Whose keen for it?
Reckon we need 8 participants to make it happen.
Do we think we should ban Durant or not?
Should it be under 25? If so, should it be that if they turn 25 during the season they should still be allowed to be selected. So if they are were under 25 when the 2012-13 season starts, they are still eligible. Agree? ???
Participants:
Windigo
Jayman
Gossiboy
Holzman
Hmm we are struggling here. Have tried hard to get people involved :-\
Sorry guys, gonna have to say no to this one. Year 12 is limiting my internet time and I doubt I'd be able to complete this :(
I think I could give it a go, although all of my knowledge will come from playing NBA 2K13 a lot.
Means that I will almost definitely some interesting players. :P
Woooooooo onya ML! Know anyone else who might be keen? lol
No idea. Sent any PMs out to guys in the NBA thread?

Yeah I've sent plenty. Even to those that don't post in the NBA thread but have heard them mention NBA before - funnily enough you were the 1 guy I forgot :-[
Reckon we could do it with 6, guys?
It's all good, I'm kinda the silent figure around here. Used to be up and about more, but don't even get a mention in the POTY thread. ;)
If we only have 6, could make it under 24 or something like that cos the teams will be fairly strong.

If I joined, I would be going off 2k10, so will miss quite a few players :P.
Sadly I can't join this as in 1.5 weeks won't be around much for a while (2 weeks away on holiday then the 2 weeks after I come back got to do 2 assignments and study for a mid-semester exam) so booked up :-\. Best of luck finding the remaining members Jay! I'll be sure to read how this goes when I get the time as drafts are always fun no matter the winner :P.
Well this is disappointing. :P
I think I might choose my 23 year old 2k10 99 overall player and own everyone. :)
why not
Quote from: KoopKicka on March 19, 2013, 10:32:25 PM
why not
I recruited him guys :D
Give him no.1 pick I say as he is not an NBA regular.
Can we start with 6?
Okay we are starting with 6. 8)
We're not banning Durant.
The winner will be decided by a vote by us. By voting on 3 other teams other than own team! 3,2, 1 ballot. ;)
Cut off point is 25.
Draft Order Done By Random.org:

Just one last word, what would we like, dynasty or a single season? ???
dynasty.
My vote goes to Jays team, I call it now he cant be beaten.
Not the Durant factor...
Maybe we should ban him. :P
Anyone in favor of a Bonzia draft where the first pick is too high powered to any others? ???
its where you go 1 2 3 4 5 6
6 5 4 3 2 1
6 5 4 3 2 1
than you go back to the snake
1 2 3 4 5 6
6 5 4 3 2 1
1 2 3 4 5 6
Thoughts?
Gotta be dynasty Windi e.g. The Brow will be a gun long-term but has not shown much in his short NBA Career so far.
That Bonzia order seems shower ;) Haha nah, if everyone else wants to do that I will co-operate. Even though we probably should have sorted that out before finalizing the order so people can not be bias based on what pick they have :-\
No. 1 pick is harder than you may think - stoked to have it though. Am ready to pick, let me know when, Windi :D

Sure you aren't playing a bit of reverse psychology and feel D-Rose is no.1? Haha, I'll make the right choice. But KD aint got no MVP. Rose was so important to that Bulls team and probably was the most valuable player that year.

For me Rose overated, was a joke he got the MVP over Lebron. Durrant is the only guy im happy to see take a MVP title away from Lebron.

KD would average 40 on that team. Scores so easily - can't wait for *unpicked player* to either get traded or quit so KD can go 40/9/5.

Had no idea we'd started/I had the second pick/we were allowing the durantula but okay... Give me a few minutes and I'll pick.
The age 24 and under? And did we decide on a system to decide the winer? I'm a fan of each coach sending their top 3 teams to someone.
Wish I didn't have pick 2. There's like 3 guys i wanna take but they'd just be me forfeiting the draft.

actually no. Windi said the cut-off point is 25. So I guess that means 24 and under

