Pacers Draft Board. #2 on board. 

Post#1 » by xxSnEaKyPxx » Wed May 14, 2008 4:39 am

I had planned on keeping the other one up longer but it was a clear winner, as I imagine this one will be too.

Vote for the player you think should be second on the Pacers draft board.

Pacers Draft Board:
1. Derrick Rose

Can an admin lock the other one please?

With this I think Beasley is the obvious choice, Bayless fills a need but Beasley has a lot more value.

EDIT: I had an "other" option as well, I don't know why it didn't come up. If you think other, just post up and lemme know, I'll count the vote.

I accidentally voted for Mayo. I meant to go for Beasley. So count one less for OJ. I think we should stay away from anybody from USC named OJ.

Haha, I never looked at it that way.

Michael Beasley, no brainer. Best talent in this draft.

Went with Beasley as well for myself. He's just an unbelievable talent and would at least have me thinking a bit about taking him over Derrick Rose. I'd probably end up taking Rose, but I'd have to think about it at first.

Beasley for sure. Now the real fun starts. I think starting with 3 we may have alot more closer results.

I like this way of determining our fans' big board. Its fun.

For this one, Beasley no question about it.

2 for Mayo? That's crazy if you ask me. Beasley should be running away with this.

One of the votes was an accident...not sure about the others.

I do tend to agree that Beasley should run away from this, but...how do I put this...I would be hugely (HUGELY) disappointed to end up with Beasley vs. Rose...(should we get in this position.)
I have no idea what you're talking about, and clearly, neither do you.

I don't know that I'd be too disappointed. Has anyone seen Rose play without a Championship-calibre surrounding cast? No doubt he's a great prospect, but Beasley WAS KState this year. He beat Kansas at KState, then, in typical Kansas style, got in early foul trouble in Kansas and they never got back into the game. I don't think character is an issue with either one, so while I may prefer Rose I wouldn't be too disappointed with Beasley instead.

2012 starting lineup: Oden/Beasley/Granger/Gordan/Rose!!!!! /

FreeRon wrote:No offense Pacerguy, but the hometown card now only works on guys towards the end of their careers, and still the money card works better. I doubt that Memphis would trade Conley and the #2 for the #1 anyways as they would be just as content with Beasley as they would with Rose, especially BECAUSE they have Conley and are not doing well with big men.

Clearly, the " :wink: " was ignored. :noway:
I was mearly putting a "dream-team" of sorts together w/ local stars & young talent - just for fun. I was not suggesting "detailed trades" nor "specific offers". I thought that was rather obvious. Guess not.

(gotta admit though, that team would be fun.... :D )

Beasley @ 4 w/ Granger @ 3 is scarry!
If we get Beasley, move JO for a pick (#10/NJ?) & get another young talent (Gordan/Augustine/Anthony/D.Jordan). I also still like the idea of Hibbert (esp in this case), just not w/ #10 - but #14 or after....
