Current rosters DRAFT competition - Official Draft Thread

[AxelFoley]

Going with Dirk. Just over LMA. Will update with more explanation later as I'm out at the moment

Stop giving everyone hints dude! (Not that I need a PF, I already the best in the A )

 

[peternorth]

with the 10th pick the Tongue Punches select at centre the man who isnt afraid to get his man boobs out..... Andrew Bynum

with the 11th pick the Tongue Punches select at point guard....

Russell Westbrook

Interesting picks. Two current combatants. Second best centre in the league.

AB is young, dumb, full of c......craziness. So talented, big and capable of taking over a game, and the league. He just needs the right coach and an injury free year to go bang

Dodgy knees and all, AB will forever be known as being linked with jason kidd. JASON KIDD? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

His game is still developing to the extent of shooting from distance. Expect to see him in the 3 pt challenge next year.

Here's AB in happier times

Russ. Another UCLA alumni. Loves to shoot first, ask questions later.

Do me a favour and GTFO of this series chuckbrook.

With PICK 12 the BEVERLY HILLS COPS select Brooklyn's finest:

Cant stop looking at the jersey. will need to look at it more later.
Picked after CP3 in this draft, but does he care?
To me, a slightly larger version of CP3 with range and less speed.
Always mentioned in a group of 5 when pundits talk about the best PGs in the league. Wont mention who the others are.

As for the Brook....

Pick 13 - Tony Parker

The Frenchman led the Spurs brilliantly this year and should have polled better in MVP voting. The best point guard left on the table at this pick.

Interesting pick. I dont see the lightning quick cheese eating surrender guard as a PG. Perhaps its cause he's not the flashy pass first man. But gets the job done, and loves getting into the paint.

People love his babyface looks. But let's not forget, this man has various guises around the world:

Straight cash homie selects: LaMarcus Aldridge PF/C

Straight cash homie selects: LaMarcus Aldridge PF/C

interesting pic, but versatile.

Long, long man with a long widespan. Seems to have a long aversion to rebounding too, or am i expecting too much of a 7 footer?

LeMarcus LeAldrige. Solid pick. How will he go with Kobe?

 

[nufan]

The Cunning Stunts ask for a brief interval because GM Shade of Straight Cash Homie stole their pick.

With the next pick the Cunning Stunts select.

This pick will draw some heat but locking down the recently named DPOY who also has never been an all star.

A proven defensive stalwart who is good for a double double on any given night, shoots the ball at an amazingly high % and blocks shots, and no better player to run the PnR with Derrick Rose.

Proven over the years to make players around him better and teams as a whole, may be the missing piece to get D-Rose to the promised land.

Looking forward to see which Knicks PP and Axel finish with

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Bynum so so early.

not really. 2nd best center in the league and i didnt get a pick for a while.
guards are a dime dozen. the gap between quality centres is huge.

With the next pick the Cunning Stunts select.

kinda think this is a nice pick. Chandler had a great year in dallas who have always had big lumps of shit masquerading as pivotmen. Big they may have been but not as effective as Chandler.

Some may argue that Chandler is this generations Bill Russell.
Others argue those "some" are lunatics.

Seems like a nice guy too

On closer analysis I feel this is a strategic pick. Alex and PP will need to fight over bibby and b-diddys knee cap.

Dont think Dirty Bird is in the draft and he's gone bananas starting shit from the crowd Detroit style! so I'd say your all good!

 

[nufan]

I'd say your all good!

Second the motion. I posted a fair bit in the all time draft.

Thoughts so far Vinny?

 

[JP Sauce]

Playing social ball, I'll pick in a couple of hours when I get home.

 

[JP Sauce]

Chad can we have a draft board ala the All Time NBA Draft so see who has been taken, where and if someone has fulfilled the extra criteria etc?

This please. It's already kind of confusing to work out who has been taken.

 

[JP Sauce]

Okay I want a big guy and I think he'd work beautifully with CP3. Plus he's ****ing awesome, despite the accusations of softness.

I choose the much maligned:

 

[nufan]

I think he'd work beautifully with CP3.

 

[JP Sauce]

Hahaha

Just a little bit of messing around between new team mates.

 

[jod23]

Did somebody just pick Pau Gasol. Lolz...

No idea who has been taken. All very confusing. Need draft board.

 

[PHX]

Wow. Never expected this guy to fall to me, assuming I didn't miss him get drafted by someone.

Rajon Rondo.

 

[Chadwiko]

Damn you PHX! He was my next pick! DAMN.

Anyways, i've put together a draft board. Enjoy.

(PN, feel free to also chip in and update the draft board if I haven't done it after a couple of picks in a row)



I'm now tossing up who to take for my next pick, after PHX stole Rondo from me.

 

[Chadwiko]

In a move that nbaman1 quoted as "the steal of the draft", the Uptown Five select Kevin Garnett.

This pick was made for numerous reasons; versatility, defensive prowess, talent, and it helps that he also satisfies the 'player from the team you support' criteria.

At this stage, i'm not sure if i'll play him at PF or C. It depends on who else I pick up in the draft.

 

[Westy Bogan]

Dwight and Rondo on the same team... Who's gonna shoot free throws?
