You automatically lose street credibility if your name has "the third" in it.

I think he wants to be the next Isaiah Rider, thus the "JR" in his name.

Did someone hold a gun to your head and make you make that pick?

Blatche is pretty much the total opposite to what you like in a NBA'er!!


it was painful i must admit, but so was all the people left in the knucklehad cat. i was hoping to get camby or butler in that cat, but i waited to long.

but as my 4th big, i can live with him.

I'm drafting different from ball teacher's spot anyway, i.e. he can't draft this player I am picking becuase he picked up cousins.

With the 82nd pick in the 2010 draft, amcoolio takes

Derrick Favors

as his 2010 rookie and his starting center for the time being.

PG: Devin Harris / Darren Collison
SG: Joe Johnson
SF: Paul Pierce
PF: Kevin Garnett / Paul Millsap
C: Derrick Favors

:upset: OK, then I'll take Grant Hill as my over 35 year old player.

PG Rose & R. Stuckey
SG JR Smith
SF Gay & G. Hill
PF B. Griffin

Lmao, I was thinking about taking Grant Hill with this pick. That's karma for me taking Lee with the first pick. :P

Anyways, I'm going to break a few hearts here by taking a certain Terrence Williams for the Beast of the Least category.

PF: David Lee
SF: Ron Artest/Terrence Williams
C: Marcus Camby
SG: Tyreke Evans
PG: John Wall/Allen Iverson

That is ironic, I think Grant Hill is a steal, I can't think of too many 35 year olds who should be able to put up better numbers than him.

I think missing multiple seasons with the knees helped him out in the long run. A 37 year old playing and starting 81 games is unheard of.

Coolio already made his selection of D. Favors.

Wow, we really flew through this round! Good timing too because I was about to leave for the night.

I select Jason Terry for undersized SG, and Dejuan Blair as my 2nd rounder.

he averaged a double double this past season, did you know that?

This was a tough pick for me, but I have to go with what I think is the best player available of these categories, and I'm gonna pick Sacramento's Jason Thompaosn as my former college senior since he did serve all four years at Rider University.

Non-Allstar RUDY GAY
Rookie from 2010 Draft Demarcus Cousins
2nd Rounder or Undrafted from 2009/10 Draft
White American
35+ as of July 8 (Free agency?), 2010 Grant Hill
Journeyman (Played in games for 4+ teams) [
No known/visible tattoos Blake Griffin
Beast of the Least (New Jersey or Minnesota player)
Never Been to Playoffs (Minimum 4 years pro)
Over/Undersized (position determined by committee, I don't imagine there will actually be much trouble) Rodney Stuckey
Coach
