Slow Form RealGM Mock Draft

dice · Post #1 » by **dice** » Sat May 23, 2009 5:17 pm

No clock here!

When the Wizards board makes their call I move on to the next team. I'll wait until it seems a clear frontrunner has been determined. If that cannot be accomplished a selection will be made for you :wizard:

1. Griffin
2. Rubio
3. Thabeet
4. Harden

And with the #5 pick Washington takes...?

(Feel free to dispute/defend logic)

We aren't keeping it anyway.

Stephen Curry.

That's my vote, esp with Harden gone and no trade options. But my guess is he won't win the majority of people on this site. Can't wait to see what everybody thinks (well, we all know CCJ is voting for Blair, but everybody ELSE)

A. Trade the pick 44 45%
B. Draft Best Player Available (No preference) 4 4%
C. Draft Evans 11 11%
D. Draft Harden 15 15%
E. Draft Curry 7 7%
F. Draft DEJUAN BLAIR (CCJ's Advice) 3 3%
G. Draft Hill 6 6%
H. Draft ___________ (Your preference) 6 6%

Total votes : 96

I wonder where I got this from, FTR I picked Hill but the board wants to trade the pick.

Hey joker, I don't exactly know where those Harden votes would be going now that he's already been taken, do I? Believe me, I was tempted to plug in Evans for you guys and move on just to avoid the hassle of responses like yours. But I decided to let the process play itself out.

Any more constructive posters in the nation's capitol?

I'm sure your a little slow, so I'll forgive you.

We have a thread called "What Should the Wizards Should Do with the 5th Pick?".

Hey smart guy are you thinking of passing on your genetic code?

I'm sorry but i really don't see the point of this thread. Outside of Griffin and Rubio, I doubt you'll find "consensus" from any board. A majority, possibly... but consensus? doubtful. Even Rubio is under contention right now with holdout rumors swirling. Factor in trade scenarios and you've got a pretty tangled web that wouldn't really fit into a neat little list.

mods, man up and abort this sucker.

Did you not read my last post??? i SAW that thread, but it does not take into account harden being off the table.

34 ACT, 140 IQ here. On the other hand, I think you'd have a tough time getting past the girl in your avatar in a mental gymnastics competition.

i never used the word "consensus", you clown. Boy, you and that other guy really give the Washington board a bad name. Sacramento had the worst record in the league, got stuck with the #4 pick and were no problem to deal with.

Dice the verbiage is in the thread. Why don't you just put down what ever you want and move on.

Cheers!

Well then, isn't the next option on the list (Evans) the most logical answer to your question...???

You put your IQ to shame...

pancakes3 · Post #12 » by **pancakes3** » Sat May 23, 2009 7:17 pm

if you don't have consensus then what is the point of your list? if 51% of the board answered with Evans and 49% of the board answered Jordan Hill, would you just slap down Evans and move on? What have you accomplished? Compiling a mock draft that really has no real information in it, and riled a few feathers along the way.

i find a hard time believing that Sac-town wants to draft harden. I find an even harder time to understand what this thread accomplishes. harvesting the wisdom of crowds to compile a fool-proof mock draft? the draft order isn't set and probably won't be until the deadline. This list and all other mock drafts are pointless. If you are looking for intelligent banter wrt the draft, you probably shouldn't look on message boards. however, the closest thing to it would be the draft board.

Actually, no. Because those who chose initially chose harden would not necessarily have broken for evans the way the others did. They probably would have (or at least not definitively enough in a different direction to alter the outcome), but not for sure.

Do you really wanna play the insult game here too? You don't give me as much to work with as the others! :wink:

Although I suppose I could come up with something related to blindly coming to the defense of homies you probably don't even know.

No-need to come-down hard on Dice, everyone has their own mock.

Do you think there's gonna be consensus amongst the brain trusts in NBA team conference rooms across the nation when draft day rolls around? Probably not. It's just supposed to be a fun little exercise. Kinda like the point of the entire website really. Nothing earth-shattering.

i find a hard time believing that Sac-town wants to draft harden

Like everyone else that's not in the top 2 this year they desperately want to trade the pick. But if push came to shove they'd take harden at #4, rationale being BPA. Afterward they'd look to trade him or Martin. Not sure about the wisdom involved, but it's their call.

If you are looking for intelligent banter wrt the draft, you probably shouldn't look on message boards. however, the closest thing to it would be the draft board.

I couldn't do anything like this on the draft board due to lack of volume. And the best conversation takes place on the team boards (usually).

Washington takes Evans I guess.

Good luck Wizards. Far more importantly, Gobama.

I don't see any problem with this thread, and I really dont understand where the hostility is coming from. This seems as worthwhile as any other thread posted on realgm. For the record, I would have taken Harden (i voted for him in the other thread), but now that he's off the board, I'd take J Hill.

Yeah I guess folks are still cranky at the slide to #5. It's a sore topic. Over at Bulletsforever they're running a virtual draft board to try to ID who the Wiz fans think are the best players #1-5. Seems more useful that way than trying to keep some fakey 'mock' going. At least a virtual draft board shows where our greatest excitement (by simple majority) is for any given player, at whatever spot in the draft. That way we get to be all gleeful n' shxt if we managed to land the guy 'we' had 'ranked' at #3 on 'our' 'draft board'.

It does sorta amount to the same thing as the '5th pick... what?' thread. But what the hell we've got almost month left before the draft, not like there's a lot else to do. Other than you know insult folks who have honest, if misguided questions. Which can be fun too.

J. Hill and then trade him for a two who can play defense and isn't too expensive.

It does get a little comical sometimes. But people here do like there to be fewer threads vs more ... unless it's one of the popular crowd, then all rules are off. It is what it is.

As for my vote, I have was an early Ricky supporter. So if we aren't up there, I have been talking about Curry from the beginning. But honestly, I really don't care that much because I think we are going to win based on what we already have not what we draft. The draft could have a marginal effort next year. For me, it's more about depth and the future. Any drafted player is going to take 3 plus years before that are a key starter on a playoff team that goes deep. Someone like Rubio doesn't seem like he would be effected by the spotlight. He seems like he would be awesome fun to watch and would really help our second line players because they would run with him in hopes of getting a sweat pass for a finish. With GA acting more like this now also, that could set us up to be very exciting next year.
