Ok, looks like we're all caught back up and ready to finish this thing up!

Yep, I'm ready with my next pick as soon as Skin makes his (I've emailed him). Hopefully we can turn the corner and work out way back to the western hemisphere guys in time for them waking up.

Stick's been emailed, copied in Edrock and MF4L too to let them know they should be up soon.

Was quite pleased to get Beverley this late in the draft. Obviously he's got competition for minutes in Ty Lawson now, but he's the kind of guy who is always going to get playing time because of his defense, as long as he stays healthy.

I was VERY close to taking Julius Randle, so I'll be interested to see how his game develops this year. I think he's gonna be good to great value here. Was anyone else interested in taking WCS or KP with one of your next 2 picks?

I'd completely forgot about WCS, but I think that's a great pick. Blocks, Steals and Rebounds for sure, and he shouldn't harm any other cats at all.

KP I might have taken a flier on with one of my last picks, but I just don't see him doing damage as a rookie. He's gonna be overwhelmed his first year, IMO, but I've been wrong many times before.

Appreciate the response. Thing I liked about both is the amount of playing time that I THINK they'll get. I agree KP is a risk pick... someone that I might end up dropping during the season, but ohh man, I loved his summer league play. He dominated Okafor. Plus, he's been eating 5000 calories a day and already gained 11 pounds... wants to get to 15 pounds and he is getting the starting nod. Phil said PF is his job to lose out of the training camp.

Watch this... WCS cracks me up when asked to spell KP's name.

is it my turn yet?

HoraceGrant · Post #328 » by **HoraceGrant** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 12:02 pm

Yeah, has Dwightmare been skipped? If so, I'm up. I just woke up and these time stamps are strange. Let me know if I'm up and I'll make my pick.

I was killing myself deciding between Ed Davis and Aminu. I wish you would have picked Aminu ahead of me and made it was less stressful for me!

Is it my turn, or am I waiting on Dwight?

WCS was definitely on my list. I was worried that KP might start out a little slow so I had Randle ahead of him. I hoping Randle gets a lot touches this year.

I believe you're up. He was skipped. He said he'd be making his pick soon, but that was a few hours ago.

What kind of conference did you give?

HoraceGrant · Post #336 » by **HoraceGrant** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:17 pm

Hey Skin, D'Angelo Russel ended up being Dwightmare's pick last round if you want to add it to page one of the draft thread. Just so no one misses it and tries to draft him again later.

Ah nice!

Anyways, I updated the list with your selection of D'Angelo Russell. For a split second I had selected him for myself before I changed my mind to Tony Wroten. Russell fell pretty far from where I was going to take him, so I like the value you got there.

BTW, I have a list for Sweet J and LBPTH

Awesome, hopefully we can get some good movement today. I know sometimes people check in less often as we get later into drafts. Hopefully that doesn't happen.
