I'll probably edit mine later since I don't watch much college ball or haven't read up yet on the big prospects in front of the draft or around our pick.

1. Chicago Bulls- Derrick Rose
2. Miami Heat- Michael Beasley
3. Minnesota Timberwolves- OJ Mayo
4. Seattle Supersonics- Jared Bayless
5. Memphis Grizzlies- Kevin Love (?)

25th-Chris Douglas-Roberts
(Morey said we needed more scoring, and this guy would provide it. I think we'd take Batum if he were to slip but I'm assuming he won't)

54th- I didn't even know we had the 54th, and have no idea about any of the prospects so I'd guess we trade it to either move up, or sell it.

Top 5 Picks:
1. Minnesota - CDR - Kevin McHale is just that stupid
2. Chicago - Jerryd Bayless - Chicago is momentarily stunned by Minnesota's selection before summoning the estranged spirit of Jerry Krause to make their pick
3. Memphis - Johnny Damon - Chris Wallace is just that stupid
4. Seattle - Jared Fogle - An attempt by Seattle's owner to completely alienate the city so they stop fighting for the team to stay there
5. Miami - Alonzo Mourning - Since they keep trading for him they will want to draft him again. Also he's unretired like 27 times, which is almost like being redrafted
(was I supposed to try and pick the draft order, too?)

25th Pick:
Derrick Rose - Mysteriously slips to #25 after rumors begin circulating that there are previously unknown reasons he was not picked in the top 5. Morey decides to take a chance on him.

54th Pick:
Trade to Portland with Battier for Courtney Lee - Because we HAVE to trade Battier to win the championship.

(I want my prize in cash)

Welcome back :clap:

haven't seen you post in a LONG time.

Yea, it's been a really long time. It's good to see that Roosk and Vator have done a great job with the board. Just been busy, could really use some time to just kick back and have a beer or two (Ribalding's idea for the drinking game would make for a very interesting draft night :lol:

)