You're damn right it is.
With the second pick in the NBA youth draft, the yung blood's select
Kyrie Irving.I know this is gonna make some people mad, but kid's on another level, he may not have an MVP under his belt
yet, but he will.
Let's use some $tat$ to back up my selection of Uncle Drew over the youngest MVP in league history. Normally I'm against mentioning undrafteds but that's already been done.
Kyrie's averages through first two seasons in the nba:
32.8 minutes, 47% FG,
40% 3PT,
86% FT, 3.7 RPG, 5.5 APG,
1.3 steals, 3.2 TO,
20.7 PPG.
21.8 PER, 56.5 TS%, 33.7 AST%, 14.7 TO%,
29.3% USG, 109 ORTG, 110 DRTG.
D-Rose's averages through first two seasons:
36.9 MPG,
48% FG, 25% 3PT, 77% FT,
3.9 RPG, 6.2 APG, 0.8 steals,
2.5 TO, 18.8 PPG.
17.3 PER, 52 TS%, 29 AST%,
13 TO%, 24% USG, 107 ORTG, 111 DRTG
Kyrie wins. Add on top of that D-Rose's ACL injury and Kyrie being younger then I'm taking Uncle Drew every day of the week. Gonna be the best PG in the league very soon.
Also, how many players do we draft?

Haha fair enough - great pick. Obviously he is not on Durant's level but some day he might be a top 2 player in the NBA!

Well actually it's anyone 25 and under. :)
I choose Derrick Rose, this guy is in the top 10 in the nba, not just under the age of 25.
MVP at 22 is all I'll have to say about my justification.
Really hope koop takes the guy i dont want to pick. I think i will have to if he stays around.
I had to take Rose. Even though the point guard position has a lot of young talent, he had to go. :P

Don't necessarily agree with that at all. There was one guy I was considering taking over Irving and it wasn't Rose
Meh, I get the only crowned MVP in the draft.
Just curious. How many years is this draft over? eg. a 5 year dynasty or what? and how many players do we draft?
also, forgot to post this in my kyrie write up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8gjTFJaW3U.

Over 7 years. That way the 20 years olds can be in their prime and shower I reckon?
Do we think we should go with just a starting 5? No bench? ???

Andrew Wiggins's nickname at Huntington Prep in West Virginia is "Canada's LeBron."
Oh, God not another Lebron. ::)
Been watching Wiggins for a few months now. Top 3 best high school players I've ever seen with Oden and LBJ. Kid's got it all.

Will probably take less than 9 seasons to get a ring! Kid is a freak.
Could be better than Lebron... Don't want the hype to slow him down though!
no doubt should easily overtake garnett, that spud took 13 years to win a ring. -

Will probably take less than 9 seasons to get a ring! Kid is a freak.
Could be better than Lebron... Don't want the hype to slow him down though!
no doubt should easily overtake garnett, that spud took 13 years to win a ring. -
Lebron would never have made it to the playoffs on that T-Wolves team. KG carried them like crazy
Has Lebron ever been rebounding champ or won defensive player of the year? Didn't think so :P
has a SF ever got rebonding champ?
got a scoring title though and soon to be 4 MVPS.
i think its evident we have been waiting too long for koop and getting masively off topic

Andrew Wiggins is not, and will never be regarded as, better than Lebron James. Plain and simple.
You don't know that ;D
I can guarantee that.

I have him behind Duncan and almost equal with Malone. Clear 3rd IMO
I did PM koop....No reply though. :P
Anyway, it unfair to categorize young players with star players. Too much pressure...
Quote Kobe: "I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant."
Koop was online last night.........
And that is when I PM'ed him.
Reckon we should oust him for somebody else like Marcz? ???

Yah, I think Marcz was away for a week.. :-\

Wait, so are you still in? If not we can find a replacement? Or you could co-coach with FS who has said he might be able to...
Nah I should be fine ;)
has Kevin Love been picked? If not he is now mine.

All yours. Makes Holz's choice easy now as well
WOOOO WE ARE BACK!
Nice pick with good old Wes
I was being a little too optimistic thinking he would slip to me, wasn't I?
Dam I wanted love, just like him as a player.
Anyway I'm taking a guy who will be the clear best sg in the league in a few years. Can score like mad and I can build me team around him.
James harden
I'll take my 2 players now in Russell Westbrook and Blake Griffin.
Fairly sure they are young enough and haven't been taken.

