Your pick Hot Sauce!

 

[JP Sauce]

At a Brian Joneatown Massacre gig. Pick coming, possibly drunkenly, when I get home.

 

[JP Sauce]

For my 6th man, I'm taking a guy who I think has slipped too low in this draft.

I'm more than happy to select Big Al Jefferson.

A 20 and 10 guy, a shot blocker, can give me great minutes at either of the big positions. Perfect.

Cousins
P Gasol
Iguodala
Ellis
Paul

Jefferson

C.A.M.B.

 

[PHX]

My next pick:

Kenneth Faried.

 

[Chadwiko]

The Uptown Five use their next pick to select Serge Ibaka.

A young machine in the paint, he finished second overall in the DPOY voting this year for good reason. His rebounding, blocking, and low-post defense is excellent, and only continues to get better.

He's no slouch on the offensive side of the court either, basically averaging 10-10 this year.

A perfect addition to my team.

PG Steve Nash
SG James Harden (Non All-Star starter)
SF Kevin Durant
PF Kevin Garnett (team you support)
C Al Horford

Bench
PF Serge Ibaka

 

[Chadwiko]

OP updated with team lists and draft list.

Let me know if i've made any mistakes. I just copied the info people posted as they went along the thread.

Nice pick with Ibaka Chad... if I hadnt already picked Kevin Love, he would have been my non all-star starter...

Thanks.

I was almost hesitant to pick him, simply because I already had KD and Harden, and didn't want to seem too OKC heavy.

Couldn't go past him though. He's too good, and just fits too well with my team. KG as my starting PF and Serge Ibaka coming in off the bench? That's insane.

 

[Chadwiko]

Waiting for PN to come and comment on the photo I used for Ibaka selection.

"Ah-Aaaarghhhh!"

 

[Chadwiko]

jod23 is online!

 

[jod23]

Yes I am...

 

[jod23]

My designated 6th man... one of the best 6th men, probs ever. Instant offence off the bench, instant energy. 4th all time in 3's made in NBA History.

Jason Terry

 

[jod23]

Gotta take the Booze. Best of whats left, career 17 and 10 guy. Great back up big to relieve Griff and Noah.

Carlos Boozer

 

[Chadwiko]

With the next selection in the draft, the Uptown Five select Avery Bradley

[youtube]D2ZO3-Iq-t4[/youtube]

Some people who haven't watched Celtics games this year might think this pick is a bit of a reach. Those people would be wrong. When Ray Allen went down, Avery Bradley stepped in and played so good that he is still in the starting rotation, and Ray Allen is now coming off the bench.

Bradley has hustle. His defensive prowess is excellent. He has a sweet shot and hits the long-range jumpers smoothly.

Perhaps most importantly in terms of this draft competition, he satisfies both my 'designated 6th man' and my 'played less than two full seasons' criteria

PG Steve Nash
SG James Harden (Non All-Star starter)
SF Kevin Durant
PF Kevin Garnett (team you support)
C Al Horford

Bench
SG Avery Bradley (Designated 6th man, played less than 2 seasons)
PF Serge Ibaka

 

[Drumroe]

What's the criteria for a designated 6th man? Do we just designate them? Or do they have to have experience in that role?

 

[PHX]

Brandon Jennings.

Happy to have an irrational confidence player coming off the bench with a completely different look to Rajon and Afflalo in my back court. Averaged 19 points and 5 assists this season so will be a quality addition.

 

[nufan]

2 picks remaining, I know I'm going to get one of my hopeful picks. Fingers crossed I can get both.

Don't **** me hear sauce.

 

[JP Sauce]

Time for a less than 2 full seasons player.

My team already has plenty of scoring, so I'm taking Iman Shumpert.

C - DeMarcus Cousins (non all-star starter)
PF - Pau Gasol
SF - Andre Iguodala
SG - Monta Ellis
PG - Chris Paul

Bench - Al Jefferson
Bench - Iman Shumpert (less than 2 seasons)

 

[nufan]

Paul Millsap. Got a feeling he was up next for a few people.

C. Chandler
PF. Z-Bo
SF. G. Wallace
SG. Gordon
PG. Rose

Bench. Rubio
Bench. Millsapp

Fingers crossed my last guy sticks around till my last pick.

 

[Shade]

Straight cash homie selects Marcin Gortat.

will be a great big off the pine

 

[Drumroe]

Picking Brandon Knight. Had a really encouraging year for the pistons, with some really good games. Can play at the 1 and 2.

Is the my player from my own team, and my player with under 2 seasons, which of course was a huge factor for me.

C: Bogut
PF: Dirk
SF: Deng
SG: Wade
PG: Lawson

Bench: Bosh
Bench: Knight

 

[JP Sauce]

Paul Millsap. Got a feeling he was up next for a few people.

C. Chandler
PF. Z-Bo
SF. G. Wallace
SG. Gordon
PG. Rose

Bench. Rubio
Bench. Millsapp

Fingers crossed my last guy sticks around till my last pick.

Amazed that Millsap lasted this long (Boozer before Millsap? lulz). I was thinking about taking him when I took Jefferson, but big Al's height swung it in his favour.

I know right? There's another PH floating around I thought would've gone before Boozer. I have a feeling he's up very very soon.

Tossed up Wallace and Al jeff for my pick, needed a SF though. REALLY wanted Al Jeff though and Ibaka and Granger. Me you and Shade are choosing in the worst spots down the stretch.

 

[Surkin]

Okay with their next pick the Big $penders take Kevin Martin. This guy must seriously be the most underrated player in the NBA. He had an injury interrupted season this year but at his best has averaged 24 points in a season. K-Mart will also replace Joe Johnson in my starting lineup.

C - Marc Gasol
PF - Josh Smith (non all-star)
SF - Carmelo Anthony (team I support)
SG - Kevin Martin (non all-star)
PG - Tony Parker

Bench
Kyrie Irving (under 2 seasons)
Joe Johnson

 

[AxelFoley]

Had to go back and see if this guy was already picked, couldnt believe my luck when he was available!

The BHCs select with their next pick:

DANILO GALLINARI

I've rejigged my lineup...Manu is back starting for some balance and Gallinari becomes my 6th man

IMO is Denver's best player when up and about...quality addition to the BHCs!

PG: Deron Williams
G: Manu Ginobili
SF: Rudy Gay (non all-star starter)
PF: Kevin Love
C: Roy Hibbert

Bench:
Danilo Gallinari (designated 6th man)
Jeremy Lin (team supported and under 2 NBA seasons)
