Sorry for the wait, guys. I now have 3 rookies on my team, and yes, I have officially lost it.

Make that Teletovic/Morris/Novak/Harrington/Gooden/TRob. I'm glad I traded up to grab a PF when I did. geez.

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Suffering leads to drafting a rookie. Drafting a rookie leads to drafting all rookies.

WB is well down the path to the dark side.

(TRob would have been my pick at 154 had I kept the pick)

WB: I'd like to buy a car. How much do they cost?

Dealer: We have cars between 2,000.00 and 50,000.00.

WB: Terrific. Here is a 50,000.00 cash.

Dealer: Woo HOO! What car do you want?

WB: No idea. Just sure I want a car. Let me view your lot.

And he picks my guy!

For the past 35 picks I had two guys targeted. Both are still on the board. Then I talk myself out of both and talk myself into Robinson only to have WB nab him.

I have come to a conclusion. It think it is better to score the #20 pick than the #1 pick.

Oh, I'm there already, but feel free to join me

I had another two guys in mind who were solid vets, but they were too boring to pick. I'm not going to say something stupid like, "I may regret that pick," or "I sure hope he does well". No, I'm just going to say: I'm going down fast. I blame it all on drafting Kyrie Irving to start things off. It's just gone down hill from there.

On the lighter side, of the dark side, everyone seems to think TRob will be awesome. I really don't know why, with JT in front of him on the depth chart. Even ESPN had him ranked at like 103. If he performs that well, I'm a genius. But mostly, I expect to be ruing the day I spent more time trade talking with Curtis today than getting work done.

Lol! I came close to taking Robinson several rounds ago (when I took Scola). I'm legitimately shocked he lasted this long.

Is it far enough in the draft where nobody is a reach any longer? Because I'm thinking of reaching with both my next 2 picks and my ego can't handle any of you telling me I took them too early.

BTW: Every year I try to pick a guy as a sleeper. This year it will be Harrison Barnes I guess. Why? Every stinking year GS has some wing that plays far beyond expectations. Guys that come out of nowhere to be "as good as Paul Pierce" - Old Rem. And I think Barnes is this year's wing sensation in GS. Last year was Rush. Before that Wright. Before that? I don't know, Marrow? Then who? Barnes? Azibuke? SJax? The list goes on and on. Oh, don't forget Klay.

Long story short, IMHO GS runs a very wing friendly offense and Rush is about to go from "as good as Pierce" to trade bait and Barnes is going to be the new Cinderella story in town.

I picked him at 151 and I'm thinking he'll be top 70 by the end of the year.

Previous sleepers
Gallo - Right
Lawson - Right
Name omitted - Wrong

jazzfan, I'm kinda hoping you are right despite being the guy who has Rush and specifically didn't want Barnes. I'm a GS fan and GS has more invested in Barnes (a high draft pick) then they do in Rush.

Barnes is certainly capable of putting up fantasy friendly numbers if he gets minutes (except for assists, fg%, and to's, which I expect to be poor regardless of his minutes). He rebounds well and shoots threes well and should be decent in steals, from what I saw in summer league. His defense is good for a rookie, so that's one less thing to worry about interfering with his minutes.

His main problems are:
he doesn't see anything besides the rim.
he tries to drive it even though he really can't do that yet against nba (or even summer league) competition.
He doesn't finish inside well despite his tremendous leaping ability. He hasn't figured out how to take off from one foot yet.

If that unnamed vet starts it won't be for long. He is HORRIBLE.

It's misspelled, and I'm suspecting he meant someone else. fran? Will you put in the correct name to clear this up?
