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.
@DanielVeuleman
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

HR SIM LEAGUE: MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
With the 53rd pick in the Third round of the 2013 HR Redraft, the Denver Nuggets select: Brandon Jennings
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. =/
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

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

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.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
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.
