Will we have to wait as long for Jod23 this time?

Backing him in to keep us rolling!

 

[Chadwiko]

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

This guy

 

[nufan]

C'mon Jod23. Itching to make my next pick.

 

[Dirty Bird]

patience is a virtue.

 

[AxelFoley]

Will we have to wait as long for Jod23 this time?

Yes...

 

[JP Sauce]

So he's online at 4am to lolz at Pau, but then disappears when he's actually needed.

 

[Chadwiko]

Yeah, i found it ironic that everyone signed up for a 'business hours' draft, but then 90% of the first round picks were made over night

 

[Surkin]

Just give him Luke Walton and Hasheem Thabeet

 

[peternorth]

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:

Arguably the most skilled Euro big to come out of Europe (see what i did there?) outside of Germany.

Can beat you from anywhere on the court now that he has established a 3 pt shot.

If you want Pau to play tough, you need to challenge his toughness. Then he'll be like Mario eating a magic toadstool.

A double double threat every night Kobe isn't on the floor, and happy to be the second fiddle.

I only fear that he and CP3 will continue to touch each others heads. And also that on their shoulders.

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

Rajon Rondo.

As others have eluded to, FTs?

Does it matter? The guy plays with a chip on his shoulder. Play at home, get 10+ assists without trying.

You must control him but, otherwise he is likely to blow (up). Ensure him that his bug eyes are completely normal and that refs aren't out to get him.

Rajon to Dwight. Money

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.

Speaking of chip on his shoulder....

Good strategy to get your player early. Gives other managers a real headache now, and potentially harms their preconceived drafting order.

Very glad to see KLove go in the first round.

The suit should have been a dead giveaway. My apologies.

 

[peternorth]

i thought my strong grip was the giveaway

 

[jod23]

Now I have to make back to back selections!

Oh and Chad... if anybody fills a criteria can you add that to the draft board.

Cheers.

 

[nufan]

By the time of Jod23s 2nd pick I plan on drafting Anthony Davis to hopefully nail all my extra criteria

Good jump shot?

Fran Vazquez could even be an option for me soon.

Surkin: Melo, team you support
Nufan: Chandler. starter not an all star.
Jod23: Wall, non all star starter.
