Fucking baffling to take Melo over Bosh. How can you actually justify that? Melo has C defense. Bosh looks pretty amazing, probably going to be the best big man in the league before long. We see guys like Zo, Webb, Brand DOMINATING--absolutely killing--and Bosh comes in with B/C offense which will likely be better than those guys in no time. I mean, forget that; Bosh has B defense to Melo's C! Unreal. That's an amazing diference. I really think that pick by Skillz sucked. So I guess you would take Kaman over Josh Howard too? That's not even a KIND OF similar comparison.

That's not even a KIND OF similar comparison. how is not? I don't know. I spent the whole time talking about how Melo is an awful pick because of his defense. Kaman and Howard both have B defense, so that throws that comparison out the window.

Outlawz is officially on the clock. 4 hour time limit starting at 9 AM PST.
If he doesnt select he gets Kaman.
4 hour time limits for the board run drafts. Probably 9 AM PST to 9 PM PST are good windows to conduct those time limits.

Knicks Select Chris Kaman
Had a couple of deals in the work but not going to make you guys wait any longer. I need a big who can score a little next to tc so hopefully Kaman can provide that

I would have taken Melo over bosh too. If you focus the RC's on his D and hope that you can get a midseason progression boost on him his d wont be that bad. I think without RC's it'll be B.. WIth RC's it can even go to B+. Melo looks like a monster scorer and a much better rebounder than the previous version. Bosh always looks good in sims but doesnt neccesarily translate because of poor percentages. I think skillz picked the right guy, imo. The first tc should dictate who made the right pick

I'm in the Melo camp. He should be playing with fucking Gilbert.
Fuck.

I also agree that Melo was the right pick at 2, he just looks sick.
