D-League Draft Thread

[Kerrsed]

Pekovic this late in the draft is a steal. He was picked 4th round in the premier league.

If we are using other leagues as barometers, then that means i got the steal of the draft in the premier league, as i drafted Zach Randolph in the 7th round (#86 overall) when he went in the early 3rd round (#26 overall) in the SumDumFuk League!!!

Lowry and Dragic were taken before Irving in that league. I'm not exactly an expert, but that seems wonky.

I have Lowery too!!!!! #Winning

Why is it wonky? Their stats are pretty comparable.

With the 84th pick, team BDR selects Kevin Martin.

Picks like the Z-Bo one are what make the SumDumFuk league live up to it's name.

What's shocking in the premier league is how long Wade lasted

With the 85th pick, team BDR selects George Hill.

No one wanted to have a high pick go down to injury, which is highly likely with Wade. No Lebron means Wade will have to do alot more, thus putting his body on the line more. What made Wade great wasnt necessarily his skill, but his speed and athleticism. Those two things have gone downhill fast with every injury he has sustained. Wade is the guy that used to crash the paint with blazing speed, make some crazy layup/dunk, and end up on his ass, drawing the foul. He cant take that physicality anymore. Last season i remember watching a Heat game where in 5 straight possessions Wade ended up on the floor.

Wade might be a high risk/high reward pick in the mid rounds (5-8), but any sooner than that just makes him a high risk.

Irving now has a much better supporting cast, so I'm guessing his assists will shoot up.

I had Wade on my team last year so I know exactly where he's at. He's still very athletic, skilled, and put up high level production. He missed games but a lot of those were just due to the Heat coasting the reg season without any reason to play him, that won't be the case this year anymore.

Not worth a first or 2nd round pick with the injury risks, but clearly worth way more than the 69th spot he got drafted at in the premier league.

Sorry for the wait, this is the hardest time I've had this draft so far. Been doing research on the fly as my short list got wiped out by some recent picks.

The first couple guys I wanted to go with, I got cold feet - either questions about their spot in the rotation, possibility of trade that could hurt their value, etc etc.

So I'm settling on...



Trey Burke! Hopefully Exum is too raw to get big minutes this year and Burke can get his FG% a little higher...Burke showed a good trend and picked his game up later last season.

Was set to take Lance over J-Smoove and changed my mind at the last minute due to a texting discussion with a buddy.

What made you change your mind? I think Lance is a good all-around player, it does appear, according to his game logs that he takes games off. Reminds me of Boris Diaw kind of, lol. I hope he has a good season, and can get more assist

Well, originally I was thinking now that he isn't in Indy that he would go off some what, but then had a look at he is pretty much slated to be a 3rd option behind Jefferson and Walker.

I don't think his role is going to change that much being in Charlotte. He wasn't really the go-to scorer in Indy and I wasn't counting on his point production, I'm really just hoping his overall stats stay remotely the same if not better.

Charlotte has a really strange offense though. They'd run the offense through McRoberts most of the time last season, with Kemba being a secondary playmaker within their sets. Lance is probably going to slide right into that role now that McBob is gone.

[Never Fear 33 Is Here]

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I was still a little torn and could have gone either way. I just preferred what J-Smoove gave me at that point compared with Lance.

[Safety Pickle]

Eesh, slim pickens at pg right now. I guess I'll gamble here and take Elfrid Payton and hope he can pull a MCW

Damn it

Player left with the highest potential is Roy Hibbert, so I take him

Thanks for taking my pick.

Everybody who I am infuriating with my picks : Don't worry, they will be available for trade once the league rosters get set up
