The Gunners Draft - Discussion Thread

I'm going to give parsnips some time, given that the clock was off when his second picks came up. If he doesn't show up before my deadline I'll make my next pick.

I'm just glad someone else was considering at least one of those guys. I thought both were a slight reach. Chauncey was 33 but still had a very good season. There are better two-way low FGAs center than Ben, IMO.

But I don't think I've ever had the heart of the Goin' to Work team, which was my motivation. With such a premium on FGAs I'm hoping a high FGA guy or two will slide.

Ben was something of a reach only because he has a couple of seasons where his FGA were surprisingly high relative to his offensive ability. I would have definitely taken Chauncey there though. And yes, you should be able to find quality high-FGA guys later on to give your team some potency.

Hey guys sorry, had a crazy busy day yesterday. I'm happy to step back in or just let you guys finish the draft with whoever stepped in

You can take over. I believe Laimbeer's schedule is going to be a little hectic anyway.

Well so much for the CP3/KD/Dwight pipe dreams I was harboring. There one guy on my board thatd be real interesting, if he gets snagged though Im not sure where I go....

That Billups pick is getting more annoying by the minute. I should have just picked before replacing parsnips. :lol:

Dwight was a good pick. It will be hard to get low FGA all-stars in this one.

Dantleys just rebuilding the 16 Warriors then huh? Not sure thatll cut it in this setting but well see.

I needed a defender. I firmly believe a good small forward and center will be there with my next two picks. In the meantime, I TOOK ALL THE BEST SHOOTERS OF THIS ERA! BWAHAHAHAHA

Well he's not going to be starting Harrison Barnes and old Andrew Bogut. I think he'll be fine.

Whoa. Giannis and KD is definitely intriguing.

Can you unsticky the one for the Upside Down draft as well?

Mike Conley is so underappreciated IMO. He checks every box of things you want in your PG at a relatively cheap price