I rate westbrook above harden actually, just there are more talented PG than SG and i feel westbrook is tough to build around. But on pure talent he is a gun.
Great pick with Blake! Should have gone before Love IMO
So for these 2 rounds the order is:
ML, Holz, Koop, Windi, Me, Jay
ML, Holz, Koop, Windi, Me, Jay
Right?

Right?
thats correct. these round 2 picks are hard. no real advantage having and early one to a late one. there are about 10 guys on par for me here.
Will have easily the best offensive front court in this game.
Harden is a beast who is a great shooter but he also drives in alot. The guy im picking next probably is the best shooter in the NBA. capable of going 50 FG% -40 3p% - 90 FT%
i dont care how good your D is, try stopping this offensive duo.
Stephen Curry
PG: Stephen Curry
SG: James Harden
Quote from: Jayman on March 24, 2013, 12:38:46 PM
Great pick with Blake! Should have gone before Love IMO
Completely disagree :P
Love showers over Blake Griffin.
Blake could try and dunk a three maybe. ::)
And another good pick with Steph. Was robbed of an allstar spot this season.
Not a bad pick so far I think.
Now we play the waiting for koop game

You could play Westbrook in the position he was drafted as a SG
Quote from: Jayman on March 24, 2013, 12:38:46 PM

No chance, Love is a beast. Blake is all flashy highlights where Love is a pure baller
Ty Lawson please
Interesting pick with Ty, he has had a great season. Take your pick Windi :)
I just think that for a dynasty draft, Blake has the higher ceiling. Once he gets his midrange game he will be almost unstoppable offensively.
Well I select Paul George. Is an absolute beast of a player at 22.
PG: Derrick Rose
SF: Paul George
Interesting. Gossi up?
With the 11th(?) overall selection in the NBA youth draft team F*ck defense/yung blood select:
Brook Lopez. 24 year old centre, putting up 19 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.5 blocks/game this season. His 24.9 PER is the 4th highest in the league this season, possesses a beautiful post game. Will be able to run the PnR game with Kyrie.
PG - Kyrie
C - BLopez
25 and under hey? And this is a dynasty yeah?
Well I take Andrew Bynum... Guy still has plenty of basketball ahead of him. And I back him to get his knees right this off-season and be firing for 2013-2014.
Best back-to-the-basket player in the NBA and when fit he IS THE BEST CENTRE IN THE NBA.
Durant and Bynum :-*
Am I the only one who isn't shocked Jay chose Bynum? :P.
So I'm up and I pick Greg Monroe.
PG: Westbrook
PF: Griffin
C: Monroe

possibly because it doesnt matter how much talent you have if your sitting on the bench injured. Deosnt matter though Durrant will cover that.

your pick Holz
going to take abit of a risk here, this guy is pure potential. Taking into account his injuries he is having an amazing rookie season. Has the skillset to be the top PF/C in a few years and infact quite a few analyst have him being the top PF in 2015.
his effeciency is off the charts, has an amzing wingspan and is super quick which will make him a top shot bloker and rebounder, potentially the best in the game. If you have slow big men this guy will carve you up. The plan is to build a dynasty and this guy at 19 is the right man to do it.
Athony Davis
PG: Stephen Curry
SG: James Harden
SF:
PF: Athony Davis
C:
havent got a pick for a while, but im happy how im going. Got the best shooter in the league, one of the offensive powerhouse in the league and the guy with easily the most potential out of the young big men.
Greg Monroe was the guy I wanted... :(

Beneath all the hate, they know how good Bynum is. I back him to be dominant for this dynasty at some point and so should everyone else.
Getting those pesky knees right is the only thing stopping him from regaining mantle as no.1 centre
Norris Cole at pick 1 would've been better value than Bynum.
Jay keeps saying he's going to "regain" his spot at number 1 centre, I've got some news for you mate, you can't regain something you never had.
Dwight has averaged more points/rebounds/blocks and had a higher PER every year, a higher rebound % every year, as well as having a higher defensive and offensive rating, more defensive and offensive win shares and a better TS %.
I have never seen a more one-sided comparison in stats.
All that was when Bynum had knees, they don't exist anymore making the pick even worse. Think Jay just forfeited this draft cos he'll only have 4 players on the court.
My turn?
DeMarcus Cousins

