It's not, I just got the order mixed up as I just picked a few mins before it was my pick again. Anyways, I'm not complaining, floppy. The constant wait after the ends of the snake is far more annoying

I'll pick and update the thread in about an hour.

ok, didn't really want Boozer, but I think I have to take him at #90 given that he's going to be about #50 if he doesn't get hurt too long.

Weird. I get back from lunch to discover the original post in the draft thread has been deleted. Looking into it...

fortunately I can reconstruct it from the spreadsheet.

edit: interesting, apparently I was the one who deleted it. I wonder if it's coincidence that I also don't remember anything from the last two hours and am covered in slime?

Floppy, Mo Williams was already taken at 88 by Sabonis.

oh wow, thanks. Today has been hectic.

edit: ok, switched it to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

I almost took Turner, and this would be the first of 3 leagues so far that I haven't either targeted him or drafted him. But in a roto format, I worried that his lack of steals and low FT% would hurt me. Plus, he's not exactly a proven 3baller either.
Then again, taking a flier on JJ Hickson could be my undoing if he returns to Sacramento form this year. At least I have my 3rd C without totally killing my FT%. I had to pass on other probably better centers...

He was averaging 1 stl a game when he was starting towards the end of the year. His FT% isn't ideal, but he is capable of doing 70% IMO. Hopefully with more PT, his % will improve. I have him in two leagues as well.

True. If I didn't have the two-headed FT monster of Rondo and ibaka, I would've probably gone for him anyway.

In other news: Skai, you're up.

how is ibaka a FT monster, he hardly makes a difference, that's why he can get ranked so high, if his FT was a hindrance he wouldn't have been picked in the top 20

True, he doesn't shoot many FTs, but I guess I didn't want to take my chances either way.

Boy, my roster is VERY guard heavy. I'm sure hoping that there will be more trading opportunities in this league than in the FFL. Once the season starts in there you basically are stuck with the guys you have.

Anyway, I'm in the market for bigs. Guys that can rebound, block shots, and hit a ft preferred. If anyone wants to start a trade discussion.

I've got a TON of SGs.

Wade
Harden
Gordon
Martin

Would consider moving any of them for a player of similar value that fills the big cats I'm looking for.

There were a couple of players whom I felt likely to perform better than Hawes, but there are so few solid big men (who block shots, don't hurt your FT% and even give you some assists as an extra) left that I felt obligated to take him.

You stole Harden from me, I'm going to make you pay for this!!!

+1. That's why I took JJ Hickson. A warm body at the C position that won't cost my FT%

3Si · Post #198 » by **3Si** » Thu Oct 11, 2012 9:53 pm

And that's why I picked Daly. The last player who can block without killing your FT

lol at you guys stating the same thing one after another

and that's why I got BigAl, Monroe and Kaman!
