Slight step down from Gay to Stuckey.

4.20 Omer Asik

Probably the worst offensive player in the league so hopefully Houston will never give him the ball and the simulator will allow more shots for the rest of my team. He's an excellent defender and a good rebounder and should get good minutes in Houston.

DAMN DAMN DAMN. Was hellbent on taking him in 2 picks nad was certain that people would say I reached. But he grabs a huge percentage of rebounds and will have a really high defensive rating. Paired with Love I expected to have the best rebounding duo in the league. Really sorry i missed out on him. Good pick.

Was wondering with the Lin/Asik combo...

 

[Kraft...]

I looked at the sheet a couple times, just missed it. In fairness to me, I think he would have been a much better value here than where he was taken

 

[Kraft...]

BTW who are Kraft and Cheese? Alias of regular FFA hoop junkies?

WIS baseball junkies along for the ride.

Kraft won an all-time basketball draft way back in the day.

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Looking at Asik, I think it's a pretty huge reach at this point. How many minutes do we think he plays this year? He only had 15mpg last season. His 68 D rating was nice, but it's not elite or anything. In fact, there are a dozen other bigs with low mins like his that had better ratings last season.

I guess if he plays 25+ mins it could be viable, but will that happen? There's such a clusterfrack of bigs there.

I'm curious then: do you think I reached for McGee? I admit to being nervous about that pick.

No, I thought it was fine. He is pretty much guaranteed 25+ mins. Plus he scores a little to go with the blocks/rebs/defense.

They signed him to come play Center. He got a big contract and the only thing that's going to keep him from getting 30+ mpg is his high foul rate. Reports from camp are that he is an obvious defensive presence and a good passer. Patterson will no longer get any time at Center and Donuts is not thick enough yet to play more than a few minutes at the 5 against smaller lineups. My guess is that Asik will be the 5, Donuts the 4, with Jones spelling both men for a few minutes per game. Parsons and Patterson will play the 3 as Morris continues to try and prove he can handle the job, Lamb and Martin will run the 2, and Linn and Douglas will be the point guards. The odd men out for PT are White and Machado. Livingston will probably have a bench spot because he has a nice tradeable contract. But Asik is going to get his chance to be the main center.

Yeah, I wanted to say more without spotlighting anyone, but you know...

No. McGee is really good on a per-minute basis. He may only get 25 MPG but that's kind of the way it is with centers at this point.

 

[Abraham]

I'm pretty bummed about not getting Asik. I really liked his high rebound % alongside Love. At this point, I don't see a lot of difference in the bigs available. There are a few that have 13/9 upside and a bunch likely to be 8/7 guys. So I've shifted my thinking from wanting to corner the market on rebounds to hoping that Love is good enough on the boards to make up for the deficiency I'll have down there with whomever I put next to him.

Joe Johnson can play SF and Dragic can play SG according to the WIS website, so I don't have a problem adding another guard. While there is one "Top-50 overall" guy left at the position (not naming names) I don't care for him as he's a bit of a one-trick pony. And while a lot of picks are being greeted with "I can't believe he lasted this long" comments, I think it applies here. When MKG, Waiters and Beal all went within a few picks of each other I figured this guy would be long gone and am pleasantly surprised that he isn't. 30mpg seems a lock and while he hasn't played a lot of NBA competition, he was sensational in summer ball and has a good pick and roll teammate in Lamarcus Alrdige to go with 2nd best odds of winning ROY at the moment behind Davis.

4:22 - Damian Lillard - PG - Portland

14/6/4 seems like the floor. Ceiling could be in the 18/7/4 range if he really takes to the NBA game.

Nuggets fan here. They have a lot of other options at the posotion. There will games where he plays 30 minutes and probably others where he only gets 12-15. Of course if the light ever really goes on for him that could change. My guess is he ends up averaging in the 22-25 MPG range, and is productive in his time as usual.

Why does Abe think we want to read a 5 minute intro to his pick?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I like the Lillard pick, almost took him instead of Beal.

Yeah, I have no doubt whatsoever that Asik will get the minutes. Was hoping that Jordan would fall to me, though. I'm surprised Asik's D rating was only 68. IIRC, Hollinger had him rated as one of the best defensive centers in the league. I am a little worried about the Houston situation for him though. With his skill set, he had an ideal role with the Bulls. I don't know how things will work on a bad team (especially defensively) like the Rockets project to be.

Per minute, Asik is a DeAndre Jordan clone. Jordan obviously has more upside and safer playing time, but I don't think Asik going 3 picks after him is that bad of a reach.

I guess I'm assuming he's a 20mpg guy. If he's over 25 I'll take it all back and issue an apology blog post like I did for Christian Ponder.

I want somebody who can hit an open 3 and get to the basket when necessary. As a Piston fan, I'm excited to see what he can do with a year under his belt. He'll play SG for me and backup PG

I have only one guy on my list. If Ron doesn't take him, I will post my pick very quickly.

But if I'm sniped, it's going to take me a long while.

Wondering who would you guys have picked between:

Evan Turner

Bradley Beal

Gordon Hayward

Rodney Stuckey

Kevin Martin

Those were the names I was debating between with my last pick and ended up going with Evan Turner.

I don't think Turner is the best fit for your squad with Rondo/Z-Bo/A-Davis. Imo, you should have taken K-Mart, Hayward or Beal. I'm partial to Beal of course since I selected him, but any of those three give you some needed perimeter scoring.Edit: That's not to say there still aren't some shooters out there too I suppose...you can still fill that need.

From anyone's experience, how much does WIS factor this sort of thing in? Will it see that all of your guys get their points in the paint and penalize you a little bit? Just curious.
