I'm updating the OP with the selections. I might go missing for a few hours from 5:30 to 7:30.

Can probably give everyone 2 picks, then for the final 3 picks give one to swedd (defending champ?) and then a random hornets and suns poster for the last two.

If Kerrsed and Yosemite (or one of the two) don't show up to participate and there are 5 participants should we not just each add a third pick?

We definitely don't need to assign one to a 4th Suns fan. Not one person expressed an ounce of interest other than three of us and it was stickied for a few days so I don't want someone to win who clearly had no interest.

Though I guess there is a very small chance someone else pops up too and wants to play.

going with Iyer and Vogoti.

why you ask? well let me explain.

Vogoti is obviously a bad ass, i mean look at this stache. Clearly has the experience on the rest of them.

Iyer might even be more bad ass, the dude has a BLACK BELT! So obviously he will kick some butt in this competition.

I thought about Iyer. I tuned in for a bit at work (maybe 10 minutes) on watchespn and saw that stache dude go up and take care of business. Thought it was funny all these kids and one looks clearly older sporting a stache in the 8th grade or whatever.

Vogoti, the only returning finalist from last year. And that mustache is top notch.

And by the way, if a Hornets poster wins this the Suns have to give us Booker.

or at least take Plumlee back :)

You guys took the Suns target that year I think in Kaminsky so we had to settle for Booker.

40 minutes to game time. Where are our other participants? Anyone want to jump in last minute, just start posting and claim a speller. Diop, you awake yet? Slam? Liverpooty? Braggins?

It's not like there is anything better to watch on TV tonight.

apparently Skeets parents refuse to pony up for a decent camera. I'm pretty sure they took that picture with a disposable.

Skeet has a shaved head? WTF? Please don't tell me my kid has cancer or something. I'm just hoping that's his tactic to scare his opponents.
