and we love you for it

just no homo right?

Me = accountability, you guys = what I'm working on. Maybe I should have been the coach of the Knicks?

no homo.....

I am 2 picks away...hoping I can pick soon

I have A LOT of work to do on my team

As far as Faried goes...

I think he's an extremely talented young player that can turn into a big time impact player in the NBA. Not necessarily a perennial all-star but rather along the lines of how guys like Anthony Mason impacted the Knicks when he first got here (before he started thinking he should be the no.1 option), how a guy like Bruce Bowen impacted the Spurs title runs, how a guy like Artest impacted the games he played in (good way, not bad way since Faried looks like a great kid...he even said himself that he was a huge moma's boy). On that level. Not for every team in this BAT as despite the great energy, the great physical tools and the great ability to rebound he still has some holes in his game. Teams that are building for the future should absolutely love him. We were considering him for pick 71 though really more as a plan C or D but that was really because of his lack of experience. He was absolutely worth a pick in this range TO THE RIGHT TEAM. Faried is a great investment for the future.

Come on Deeez...post your BAT team and picks in your sig already noob.

Position wise, Faried reminds me of Lee. Lee played SF at times his early years just to get on the court. But no way is he a SF. He's a PF and even closer to being a C then a SF. Faried's the same.

I do love Faried though. Dude's a beast!

I can see that, but he is a better shot blocker than Lee, and rebounder.

He can even be my 6th man and play C and PF and i can run a good run and gun offense. He was by far BPA, I don't know why so many people are tripping over it. Dude is a beast and future allstar

Credit goes out to my partner, Paco, on that Sessions pick. I had Eddy Curry ahead of him on my draft, but the more I look at it, the more I'm loving the pick

[Context]

Pick is in. Can't wait to hear the reaction-lol

Have a go at it

Green played very well for the Nets, he is a solid pro. A highlight reel every night.

Also has developed a good 3pt shot, I was pleasantly surprised by Green.

I like the pick kneega,

I agree. I like the pick. I don't think you were early at all. He wouldn't have lasted long

Br7 might be off the hook for his Brandon Roy pick.

I wouldnt say hes a better rebounder then Lee, and I dont think he will ever be an all star. He will be a really good player but like everyone else has said he cant play sf.

My goal is to do a young/experienced playoffs team. Create a winning environment for this franchise and for the guys to fully develop. Faried's stats and efficiency are just on another level, and many feel he should of won ROY.

Faried was no where near BPA, and this is coming from a HUGE Faried fan. Fact is, you reached early on Pek and now you have created a logjam with the selection of Faried.

I can't give you any credit for selecting Dirk where you did...your team is a prime example of one of the "unfortunate to not have a Top 5 pick" teams, who failed to surround your top tier "go-to" option with the complimentary pieces to make noise in this competition.

I'd seriously consider blowing it up and moving in a different direction...trade Dirk and get the most you possibly can!

I'm also going to bookmark these last few pages for future references

Ok, after my pick. I'm on deck!

Here is my advice to team moocow: Trade for Gallo and Kevin Martin while keeping Melo and then have TKF judge your team. That would be interesting to hear

No way, I fully stand behind my picks. Don't worry you shall all see...... You shall see....

I'm just happy to be a part of this with you guys, it's been fun and only getting better.

Terrible selection co-signed by the terrible GM in question...what more needs to be said?
