Howd your draft go?

[Spencer]

I like what Indiana, Golden State and Miami did.

Pacers added 3 guys that could play alot. Richardson should be very nice. Arroyo and Moon are also solid players that can give good minutes.

Warriors got JJ and Curry. Curry wont be anything close to what he's been in previous BBS's, but he will be solid. JJ should be a stud.

Heat got 3 guys that could play alot. Gasol and Simmons could both start next year, while Hermann could be a solid bench player.

[WillC]

I got...

Willie Solomon PG 23 6'1'' 185 C C B- C D- D

...with the last pick of the draft. Stud.

[James]

NO ONE.

[KG]

Hopefully Collins doesn't bomb during TC and is at least mildly useful for a couple of seasons.

[Tigertecz]

Round 1:

#11 - Kwame Brown PF 19 6'11'' 243 C+ C C C+ C+ A
- If he's nothing like he's like in real life, I think we'll have a great PF for the future! lol I like the look of his ratings, and if he has high real potential, I think Kwame might develop into a really solid big in this league, and good bigs are hard to get. I was quite confident that I could get Brown at 11 so had him quite high on my list.

#20 - Etan Thomas C 23 6'9'' 256 C+ C- D B- B- B
- With Lewis and Marion already occupying my 2 and 3 positions, I needed to make sure I had solid bigs. Etan helps out along with Kwame and (Kurt) Thomas too. He should be able to contribute very soon.


Round 2:

#12 - Loren Woods PF 23 7'1'' 245 C+ C- D- B- C+ C
- He's got good size, and arguable better ratings than Kwame Brown right now lol.

[WillC]

Kwame Brown was 7th on my list.

In fact, I'm shocked he slipped to #11, so I'll go and have a look to see who was taken before him…

[WillC]

Yeah, I'm quite surprised to see that Diop and Okur were drafted ahead of him. I guess people were worried that Kwame would bust in this league like he did in real life, but then again it's not like Diop is a stud in the NBA. I'd have taken the gamble on Kwame - Spencer has already said that players will be different in this league to real life.

I also had Kwame ahead of Randolph and Jefferson on my list, but I can see why people might prefer those two.

[Tigertecz]

I had RJ ahead of Kwame. I think Kwame was 8th on my list, with Diop, Rnadolph and Okur below him. With a C+ in the main three ratings for bigs and A potential, he looks set to be a good fundamental PF. Having a C in handling and outside is a bonus, as most bigs will have D's in those two. Anyway, I'm hopeful.

[noves]

I'm pretty happy with my draft.

#2 - Jason Richardson SG 20 6'6'' 220 B C+ C C+ C A

He was #2 on my board all along, I also considered JJ, but JRich just looks like he could be a franchise player.

#29 - Carlos Arroyo PG 22 6'2'' 220 C C B- C+ D+ B

Very pleased he fell to me at 29. He should be a nice back-up and a solid spot-starter.

#30 - Jamario Moon SF 21 6'8'' 200 C+ C C- B C C

At 30, I just figured I'd take a gamble, if he has potential, he could be another nice back-up/spot-starter.

[duceisinmyheart]

Got Okur with my pick...

was hoping to jump up to land Chandler but didn't happen.

Okur if he develops will be a very nice #2 or #3 option on my team. I already got good perimeter defender in S-Jax and Artest.. if I can add maybe another good scorer at the 1 and a good defender at the 4 I should be contending.

[cjmjones008]

the 4 or 5 guys i was hoping to get 1 of all went right ahead of my pick so i had no idea who to take and went with cisse... hopefully he developes well

[WillC]

Cisse was one of my favourite playerse in real life, I wish he'd made it in the NBA.

I really hoped he'd fall to me in the late 2nd round but I guess that was never gonna happen. Nice pick, cjmjones008.

Cisse is usually very good in my leagues.

Willie Solomons agent demanded a 3rd year from Will because of this comment, and so Will cut him. Tough negotiator.

[Tigertecz]

Any hints on Kwame Brown's likely development Spence?

[duceisinmyheart]

"Kwame Brown is another hit or miss type. A couple of scouts love his size and athletic ability, but most scouts really don't trust his attitude. It seems as though most will pass on him"

[DB]

omar cook, yes!

[Skillz]

Picked up Tinsley, he looks solid

[Phoenix Phil]

#6 - Richard Jefferson - I'm extremely pleased with getting RJ. His defense makes him an asset even if he doesn't develop offensively, but I think he has the upside to improve his scoring.

#20 - Steve Hunter - I took a shot at a young big man... hopefully he can develop into a good shot blocker.

[Aaron2344]

Essentially got Haywood for free. Two 2nds isn't much for a guy who can potentially backup the 5, maybe even start. Plus he's our best rebounder from day 1...sad.

[Rocky]

I like Dalembert a lot actually. If this is anything like last BBS - and it is - shot blocking will have major value. If nothing else, Dalembert will give me shot blocking.

[KJKeelty]

Got Norman Richardson in Round 2

Norman Richardson SG 24 6'5'' 200 C C+ C- C C- D

Better watch out, Kobe. Looks like a sleeper here.

[Ducky]

I like Eddie Griffin. 19 and young. Hopefully he doesn't bust.

[Ebener 12]

Very happy with Gasol, when I fell out of the top 3 I was reallly hoping Gasol would be left on the board.

He had a nice TC going up from C+ to B defensively, and C+ to B- with his rebounding rating. His inside didn't go up but he has averaged over 20 ppg early in the year.