Ha I'll draw up some comparisions between MJ and Kwame... Bet they are more one-sided than Dwight vs. Bynum
He was the no.1 centre mate... Dwight is an over-sized PF, Bynum is a traditional centre that can score with his back to the basket, something that Dwight is poor at. Ever see Dwight show up in the 4th quarter? Even on his Magic days, he got Lebron syndrome and you barely noticed him.
I remember this game... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZVkKiTOu6Q :'(
The guy has had a 30rebound game, got a triple double and can score 30+ on anybody... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqtkZRvumws
Did I mention, he has a ring? 8)
Obviously Kwame's 2 points and 2 rebounds/game are GOAT but he's just superhuman.
He might be short but he's been the player in the league at the centre position for ~5 years. Doesn't matter whether they're a PnR centre or a low post guy the best centre is the guy who puts up the best numbers and has the biggest impact on their team, which has unquestionably been Dwight Howard. Obviously his post moves are elite cos he's a post-up centre. Howard is fine in the clutch, he doesn't step his game up like MJ did but his stats in crunch time are still better than bynum's in similar situations.
You can't take one 30 rebound game and say he's the best because of one game. He can also score 5 points on anyone and make some of the stupidest decisions you'll ever see on a basketball court..
And he was obviously the reason the lakers 'shipped in 2010, his 8.6 points and 6.9 rebounds/game in the playoffs obviously mega elite, robbed of finals MVP that year.

Of course I question his consistency and his mindset, but the potential is still there and he has shown he has the talent. At 12 in a dynasty draft was an easy pick given the level I think he can reach in the coming seasons, if this was a 'season' draft would obviously have not taken.
The 30 rebound games and the 42 point game and the double digit block games just show his POTENTIAL and he can do when he wants to - when he is on, no one can stop him.
Just hope he realises what he can achieve when he tries and stop shooting those flowering threes ::)

The 30 rebound games and the 42 point game and the double digit block games just show his POTENTIAL and he can do when he wants to - when he is on, no one can stop him.
Just hope he realises what he can achieve when he tries and stop shooting those flowering threes ::)
There's no doubt the potential's there but just pointing out that Dwight's unquestionably the best centre in the league for the past 5 years, with the exception of this season, Bynum would've slipped a long way in this draft.

Norris Cole at pick 1 would've been better value than Bynum.
Jay keeps saying he's going to "regain" his spot at number 1 centre, I've got some news for you mate, you can't regain something you never had.
Dwight has averaged more points/rebounds/blocks and had a higher PER every year, a higher rebound % every year, as well as having a higher defensive and offensive rating, more defensive and offensive win shares and a better TS %.
I have never seen a more one-sided comparison in stats.
All that was when Bynum had knees, they don't exist anymore making the pick even worse. Think Jay just forfeited this draft cos he'll only have 4 players on the court.
Ha I'll draw up some comparisions between MJ and Kwame... Bet they are more one-sided than Dwight vs. Bynum
He was the no.1 centre mate... Dwight is an over-sized PF, Bynum is a traditional centre that can score with his back to the basket, something that Dwight is poor at. Ever see Dwight show up in the 4th quarter? Even on his Magic days, he got Lebron syndrome and you barely noticed him.
I remember this game... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZVkKiTOu6Q :'(
The guy has had a 30rebound game, got a triple double and can score 30+ on anybody... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqtkZRvumws
Did I mention, he has a ring? 8)
Obviously Kwame's 2 points and 2 rebounds/game are GOAT but he's just superhuman.
He might be short but he's been the player in the league at the centre position for ~5 years. Doesn't matter whether they're a PnR centre or a low post guy the best centre is the guy who puts up the best numbers and has the biggest impact on their team, which has unquestionably been Dwight Howard. Obviously his post moves are elite cos he's a post-up centre. Howard is fine in the clutch, he doesn't step his game up like MJ did but his stats in crunch time are still better than bynum's in similar situations.
You can't take one 30 rebound game and say he's the best because of one game. He can also score 5 points on anyone and make some of the stupidest decisions you'll ever see on a basketball court..

