Have been waited around 2hrs after Jim's pick for Tex one to keeping draft moving and they to be able to pick a 2nd round ones right away but didnt managed to waited out and have gone to sleep around 05 AM here in my time (11 PM ET).

Can we please try not to use nicknames when drafting? Some people might not know who it is. Best thing to do is for everyone to stick to the same format:

Gheorghe Muresan, C, Wizards

quoting you so that you see the message.
please use the original name of the players not their nicknames. I may be in line and search "Butler" and when it can't find it on the page I would pick him, which would lead to a small chaos.

I got confused also when Draymond "Post Pecker Pictures" Green didn't have his nickname

[hailfire4]

picks coming super fast now. really no picks stand out as reaches yet. kristpaps at 15 comes close

And Dipo too, taken at # 18 with 36 ADP.

And Dipo too, taken at # 18 with 36 ADP.

Both Porzingis and Oladipo were taken by the same manager too. Curious when you draft a player high it does remove some of the upside of drafting them, unless you think they are going to finish even higher than you where you draft them.

But in a league like this, Oladipo would have gone well before 36 I would have imagine.

[sabonis]

No way Dipo wasn't gone by 25. But I would say Porzingis was taken a good 15 spots earlier than my expectation.
To provide top 15 value, Porzingis needs to get his FG% to at least 46.5% which usually does not happen for 42% shooter

"But in a league like this, Oladipo would have gone well before 36 I would have imagine".

True, but no way he will return that value at #15 (or overperform).

About Porzingis I agree, but Oladipo has the potential to become top 10. I'm not saying he will but if everything goes right, he can be top 10 and I wouldn't be that surprised.

[tonika_zrr]

No way he will be in top 10. Doubt he will end up in top 25.

[sabonis]

You are aware that Dipo was top 15 after Skiles started to trust him right? If he can get to top 15, of course he can finish get into the top 10. I don't see how and why you undervalue him.

[hailfire4]

Dipo at 18 even if he finishes 35 overall was a good gamble. A few late round hits will easily make up for the minor drop. of course he would need Kristpaps to be within shouting range of 15 if the Dipo pick doesn't fully pay off. think of it like this Busersports will never play against Curry, Whiteside, Westbrook, Kristpaps. Kyrie, Dipo so we gotta build our teams for the guys we do play in the 3 other forums.

Ok, thats great and totally fine if it works for you.

Interesting to see CP3 paired with Andre Drummond. COuld involve only punting FT% and one other category depending on how the rest of the Draft goes.

[tonika_zrr]

Hope with next of: Matt,Cap,Josh,Josh,Cap,Matt picks will be a fast ones...
Is always good to use timely picking at 3,2,1 at turn and also on 14,15,16 at other end.

Quoting my own post, but it looks like TheOneAboveAll will have censored available to them at the next pick. Can't see any of the next few teams pursuing the tank FT% route with their next pick(s).

I actually assumed there was a possibility he took Drummond thinking he could draft someone in the third round who would still make him competitive in FT%. Otherwise he would have gone another direction. Either way poorly constructed teams are good for the rest of us.

I see Dipo being very close to where he was drafted with some upside and some slight downside. I would have probably taken him had So-Tex not.

Steph and Klay are the top backcourt in the NBA.

2nd best is:

21%Russ/Dipo
09%Wall/Beal
24%Lowry/DeRozan
46%Dame/McCollum

About nicknames, "Dipo" and "Dame",

P.S.this is not ment for you sabonis but for all those who mentioned in Chat Room they didnt know about nicknames of Lillard and Victor, I'm not a Magic or Blazers fan but heard it like 1000 times from they rookies years till today theirs teammates,fans, commentators using those nicknames when reffering to them.

[tonika_zrr]

Lets go Josh, made those two count. Jok or no Jok...
