Thanks, that's why I had to double check I thought there might be some super obvious reason he hadn't been picked yet. He's averaging 20 and 10 last 10 games and is top 5 in blocks for the season.

yea I was going to take him if he fell to 61. He's only playing 29 minutes and still putting up really good numbers. At 61 I'm planning on doing something irrational

Still one guy that really should have gone already. Maybe more than one, but I've got one I know of.

Bucks pick OJ Mayo

I'm surprised he lasted this long considering how much people slurp him here

Definitely was hoping he fell some more, but the hope he'd fall to my next pick was a pipe dream haha.

Anyone got a site for multiple player comparisons? The new stats for nba.com are only 1 vs 1, and I don't remember about basketball reference

EDIT: Nevermind, I found one, carry on

With the 53rd pick in the Third round of the 2013 HR Redraft, the Denver Nuggets select: Brandon Jennings

http://www.upscalehype.com/wp-conten...7/BrandonJ.jpg

In a pool full of talented, young, two way ball handlers, George Karl has finally found the player that could be his next, (Now Hall of Famer) Gary Payton. Coming out of a prized institution as Oak Hill for generating NBA greats that you see surrounded around the game today in the likes of Ty Lawson, Rajon Rondo, Josh Smith and Carmelo Anthony, Brandon Jennings is only 23 years old and has already shot across the NBA stratosphere to rank as a game changing point guard. George Karl's prior history in Seattle relied on the connection of Gary Payton to Shawn Kemp that made Seattle a basketball heaven throughout the 90's. Now that Brandon Jennings is out of Milwaukee where he had to put the team on his back since the day he was initially drafted, he now comes over to Denver where he won't have to shoot his team out of a game or be the focal point of his teams offensive system. Don't mistake however his new role on Denver for meaning that'll take a backseat to his new teammates. Jennings lethal speed combined with his crafty hands make him a dangerous option to play next to Dirk Nowitzki. Brandon is ready to take over the Denver market and lead the Nuggets with Serge Ibaka and Dirk towards an NBA Title.

It hurts my heart that you just compared Jennings to Gary Payton. =/

A tiny stretch but if you look at the #'s early on in their careers, Payton was discovering his role and forced to play a lot for Seattle. Granted he shot better than Jennings but Jennings quickness and I think also as a defensive slasher and his hands are so fast and active that his defensive mentality is similar to Payton's and can play well figuratively speaking next to another offensive force like Dirk.

I liked the pick, just not the comparison. IMO Jennings isn't even in the same galaxy as Payton on the defensive end. Payton is a hall of famer and Jennings isn't even an all star. So I didn't see it as a tiny stretch, felt it was a huge stretch lol. Regardless the pick and roll w dirk would be an interesting dynamic.

Grizzlies Select Kevin Martin

Man what happened with the selections. They were rolling off and now it takes forever to get a pick in.

I'm pretty much ready with mine. Just waiting for the team before me.

bball has really been taking advantage of that 12 hr time limit with all of is picks.

Sorry I was relatively busy. I'll take Al Jefferson. I know he isn't the best defender but he shouldn't have been here at 61

Remember when I said I was ready, yeah there he goes. Good Pick Beeball.

He woulda been a bad fit for my team, but by far my BPA.

Damnit beeball! Thats who I was trying to move up for

I will be passing up a player that I think is better overall to go with what I believe to be a wonderful fit with my team. This player is shooting 39% from 3 with a PER of 16.86 and that doesn't begin to tell half the story. This is a good defender and in the upper tier of rebounding for his position at 6 per game. Wonderful team player who could shine if asked to play that role, but instead buys into a team philosophy. He boasts a TS% of 60.2% which ranks 6th for his position. A rebound rate of 11. Is making 50% of his field goals, yes I said 50. Add in 12.1 PPG, and 1.7 steals per game. Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, the Boston Celtics proudly present

SF Kawhi Leonard

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=...ng&w=350&h=254

With the 63rd pick in the draft, the Houston Rockets select SF Danilo Gallinari to help spread the floor and create space for center Marc Gasol and PF David West.

God damnit

There's literally only 3 players I want that are left, so I will break my one rule to trade draft picks to move up.

The two SF's I wanted both went in the last two picks and I tried to trade for both of them.

I thought you said I could've traded down for him. :shakehd2:

Was everyone targeting Leonard? Guess it was foolish of me to think he would drop to me.

I wouldn't have taken him if you traded down with me, I wanted Gallo.

Though I wanted Leonard too, thought he'd slip a bit.

Again I am liking the attention my pick is getting. I was afraid it could have been a bit of a reach but a perfect fit. I am on a draft roll this week.
:ninja:

*I couldn't find a "pat myself on the back smilie" so I will just start referring to myself as the Draft Ninja.

Dang. Knew I should have picked up a solid SF first and a bigman to pair with Duncan later... CRAAAAP.

Im still shocked this guy hasn't been taken yet but that's just me and I'm still looking to trade up for this guy but I'm shocked Big AL was taken that low, and Leonard and Martin were taken that high.

I agree about Martin, but not Leonard. When it comes down to explaining who you will take advantage of, you don't really have much on Kahwi

Who's pick?

Idk, I guess I just viewed him as an extremely good defensive player with a 3 point shot but limited offensive skills. Just my personal opinion.

He's not going to create his own shot or win the game for you but when you look at a list of 3's in the league it's not long. There's maybe 4-5 guys at that position that can create for themselves anyway.

Tray's pick

everyone please update your rosters if you haven't done so already

I like my team so far with Marc Gasol, DWest, and Gallo, but I need a perimeter player who can create.

ROFL.

Side note: I'm willing to admit defeat early. I totally botched my second pick by trying to rush at midnight. sigh.

:hihi: Same thing you're going to do with Gallo's gimp leg.

I might have to trade up and get my guy. There's no way he gets to me

#64th Pick, Oklahoma City Thunder select DeMar DeRozan

Attachment 4827

I have no idea what to think of my team Rondo, Deng, and Hibbert. Really wanted Gordon, I need a scorer, I might just start stockpiling shooters. I will be tough to score on I hope.

Touche :hihi:

I love what my team can do so far in the attack with Jennings, Dirk and Ibaka, but could use another defender and a wing player. Still hoping I could trade up to get the guy I want that I'm shocked hasn't been picked yet.

Not sure about the derozan pick. Raps are my 2nd fave team and i follow them pretty closely. Raps fans are about fed up with him. He has no handles, no outside shot and is a weak defender. His only real ability is to put his head down and attack the rim.

I'm not a fan of Derozen either.

I'd say the chances of me dying are outweighing the chances of me living to my next selection.
