My draft list is now 'guy-I-happen-to-be-reading-about-at-the-moment'

I do have a random assortment of names that I have read about in the last day.  neupsmanship:

Same, but they are not in a list, they're just in my head...but the player I read about next probably is my "top guy!"

I don't know any of these guys.  If I don't jot the name down, it's GONE like HernanGONEsez

 

[JMon348]

Domantas Sabonis F OKC

Surprised he fell, almost took him last round instead of Nance.  He could start for OKC.

This is a good pick.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

On the head list!

 

[rodg12]

Texting with X for picks...

 

[Eephus]

This is a good pick.

Nice > good

 

[JMon348]

Did we ever get the Day 8 winning bids sheet?

Curious to see the bids.

I buried them in the yard.

Eephus is to blame here I think.

I sold them to Scoobus for $1

 

[rodg12]

After much discussion X takes:

11.24 - Thon Maker, PF, MIL

12.01 - Jonas Jerebko, SF, BOS

 

[rodg12]

Back to @JMon348

 

[JMon348]

12.2 Tomas Satoransky G WAS

 

[Frostillicus]

12.2 Tomas Satoransky G WAS

Only real people are eligible.

 

[Koya]

On the head list!

And the excel one! 

 

[Koya]

After much discussion X takes:

11.24 - Thon Maker, PF, MIL

12.01 - Jonas Jerebko, SF, BOS

Maker's middle name is Gerald.  

I'll just let that sink in.

 

[rodg12]

@the moops has been texted.

 

[the moops]

need a few

 

[Spartans Rule]

Amazed how many dumb trade rumors I see while I'm googling names.

Just saw Monta Ellis for Ersan Ilyasova and Kyle Singler, which I guess would make sense if the Thunder want to eliminate the forward position from the NBA and just divide their roster into guards and centers.

Though I've heard this is a pretty solid strategy for this draft.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Yeah it's not far off. I've started 2 point guards and 2 centers before. Good way to pile up assists and rebounds while ignoring real basketball logic.

 

[the moops]

noah vonleh?

 

[rodg12]

noah vonleh?

Yours.

 

[the moops]

Blazers President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey and coach Terry Stotts have encouraged Noah Vonleh to be a "monster."
He certainly looked like one in his preseason debut on Friday, notching 14 points, 14 rebounds and one assist in just 20 minutes. 

 

[rodg12]

PMed @Sammy3469

 

[Spartans Rule]

Vonleh looked pretty good in college.

He was also taken with the pick the Pistons traded to Charlotte in exchange for them eating Ben Gordon's awful contract.

 

[rodg12]

No idea what the Blazers are going to do with all their bigs.  Especially if Aminu gets a lot of time at the 4.

 

[Koya]

Yeah it's not far off. I've started 2 point guards and 2 centers before.Good way to pile up assists and rebounds while ignoring real basketball logic.

Seems like almost all Centers have PF availability here (not that I knew that when we began drafting).  If anything my least depth as SF, but seems like a bunch of guys can at least play there with a high 90's value.

You have Ed Davis, right? He rules in the sim and I wanted to draft him again, but that frontcourt mess scared me off.

Yeah, I rolled the dice based on how good he has been in the sim.  Hoping he carves out the same role as last year, but there's definitely some PT risk with all the guys they have there.

 

[The Gator]

Almost done?

PG - D. Williams, Delly, Exum

SG - LaVine, Booker

SF - Kawhi

PF - Frye, D. West, Bjelica

C  - M. Gasol, Gobert

why didn't you get anyone in the auction? 

 

[Kev4029]

And come the end of the nba season, there are always guys like CJ Miles or Randy Foye who inexplicably get 2000 minutes and somebody is willing to trade them for a center that got 800 minutes. 

 

[Sammy3469]

Joe Harris?

12.5 - Marquese Chriss, PF, PHX

 

[Frostillicus]

12.5 - Marquese Chriss, PF, PHX

This is a good pick. 

 

[Yo Mama]

FYI - I'll be traveling for work tomorrow and I'm meetings all day. I'll do my best to keep up, but you can just send me a message when I'm up and go ahead and skip me. I'll try to get a list together tonight. 

It it would be cool if I could make my next pick tonight, though.

[Notorious T.R.E.]

This is a good pick. 

Now I know this is random

 

[Frostillicus]

Don't be mad because you haven't made a single good pick in the entire draft. 

Actually Bjelica was good. 

 

[Charlie Harper]

12.6 PF Andrew Nicholson WAS
