Looking at this rule:

- You must tell which category your selection is for at the time of the selection.

I'm thinking no.

You pick it, you're stuck with it.
Adds to the fun.

I select...

Manu Ginobli for Southpaw. This guy fulfills like 5 categories O.O

This draft has made me learn something about College Basketball. I never knew that Wake Forrest University was in North Carolina.

So for home grown I pick Tim Duncan.

It was a toss up for me between Timmy and Manu. I decided that Tim Duncan isn't doing as well in his age as he was even just the year before this past one. Big drop. I'd expect the spiral to continue.

Just a reminder for those picking at the end of the 2nd round, remember, we are going to reverse the 3rd round so that jaruff will pick first in the 3rd round. after the 3rd round we will go back to a normal serpentine draft.

I select Chris Bosh for the Southpaw category.

Damn, I was hoping he would slip to round three.

He was the next guy on my list with Randolph.

Pau Gasol-------------allstar

Poor him,he has a monster season until the divorce got into him in the midst of the playoffs.

It's a good thing we're flipping round 3... this is pretty much what I meant, Gasol+Durant or LBJ+Bosh is going to get voted every time over Griffin/Westbrook, Amare/Rondo, Melo/Curry, etc.

I don't think he's going to slip past the second round. But if Z-Bo's still on the board when its my turn to pick, I would've selected him instead of Bosh. :lol:

It's no one's fault when some 3rd options got drafted 1st round

Well that is just my opinion,I mean man,there are like 10 1st options in the league so the lower ranked drafters are a bit disadvantaged,but I personally think one or two GMs in the lower half are not drafting very well TBH,meanwhile Jaruff has done a perfect job as the very last guy.

steve nash aint done yet. he has one more year left to make a run at the finals. i can just feel it. (of course i said the same thing last year when i took yao ming 1st).

So how is it:

1) 1-14
2) 14-1
3) 14-1
4) 1-14
5) back to normal 1-14
6) 14-1

I hope we won't get punished with reversed order in 5th/6th two-round too, we didn't chose, we did no wrong

I am yet to hear from Lamar, we'll pick tonight even if I would have to pick for us by myself (I am yet to see how you basterds stole meanwhile :-)

)

Post #156 » by **fatlever** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 6:23 pm

doc, it goes like this

1st round - 1>14
2nd round 14>1
3rd round 14>1
4th round 1>14
5th round 14>1
6th round 1>14
etc...

after the 3rd round we go back to regular serpentine draft. no other rounds are reversed.

But that's just it... no one on RealGM (we could test it on the comparisons board) would EVER choose Amare+Rondo over Howard/Ginobili, LeBron/Bosh, Durant/Gasol, Kobe/Duncan, Wade/Pierce and probably Paul/Bogut too. Hence why it's nice for Jaruff to get 14 picks ahead to create his own "big 3" instead of ending up with a worse 3rd and a better fourth man than Doc.

hey doc, you guys have been on the clock for a long time. if you dont hear from lamar very soon please go ahead and make a pick on your own or let Jaruff make his next pick. we need to keep this moving.

LamarMatic7 · Post #159 » by **LamarMatic7** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 9:57 pm

We'll pick ASAP.

LamarMatic7 · Post #160 » by **LamarMatic7** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:08 pm

With our 2nd round pick we select Jason "The Jet" Terry as a Pac-12 player. Sorry for the wait.