Could not have seen Bynum lasting until my next pick - only reason he might of is because people might have though it was 24 and under, cutoff being exactly 25...
I mean, he is better than Lawson, George and Monroe

Doubt anyone would've gone near a guy with degenerative knees with their third pick
I reckon I need a shooting guard, so I pick Eric Gordon. If he can get a decent run with no injuries he has shown that he can be a quality player. :)
Once he gets out of New Orleans next year he should find his feet. He never wanted to play there in the first place! :P

nice pick, the kid can play.
wouldnt be a bad idea to stay there, I would stick around davis if i could.
TBH, I don't think he will. I heard he might got to Detroit. They've got a big center that can go places as well! :P
Problem with Detroit they have too many flowering guards. :o
Jay there's absolutely nothing to suggest he'll ever be the best centre in the league. You do realise a degenerative knee condition means his knees will never be back to full strength, right? It'd be lucky for him to play 50 games next season.
Didn't get a PM but think it's my pick? Not sure how this guy slipped this far but going to take one of the premier shot blockers in the league, the serge protector.
Great shot blocker, great help defender, great defender in general, awesome athleticism, still has a long way to go to fulfil his potential, also a very good rebounder and surprisingly has one of the best mid-range games in the NBA and he's only 23
Kyrie's a good defender, BLopez is extremely average on D though so Iblocka will be a tremendous help defender for brook. Also a low USG % player which fits in well as both lopez and kyrie do their best work with the ball in their hands.
PG - Kyrie
SG -
SF -
PF - Ibaka
C - BLopez.
Think it's jay up for b2b picks then me again? Not sure...

Ibaka is the guy i was considering, was tough between him and davis. Just think davis has the potential to be an absoulte beat on offense and defense. Ibaka one of the best defensive big men in the league. top pick.
bit unfair to have Lopez and Ibaka.
Am I up?
This was a very tough pick, was tossing up between 3 top young point guards but have decided on taking... Damien Lillard
Kid is a ROY lock and is having an outstanding season. Take a look at Lillard's rookie stats vs Irving's rookie stats
Lillard 2012-13 stats: 19ppg, 6.3apg, 3rpg, 43%FG
Irving 2011-12 stats: 18.5ppg, 5.4apg, 4rpg, 46%FG,
So going by that, I can't see why Lillard can't challenge Irving for the no.1 PG spot in the future. He has the clutch gene, got a great outside shot, has great handles and can find a team mate. Also won the Skills Challenge in his rookie year which says something about the kid's talent.
Pick 2... Kenneth Faried. Love this bloke, he is a huge reason as to why the Nuggets are now contenders in the west. Averaging a double double and also a block + a steal per game, this is a guy I want on my team. He turns up and puts 100% in every night and his hustle is awesome. He is only in his 2nd season so I expect some great improvement in the next few seasons and can realistically see him being a top 3 PF. Brings some energy to my side that I can count on for great defense, some dunks and awesome rebounding.
PG: Lillard
SG:
SF: Durant
PF: Faried
C: Bynum
Like Lillard here, obv ROY, won't be better than Kyrie but will be top 5 PG.
Taking the 6'10'' Italion Stallion Danilo Gallinari.
Guy can be a 1st or 3rd option on different nights, putting up 16.2 ppg, shooting 3's at 37% this season with a 16.8 PER, mega elite defender who can guard the 2, 3 or 4. Will play a huge role on this team in guarding the opponent's best wing and can spread the floor on offence as well as being very good at taking the ball to the rim and earning trips to the FT line.
Will also play as my 2nd option in the clutch when Kyrie gets doubled:

