I'll take Larry Sanders. Need another big and they are flying off the board.

Not a good feeling to have when you look at your roster and don't like your team at all. Not good in anything at this point.

I was wondering if I would regret taking Millsap with my third pick after getting two bigs with my first two picks, but watching this play out, I am REALLY glad I got three bigs first, because I like the guards available much more than the bigs left.

Plus two of my bigs get 4+ assists and two of them hit 3s, so it didn't hurt as much not getting premier guards.

It's funny, I thought the exact opposite. In all my mock drafts or drafts for other leagues I always went big early and often and then I struggled to find a PG or a wing when there were still quality bigs on the board. Just didn't work out very well for me.

It may just be our assessment of guys like Calderon and a few others and how well they will do. I really like Calderon's ability to get assists and hit 3s and still get a high percentage. Most guys that get 3s shoot low percentage overall. Because a good 3 pt % is 40% but if you shoot half of your shots from that range, than you typically end up shooting a bad overall percentage. Even 37% is decent so then overall you are worse.

Bad ankles? If that's the case make sure you leave a spot on your team for me.

Ya I dont have as much faith in calderon this year. Triangle limits pgs quite a bit so not sure those 8assists are realistic

By far the toughest pick I've had in either draft up to this point. I was going to reach to fill a need until a saw this guy was still on the board. I didn't draft him earlier in the draft because of his lack of 3s and steals, and its still a huge problem for me but I can't pass on this kind of value this late. Great percentages for a PG but he may suffer from the Pop-effect.

I'll take Tony Parker(I double and triple checked the list nobody has him...)

I'm definitely open to trades at this point if anyone wants to talk about my team

I didn't take him or duncan due to the "old people tax" with respect to games played.

Ya that made me a bit hesitant but figured his production is pretty nice so the occasional missed game should be tolerable. That and my team is already a total mess so I figured what the hell. I was looking at him and 3 other guys so it was tough. Hoping somebody sneaks by everybody and comes around to me but not very realistic at this stage ha.

I think he only got 4.7 last year, but that and a couple of threes works for me since wade will get more assists this year and I have passing bigs.

I p m'd three picks to Miklo and all three were taken....dw, t.p. and jj... so I will have to go look and should make a pick soon.

Well, I may have to revise my earlier statement about being glad I waited on guards now that Deron Williams, Parker, JJ and Korver have all flown off the board in the last six picks.

Every guy I have thought about taking now went MUCH later in other drafts, so I am going to have to go with a guy I had last year who was super inconsistent, but should take a step forward this year considering he is still young.

And that guy is.....Jonas Valuncias.
