NBA BTTF III - Draft Over! War of attrition underway... (2 Viewers)

[Abraham]

I had talked myself in to VO because he should get 100% at PG and SG and we've had over 20+ at the position selected so far and there is a bit more meat on thebone at SF.

 

[Kraft...]

AOD takes:

3.21 Tyreke Evans

 

[Slapdash]

Where do you guys see last year's ratings? Probably should have asked earlier...

Pretty happy with this so far:

PG: CP3

SG: DeRozan

PF/C: P. Gasol

 

[Spartans Rule]

3.20: Trevor Ariza

Harden's gonna get it to him when he's open in the corner just like Wall did, right? I'm sure he will. I expect zero letdown post-contract year.

Also, he had a 45 defensive rating? I don't know what that means but I'm outraged.

Good pick. He was ahead of Teague on my list until all the other PGs started disappearing.

I figure he'll be a less dreamy Chandler Parsons.

The only real important stat to check with is DEF rating. They rely a lot on blks/stls so often times players a player's defensive reuptation whether good or bad doesn't match.

Thanks. I've just been looking at Hollinger stats on ESPN

3.23 - Thaddeus Young SF

 

[Kev4029]

3.22 Wes Matthews, SG

I was torn between a handful of players, but I figured I needed some shooting and he is a good bet to rain down a bunch of threes again this season. Ariza would have probably been my pick here if he made it.

 

[Slapdash]

3.23 - Thaddeus Young SF

Nice, was looking at him.

 

[Kraft...]

I wanted Wes and Thad at the turn, so close. . . . . . .

 

[the moops]

we need more mocking of picks in here. you all have gone soft.

 

[Kev4029]

We don't have AcerFC taking Biyombo in the 3rd this year...

Tre Takes:

3.24 - George Hill

Josh Smith was pretty ####### horrible...

 

[Spartans Rule]

3.23 - Thaddeus Young SF

He fell a little too far I think. Had him two years ago in this and he was awesome. Last year he wasn't as good but Philadelphia was a total trainwreck.

 

[Abraham]

Tre Takes:

3.24 - George Hill

4.01 - Roy Hibbert

At least Roy has a sense of humor

That's what I thought at first, but then I remembered the immortal words of Jordan Crawford.

That's the scary part. Hibbert shot 44 percent on a good team, and now he has an even greater license to take bad shots.

Josh Smith was pretty ####### horrible...

Pretty confident Howard will lead our league in offense boards with Smith and Rubio chucking up bricks.

 

[Gr00vus]

I hate to be the "I can't believe this guy is still available" guy, and I know that he's probably not as good in the SIM as in real life, and I make fun of his play in the NBA thread as much as anyone...

BUT he did shoot over 50% from the 2pt range after the trade and a 28 year old 20ppg Small Forward that played on the FIBA team shouldn't be available 67 picks in to this thing.

SF - Rudy Gay - Sacramento Kings

This was the other guy I was considering when I took Wiggins. I decided to go with the unknown, because it's exciting - until it becomes known. I probably should have went with Gay, but I don't really want to reassemble the Kings roster in this sim.

That pick was epic.

ETA: The amazing thing is, though, he somehow still did better than Abe.

Now this is what I'm talking about. Feels better in here now.

Would be pretty funny if someone just drafted a really bad NBA team to see how it would do in the Sim. Would have been interesting to see if a real PG. Of course I'm sure now the real Kings will end up with more wins the Groovie Boogies.

 

[Kev4029]

4.03 Jimmy Butler, G/F

Hopefully he can figure out his offensive game while maintaining the elite defense, if he can pick up the shooting a bit, he'll be a nice pick.

SF - Rudy Gay - Sacramento Kings

I thought about him, but I generally only take players I like. And I really liked the idea of reuniting Wall and Bledsoe. I think we'll play uptempo this year.

I gotta head out in about 10-15 minutes. Can I PM my list of two to someone?

Why dont I just PM you the name of the guy I want most and then you can snipe him?

PM received - excellent title.

Corrective PM received - not as good of a title.

I was hoping he would fall back to me, I thought he was a little too risky to take in the fourth coming of an ACL injury that he has yet to play with.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Hai. So Hibbert, I hate him, but he's an 85 and an 80 defensively the last two years playing 30mpg at C.

George Hill was panicky, but PG is just about done for...there's only 1-2 other guys that are worth your time. At least he chucks 3s well and doesn't kill you on defense (57-59).

Bigger homer.

Abe or Kev?
