I just think with Noel you have more excitement in the fan base, more potential long run. Plus, Biyombo only has one year left on his contract, and that is presumably the year Noel won't be able to play.

It all depends on how tied into biyombo tbh. I think they still believe in him; if they don't though then the pick is Noel. Just tried to put myself in their shoes.

Nice team...for a 6 seed every year

When will the board vote be complete?

With the 6th pick the New Orleans Pelicans select:

Otto Porter, SF, Georgetown

The Pelicans have three needs, PG, SF, and C. They are proud to fill the SF position with the long small forward out of Georgetown. Porter is not a star in the making, and he will not be capable of putting a team on his shoulders, but he will be a good 4th or 5th starter who will give you a lot defensively and solid offensive production.

I am so mad guys. I feel like one guy would be the PERFECT pick for the Kings, and then a guy fell that I didn't know would. Now I'm legitimately picking between BPA and fit... Ugh. Pick will be in a minute.

Don't pick my guy!

The Sacramento Kings select:

Victor Oladipo

Tony Allen told Kings fans that sat behind him on the bench during a game this season they could use someone like him. He was right. But then again, what team couldn't? He defends (Steals, blocks, pressures the ball etc.) he hustles and he leads the team on and off the court. The dude does not have an off button. Oladipo is built from the same mold as Tony Allen. The Kings (Me) were very tempted to go with a PG as that is what the teams greatest NEED would be, however with new management, a new owner and (Hopefully) a new culture you just can't pass on someone like Oladipo when he falls into your lap. You just can't. He will probably make at least a couple teams in front of us look bad, maybe even all of them. The Kings will fill need later.

I was delirious thinking he would last until #9.

I'm guessing it was him or MCW? I don't see McCollum as a pg.

How do you get chosen to make pick? Stupid question I know. What if you think the Pels are trying to trade the pick as Monty may have hinted yesterday?

?? There was a sign up thread where we claimed our teams.

Pelican pick was voted on by the "Roost" board. It was heavily favored for Otto Porter.

Yup. I really feel like he would be a really good pick for Sacramento in real life, assuming Oladipo doesn't somehow fall haha.

Hmm if I were the blazers id either take mcollum, kaldwell pope or bazz

With the 8th pick, the Detroit pistons select
Attachment 4996

Shabazz Muhammad. Sf UCLA

With a core of knight, Bazz, Monroe and Drummond, the future of the pistons is bright.

With the 9th pick in the 2013 NBA draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves select:

C.J. McCollum

http://content.draftexpress.com/gall...1332440543.jpg

C.J. will give the Timberwolves another ball handler capable of getting his own shot. C.J. has the ability to be a great shooter at the next level, and he fills a need for a SG on the roster. Next to Rubio, I think C.J is a great addition to what will become the future backcourt for Minnesota.

Dang it!

And with the 10th pick, the Portland Trailers Blazers select SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Attachment 5003
While the Blazers need depth at the C position(and every other it seems..) they also desperately need a SG with some perimeter defense and offense, which KCP provides both of and potentially more. KCP's shooting would fit well the Damian Lillards style of play as he is sniper from the arc, that can give the former Rookie Of The Year an option too kick out too, in his dish and drive style of play. While a Center would be favorable, they also need some veteran presence inside as they already have a young project in Leonard who has been inconsistent, but has shown some signs of promise.