PG - Kyrie
SG -
SF - Gallo
PF - Serge
C - BLopez
Also are we drafting a pg, wing and a big for a bench?
Yeah, as before.
Is it? :o
Can't believe we are actually mowing down the rounds unlike the other drafts we've done...:
The guy is still young and that trade Miami did to get the big 3 really shook up his progress a bit, but at 23. The potential is there for him to dominate the floor is there, he has the tools, just maybe the adjustment from being a college powerhouse to the NBA was too much for him early...
MICHAEL BEASLEY
PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Eric Gordon
SF: Paul George
PF: Michael Beasley
C:
Beasley makes me want to puke. Tweener who has struggled at the elite level.
Yeah Beasley is a bust I'm afraid. Never seen so much talent gone to waste - had superstar potential...
So we draft 5 benchies too? Great, will seperate the men from the boys.
Oh man you did not just take Beas...
PER gone down every year he's been in the league: 17.2, 16.1, 15.5, 13, 10.8 (league average = 15) on a cancerous 46% TS, a horrible 87 offensive rating and 108 defensive rating as well as 3.4 turnovers/game and had -1.3 win shares this season.
Also, the usg % of your players:
Rose - 30.5%
Gordon - 29.4%
George - 23.7%
Beasley - 27.5%
That's 3 guys with extremely high usages and one with a high usage, means that all 4 of your guys need the ball in their hands. Gonna be a train wreck.

Beasley kills any team
Too be fair he did have a good year when he averaged 19 points (top 20 in league) and played & started every game he was available for Minnesota.
Whose to say the Beasley can't work off the bench for my team. Come back to this in 7 years when he doesn't play for a shower team for once.
Beasley likes to shoot and he could be a good two-bit player off the bench, defense is putrid and he is lazy, but he could flick the switch and actually get with it in the next 7 years. You've gotta take that into account.
- Knew I would cop shower for this pick. ::)
The Worst of Beasley (One Eg) -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmri0QZYKks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmri0QZYKks) :P
usage:
Harden 28.5%
Curry 26.1%
Davis 21.7%
liking that spread. Harden is 18th in ussage and curry likes to shoot but thats why i went with davis as he doesnt need the ball.

Harden is actually 11th in usage mate...
What surprised me is that Kevin Durant although being the best scorer and the best shooter in the world (yes he is a better shooter than Curry, Holz) is not even in the top 5 of usage. NBAstuffer has him at 6th going at 30.1% :o
Reason why I took Lillard is I want Durant to be the main option when possible and Lillard's usage is very low for a PG going at 24.2% ranking 58th overall and there are 12 higher usage PGs in front of him INCLUDING the other 2 PGs I was considering for my 3rd pick. This made the decision relatively easy.

Deeper we go into playoffs the worse we will get due to our guns being 35+ getting fatigued. 1st round gives us a decent crack at Miami who will be tired from keeping this 'streak' alive.

I'll be taking Nicolas Batum and Jrue Holiday (think he's still available).
Not sure if I will move Westbrook to SG or just play Holiday off the bench, but couldn't pass up on him.
Both very good picks. 8)
Cheers. 2k is helping a lot. ;)
Holz's team gets my vote :) How good is Wall!?!?!? Only did not go him because I wanted a low usage PG e.g. Lillard
Nice work too ML! Who we up to?
Really, my double pick?
Hmm better do some quick research
Haha 2k is great for this sort of thing, ML!
I haven't used 2k for this draft, just my knowledge. ::)
Beasley was off the top of my head and and it's safe to say it wasn't the best choice, but I have faith. He isn't as bad as Kwame or Thabeet FFS! :P
Looking forward to picking my center soon. 8)
Definitely isn't jay's pick. Think holz is up again.

Shouldn't think so, seeing as it's a normal snake draft now it should go Jay - Me - Windi - Koop - Holz - ML - ML - Holz - Koop - Windi - Me - Jay.
Seeing as ML just took his double pick I'm pretty sure Holz is up and Koop's on deck
Yeah, I looked back at the order and I was wrong. :P

Dropped quite a bit but there were a few quality PGs out there. Pretty damn good pick though this stage for what he could do.
Now I will pick the guy who is the deserving DPOY, absolute beast on defence.
He leads the NBA with 3.1 blocks per game and limits opposing power forwards to a 12 PER (Player Efficiency Rating). For comparison chandler and noah have their opponents going 16.
with Anthony Davis, simply you cant score in the post on that matchup.

