected by then, definitely.
 
I have no idea which big man you could be thinking of. Haywood was the only guy that I would have picked in this round (see also: emphasis on would have)

Yeah, idk, might be too early...but I see him as a starter (for my team, at least)

I looked at your lineup, and saw you could use some size, and two names came to mind. I wouldn't take either at this point, but would draft one of the two later in the draft.

In this round, or with your pick?

Of course, one of them. The other could be a starter on half the teams in the NBA.

The 2 I have in mind are both overpaid centers.

I've now extended my range to three potential people.

3 are overpaid
3 are big bodies
I would take 2 of them.

I hope you take the odd man out!

Sigh, and you were off to such a great start with Ellis, Aldridge, and Gordon. SMH

Actually, Gordon might have been a dumb pick, but I felt like going BPA.

Kleiza is pretty great, though.

Kleiza would be great a round or two later. He's solid off the bench.

How's his defense? If it's great, and I mean great, you can justify that pick because you only really have one good defender in Ellis. Maybe you've got something up your sleeve for Center? Perhaps S__s_g_ L_p_?

Kleiza's a really good defender. You can't really say anything bad about his defense, I'll put it that way.

He'd definitely be a starter if it weren't for Melo.

what? you can say bad things about him. he has slow footwork. he's nothing special on the defensive end. he's too slow to guard the perimeter, so he has to rely on positioning. he's average.

his offensive game is much more advanced than his defense.

Slow footwork? Where do you get that from?

D'oh, you forgot the Kid Chocolate factor. "Bad" can be said about anyone :)

Of course. If someone says there is nothing that a player does badly, someone has the right to point out that he does something badly. KC went on to compliment his offensive game then.

LK is a below average defender. He gets overpowered by PF's and outquicked on the perimeter. It is very painful watching him attempt to guard SG's.

He does try his best though.
