[Drumroe]

Pick 37

I need a wing and I need some defence, so I'm taking the best there is:

Almost took him with my pick over Deng, just thought his lack of shooting wouldnt work well enough with Wade

 

[JP Sauce]

Yeah I wanted Deng because he's a Bull, but otherwise Iggy was who I wanted at this pick.

 

[PHX]

Arron Afflalo.

Great defender and will help spread the floor with his outside shooting. Just what I need.

And he'll satisfy my starting all-star need.

 

[JP Sauce]

Very interesting.

 

[PHX]

Interesting in what way, Ketchup?

Now to wait and hope that Chad and Jod don't take my other wanted pick before it's my go again.

 

[JP Sauce]

I guess as you said, you wanted outside shooting and defence which is what he gives you. Also a non-All-Star starter.

It's interesting because there's other high profile players available in that position, although I understand why you overlooked them.

 

[nufan]

Very interesting.

I do not hate that pick at all.

 

[Drumroe]

I do not hate that pick at all.

Agreed, a great role player. Plays great D and hits open shots

 

[PHX]

Yeah maybe higher profile remaining but either nut-jobs, chuckers, or both. Arron is better than them all at the SG.

Logic. Don't argue with it

I should point out you missed this gem http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4768

A SG that averages 1.5assists per point? Wow, is truly the inverse of a chucker.

3:1 Assist to TO ratio as well

 

[nufan]

True shooting % Is questionable, but a team player no less.

 

[peternorth]

some really interesting picks of late.

Have you swallowed your mic Pete? Commentary has gone cold...

 

[Chadwiko]

With the 39th pick in the draft, the Uptown Five select Steve Nash

Steve Nash dishing the ball to KD, KG, and The Beard? Oh my, yes please.

 

[Chadwiko]

Now that we're about to be in the fifth round, as you make your fifth selections can you please also post your team line-up's as they currently stand?

When you do this, i'll add it to the OP.

 

[AxelFoley]

Chad the draft board needs some editing:

1. nufan picked Eric Gordon as his supported team player (not Okafor lols). His pick of Tyson Chandler is not his supported team pick (just Non-all star)

2. Surkin's pick of Kyrie Irving would also qualify as a non-allstar starter

3. Liam's pick of Andrew Bogut would be his non-allstar starter

4. Amare would be PP's supported team pick

Thanks.

For future reference, people need to explicitly clarify such criteria as they make their picks, please

Oh, and when you make the picks, please actually write the persons name. As I quickly scan through the thread looking for the relevant stuff to copy-paste into the OP, pictures don't help

 

[Surkin]

Guess it will be another 24 hours until jod take his picks.

 

[AxelFoley]

Guess it will be another 24 hours until jod take his picks.

He probably didnt realise that business hours doesnt mean night shift...

 

[peternorth]

He probably didnt realise that business hours doesnt mean night shift...

jod is in WA right?

that would mean an extra 2 hours

 

[jod23]

You guys are mean

 

[jod23]

I need a big man and I need to satisfy the player from the team I support so im taking ...

Joakim Noah

Great defender, can score and rebound, hustles his ass off. Energy bloke. Happy to use him as the guy from the team i support at Rose and Deng are already gone.

 

[Chadwiko]

Now that we're about to be in the fifth round, as you make your fifth selections can you please also post your team line-up's as they currently stand?

Quoting so it's on this page and not omitted.

 

[jod23]

Need a SG with my next pick. I take...

Ray Allen

All time leader in made 3's. The ultimate floor spreader. Perfect SG to play next to LeBron. With defenses continually collapsing on LBJ he is gonna reign from deep. Veteran leadership too. Super smart player.

So that rounds out my starting 5.

C - Joakim Noah (player from team I support)
PF - Blake Griffin
SF - LeBron James
SG - Ray Allen
PG - John Wall (starting non all star and less that two full seasons)