Kahwi Leonard?
Very good pick. Was eyeing him off for my bench for a while now. If the 2011 draft were to be re-done right now he goes #2. Also the reason that the spurs are already further along in the rebuilding process than most of the cellar dwellers in the league.

cheers goss, learning more and more as each day passes., now to pick the bench!
windi up
I think you know more than your letting on! :P
Well I think I need a dominant young center and this bloke has it all.
4th in rebounds for the center position, 13th in scoring for center as well. Including a monster 27 board game this year.
3rd overall in boards per game, 4th in total boards, 6th in doubles doubles. Basically top 10 in every rebound category. :)
He is the replacement D12 for Orlando. A steady improver all year, upping his stats every single month...
He has more double-doubles than All star reserves Chandler or Noah.
Get on him.
NIKOLA VUCEVIC. 8)
Good pick. Goes under-rated... Is it me yet? :[
After Goss. :P
Taking OJ Mayo to start at SG.
25 years old, 16.4 points, 4.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds. Gonna play as a spot up shooter for me, and spread the floor, shooting 41% from 3 this season.
PG - Kyrie
SG - OJ
SF - Gallo
PF - Ibaka
C - BLopez
Jay's double pick.
Was thinking about taking OJ Mayo - great pick Gossi
Think Tyreke Evans has the higher ceiling though. Went 20, 5 and 5 in his rookie year - Charles Barkley think he will turn out to be a perennial all-star.
PG: Lillard
SG: Tyreke
SF: Durant
PF: Faried
C: Bynum
Before I take next pick, what are the rules for our benches?
Thought about tyreke but needed 3 point shooting and mayo's the better shooter.
Think we just draft another 5 guys for the bench
With my next pick I will take... Brandon Jennings
How did he not go already? Averaging 18pts 7apg and 3rbg. Last year he averaged 19 points, also good for a couple of steals a game.
Will have my pick up in an hour or so. No idea who I'm taking yet
Thought Jennings was taken ages ago :o
How I got him with my 6th rounder is :o :o :o
Taking Andre Drummond. Couldn't afford to let someone else take him.
Another mega elite big on defense, Drummond's rookie year has seen him put up 7.3 points , 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks/game in just 19 minutes. Shooting an elite 59% from the field and 50% on three's (1-2 on three's at the end of the shot clock ;) ).
His numbers have seen him put up a 22.3 PER, the 14th highest of all time amongst rookies (amongst players who played the minimum number of games) and easily the highest amongst this years rooks on just 16% USG. His 0.177 wins added/48 minutes also the highest amongst rookies this season. Insane 114 ORtg and 99 DRtg also.
Lol Lawrence Frank only playing him 19 minutes/game.
He gets like 5 mins for my Detroit team in 2k13. Rashard Lewis is getting more game time than him. :P
I asked for a PF since I'm a SF and Prince got moved to PF. Were getting smashed on the boards with only Monroe doing anything. But now got a great young PF with a trade in Houston. Should go in this draft I reckon.....

Get him more minutes immediately, one of my favourite players in the league. Started an association with the hornets a few months back, first thing I did was trade for Drummond. Drummond + Brow both 90+ ratings, only paying each of them $8M a season. Got Chris Paul running the point, Wiggins starting SF and Mayo as 6th man. Won the west last season but lost to the heat in 6. Finished top of the West and about to start playoffs in 4th season.
Also, you're up windi
Where is Windi? :o
Yeah, internet had a meltdown on Friday, haven;t been able to get on until now. So I'm pretty happy to see some Dt scores. :P
Well I pick Kemba Walker. This man is the future for Charlotte.
Koop's pick
So your counting on Faried to play both C & PF by himself then? Seems legit. :P
ahh sorry, I had no idea, lemme do a bit of research, but, which possie do you think is the first you need to draft on the bench?

Just get the best player left...Although I will say the PG position is pretty rich for talent. I'd maybe get a big man...But your call...

KD is 6ft9 so he isn't too tiny and could play PF.
You guys don't know Bynum's situation right now and for all you know he could play 82 games next season! He would have the best doctors working on him and you're kidding yourself if you say his career is over. Just an easy target because of all his injuries, just completely ignore the fact he is an absolute beast.
At least you can't pay me out about John Wall anymore... You all spazzed at me for saying he will be better than Irving. Meanwhile he has come back and turned the Wizards into a playoff looking team - they would have 8th seed right now if Wall was fit from day 1. #betterthanirving #bynumoverdwight #comeatme

