1st seed Damian Lillard vs 14th seed Nolan Smith
2nd seed LaMarcus Aldridge vs 13th seed Ronnie Price --- Can you believe it?
3rd seed Nicolas Batum vs vs 12th seed Jared Jeffries
4th seed Wesley Matthews vs 11th seed Victor Claver
5th seed JJ Hickson vs 10th seed Joel Freeland
6th seed Myers Leonard vs 9th seed Will Barton
7th seed Sasha Pavlovic vs 8th seed Luke Babbitt

Though I think the seeds are a little off - shouldn't it be LMA vs Freeland, Hickson vs Leonard, and Price vs Barton?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Though I think the seeds are a little off - shouldn't it be LMA vs Freeland, Hickson vs Leonard, and Price vs Barton?

I kind of went off seeding them according to the contribution I think they have made this year. Although Freeland and Jeffries probably should have been swapped in ranks. However, I can't see matching Hickson with Leonard because that would mean Leonard is a 10th seed and while he hasn't been great this year he has been better then most (or all) of our bench.

 

[blue9]

I hear ya - I was thinking of matching by position. And even though I'd like to think that Leonard would be higher than 10th seed, I don't know if he actually is... I like him, but...

 

[KingSpeed]

1st seed Damian Lillard
2nd seed LaMarcus Aldridge
3rd seed Nicolas Batum
4th seed Wesley Matthews
5th seed JJ Hickson
6th seed Myers Leonard
8th seed Luke Babbitt

 

[KingSpeed]

You needed two byes. How will this work now with 7 players advancing?

 

[HailBlazers]

1st seed Damian Lillard

Ain't a Bad core right there

 

[KingSpeed]

Ain't a Bad core right there

Agreed. Do we have Babbitt's Bird rights?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Is this really much different from Kingspeed's elimination game? Haha have fun!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

You needed two byes. How will this work now with 7 players advancing?

Highest remaining seed will probably get a bye in the second round.

I thought about throwing Eliott Williams and Coach Stotts or Coby Karl in there to make it 16 but didn't do it. Now a little late for that.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Agreed. Do we have Babbitt's Bird rights?

There is a question I never thought I would never read . . .

No one wants to pick any upsets? (I don't consider Hickson an upset over Matthews with how he is playing)

1st seed Damian Lillard vs 5th seed JJ Hickson
2nd seed LaMarcus Aldridge vs 3rd seed Nicolas Batum