So my man Faried had 19 boards, 4 blocks today. 12 points too. Another double double :D
time to skip koop?
my team is so good Jay i have john wall as a 6th man and as you say better than irving apparently.
Pffft.
May main man Vucevic had 16 points, 14 boards, 2 blocks & 4 steals yesterday. 8)

Yeah your bench is flowering amazing so far. But my starting 5? Can't beat it
And yes of course I think Wall over Irving. Why would I change ::)
I wouldn't mind getting more spots for my bench...
...Koop....?
Kemba & Wall average EXACTLY the same PPG. :o
Yeah, I think Kemba is pretty under-rated. Kid can score!
Wall's average is a bit off considering he came off the bench for a few games when he was returning from injury
Finally a believer. :D
Scores, dunks & drops the dimes. The future for Charlotte along with :-X JR. :P

A bit off because he's spent a fair bit of time on the bench this year :P
Wall's unsubbed average, to put it into footy terms, would be like 20ppg. Kemba aint even close to his level imo.
I was right about Wall and I'll be right about Bynum too. Just wait :)
That time when you all payed me out about Wall and now he is dropping 40+ and making the Wizards look like a playoff team......
I don't think anyone doubted how good Wall is, it's just that he's not, and never will be, as good as Kyrie Irving.
Maybe... Come back to this argument in 10 years time... :P

Sorry, struggling with no list
Derrick Favors taken?
Favors all good.
Ryan Anderson
last years most improved player, posting some good numbers at his new club.
6-10 SF and is another shooter, its obvious im going to be deadly on the mid range and 3 point shots.
"He's a versatile offensive weapon that can play a number of positions and score from the inside or out."
he shoudl work well with davis and there was actually a bleacher article on this.
'The attention paid to Anderson on the outside opens up more space for Davis on the inside to operate. Anderson is selfless enough with the ball to give Davis opportunities to score in the paint with good passes.'
"As long as these two are on the court together, the Hornets will have a mismatch they can exploit for years to come"
Strengthening my backcourt by taking Ricky Rubio and Klay Thompson.
Just cos really.

Koop up again?
Plenty of options. 8)
Look at Houston! :-X
KOOP? >:(

Gotta remember my team again, oh yeah Beasley! :P
I select J.J Hickson? Pretty sure he ain't picked....
12 points & 10 boards a game this year! ;)
PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Eric Gordon
SF: Paul George
PF: J.J Hickson
C: Nikola Vucevic
6: Kemba Walker
7:
8:
9: Michael Beasley
10:
Awesome. Lets go Goss
no idea who was gonna be my next pick. give me 5.
thaddeus young
AVERY BRADLEY
The best defensive guard in the league, part of the best defensive backcourt in the league and most importantly the best on-ball defender in the league. Did I mention he was a good defender? ;) at only 22 years of age it will be crazy to think how good he will be in his prime. His offensive game is coming along nicely and he is hitting the open shots that Rondo and co. give him!
ENES KANTER
Quality young centre that does not get much of an opportunity behind Millsap and Big Al in Utah. Per 36mins he is averaging 17points, 10rebounds and a block. When he eventually gets the starting role - and it is only a matter of time, he will be a great player. Only in his 2nd season and 20 years old too :)
PG: Lillard / Jennings
SG: Evans / Bradley
SF: Durant
PF: Faried
C: Bynum / Kanter

SF: Kahwi Leonard
PF: Kevin Love
C: DeMarcus Cousins
BENCH:
PG:
SG: Marcus Thornton

Alright Holz is up :)
Dion Waiters
ML double pick time :)
Ok. I might take a short while because I don't know who has been drafted and don't know my team. :P
But other than that, I should be right.
Don't think these 2 have been taken.
DeAndre Jordan and Danny Green.
Reading back through the thread, Jayman's love for Bynum was unreal ;D
Some ridiculously good late picks; Deandre, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Drummond

Have not seen many better players at age 24 than KD. Will finish his career as one of the greatest scorers of all time.
Will PM Gossi
huge call there Jay.
Lebron at tha same age was going 7.9 7.2 30.0
KD would average 40 on that team. Scores so easily - can't wait for *unpicked player* to either get traded or quit so KD can go 40/9/5.
the unpicked player coudl outscore durrant if he was on another team.
Oh no way. That is crazy! Seriously Holz...

25.1 points for KD
